After wandering around looking for a b&b for a two night stay, we came across the Rivendell and how lucky were we ! It wasn't the cheapest but it was certainly worth paying a couple of quid extra. Our room was immaculate, designer and cosy. There were lots of little extras that made the stay comfortable. The breakfast was as... more

It's a crime that we haven't written our review sooner. We stayed at Rivendell for New Year and whilst there we got engaged! The family who run this B&B were among the first to share our news and they couldn't have been happier for us. They made the occasion even more special by the fantastic breakfast, beautifully kept rooms and... more

Fabulous place: amazing breakfasts - freshly baked soda bread & scones, home-made cereals & fruit salad - then something cooked if you can manage it! Lovely comfortable clean rooms. It's the general atmosphere of quiet calm though that impressed me the most: Kevin & Lyn are two of the loveliest people you could ever wish to meet. PS: Thanks for... more

This visit marked our return to Swanage after a break of 3 years having previously spent 21 consecutive years in various self-catering apartments with our children. Returning without the now grown up offspring, we wanted a touch of luxury but with a 'home from home feel. This is it!! The reviews posted already helped us decide and they proved to... more

Rivendell is a great find after trying various guest houses in the area. The owners make you very welcome from your first arrival. Rooms are well equipped, smart, modern and well maintained. We were particularly impressed with the excellent showers. There are lots of extra touches where the owners go 'the extra mile' to make Rivendell stand out from other... more

Stayed here whilst on a weekend break in March, Although initially we had enquired elswhere, but that had been full, the owner recommending the Rivendell. I've no idea what the first B&B was like but we were both bowled over by the charm of this smart B&B and by the friendliness of the owners. Our room was at the front... more

What a find! A birthday walking weekend round Swanage and we found this gem. Spotlessly clean throughout and comfortable beds. But the breakfast really made the stay, home made soda bread, blueberry muffins and even chocolate brownies and that’s before the cooked breakfast! Liked it so much am considering using it as a base for our next year’s family summer... more

We had a six night stay over October half term. Kevin & Lyn couldn't have been more helpful - encyclopedic directions and advice about local attractions, excellent breakfasts and bottomless hospitality tray (not that we needed it!). Real family atmosphere - toddler on hand for impromptu entertainment but not at all in an intrusive way! Room was absolutely perfect -... more

On travelling around the south of England we stayed in a number of Guest Houses, Hotels and Bed & Breakfasts. We found that standards varied considerably and to some we will not be returning. Rivendell Guest House on the other hand was excellent. The beds were comfortable and we were well looked after at breakfast. You should try the soda... more

Rivendell Guest House, We were met at the door with the owner who insisted on taking our cases upstairs for us. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much for them. They even changed the time of the breakfast as I had an early appointment to drive a heritage steam engine. The food was first class. We... more
