Please note, last year most summer weekends were booked by the end of April. If you have a preference, please book early.

Nestling in a rural, south-facing side of the Purbeck Valley, at Harmans Cross, The Whirlies offers comfortable, quiet, bed and breakfast accommodation for up to four people. Views across the valley are delightful and the sea at Swanage can be seen in the distance. We are 70 metres back from the A351 and very peaceful.

Harmans Cross is perfectly placed between Swanage and Corfe Castle, with easy access to Wareham, the Isle of Purbeck and the World Heritage Coast of Dorset.

A large garden surrounds the house which is always busy with many, varied bird visitors.

Limited mobility? Please note both rooms are at ground floor level, no stairs!

Small groups? The two rooms are separate from the rest of the bungalow.

Feature terrace with gorgeous views of the valley and to the sea in the distance, complete with luxury swing seat.  

    Just perfect for balmy evenings star gazing....

We offer a double room with en-suite tiled shower cubicle, sink and WC, and a twin room with en-suite bathroom, sink, shower bath and WC.  Both have HD flatscreen TV, Freeview and DVD library, for those quiet evenings in.. Photos of the room are here.

Both rooms are non-smoking as is the rest of the house.

In order to preserve the tranquility for all of our guests, we regret that The Whirlies is not suitable for children and babies.

There is substantial car parking in our drive. Our community is Neighbourhood Watch and very safe.

Night time noise is minimal and we often enjoy star-lit skies with no local ambient light.
