Welcome

Swallows Rest B&B on the world famous Jurassic Coast in Dorset is just 300 metres from the Fleet Lagoon and the South West Coast Path.  We have 5 B&B rooms including a luxury family room.  Chocolates and home made cakes, tea and coffee are served in the bedrooms on Denby and Wedgewood china collections. We use Egyptian cotton bedding and towels and luxurious shower gels and hair products. 

Rooms have sea views of the Fleet Saltwater Estuary and Chesil Beach across the field where the horses and sheep graze. Guests have access to the gardens, the summer house and fields with a footpath leading down to the sea.
