Loved the location, Swanage is a great town to visit with plenty of pubs.The Winch was clean and easy to find.Because of previous complaints about the bed we decided to take our mattress topper so, these reviews are very helpful.Our only criticism, the sofa was very uncomfortable and the TV tiny.Christmas at the Winch was excellent.

This was a little gem. It was so cozy and comfortable. So close to the shops, bars and resturants. We found everything good and would have no hesitation in staying there again, I loved Swanage so the chances of that are very high. There were nice little thoughtful touches (ie DVD's games books. various useful literature.
