Guests often comment on Glenlee’s pretty front garden, which, we have to admit, we’re quite proud of ourselves.

The Torbay Palm, which a few years…

Only a month and a half late, our Christmas cactus finally puts on a show. Bloomin’ typical. Actually, this plant has a habit of being late. We’re just hoping the dazzling display is still going when we open up for guests again on February 24th. It certainly brightens up our guest lounge. Visitors will also have…

Just heard that Swanage has been chosen to host  the N1SCO Paddleboard European Championships over the weekend of June 10 and June 11, 2017. Apparently, Swanage was chosen for its sheltered waters, golden sands and town centre full of character. N1SCO is the largest stand-up paddleboard racing class in the UK.

This afternoon we parked in the free car park near Corfe Castle and walked to Cocknowle. After a gloomy start to the day the sun really came out in the afternoon and we were treated to some stunning views. The highlight was walking back along the ridge and seeing for many, many miles in all directions.…

Down at Swanage Railway they’re busy brushing up the rolling stock, fettling up the lines and topping up the coal supplies – and it’s much the same story at Glenlee. After a wonderfully successful season with scores of lovely guests coming from all over the country, plus quite a few from abroad, the team are…

Glenlee now takes direct bookings only, via our own website, by phone (01929 425794) or in person.

And we’ve decided to use the money saved to give our guests an…
