Wonderful place.
Scott
If you like peace and quiet tucked away in nice scenery then this is an excellent little B&B, the host Justin was super friendly and knowledgeable of the area, always had time to stand and chat about anything making you feel extremely welcome.
Rooms were very clean, tidy and well maintained.
The cooked breakfast was very nice, also a nice selection of cereals, pastries, fruit, yogurt, juice etc.
There are a few pubs etc for food local for evening meals etc, Justin can give you all the information and recommendations.
Will definitely be staying here again when in the area.

Nice peaceful neighbourhood with great views of area. The room which was #1, was clean with a very comfortable bed and functioning shower. These are important to me. The owner was very accommodating.
tim
Easy enough to find on Sat Nov I had a 2 night stay, the property had plenty of parking space and good outdoor space for sitting. All facilities worked well and were clean, the owner/ host showed extensive knowledge of the area which aided my stay.
My breakfasts were super offering quality and variety..worth it just for the breakfast.
I would not hesitate making a return visit.

David
This is a great little place, an authentic B&B with an actual breakfast and an actual host that you can actually talk to!!!……….ie not an AIRBNB without breakfast and a remote host who really doesn’t care whether you are there or not
Justin is a great guy and an excellent host, extremely helpful and accommodating.

George
Justin is such a kind and helpful host who has a wonderful place to stay. The Plow down the road has excellent food too. Justin is the perfect English host.
Diane
The host, Justin, is an amazing one-man-band. Incredibly welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The room I stayed in was lovely; clean, bright and warm. Each day my fridge was restocked with water and fresh milk. The breakfast was always fabulous, especially the poached eggs (perfect!). Plenty of parking (free) and beautiful countryside, though not far from all amenities (3 min drive). Pub within walking distance. I will definitely stay again and will recommend to visiting friends and family.
Cathy
The guest house is in a lovely location, quite rural, but with a good size town within 10min drive. The property is clean and welcoming. The host is easy to deal with and very helpful. The double room was bright ans spacious. The ensuite had a powerful shower.

Really nice breakfast with multiple choices.
Bill
Friendly stay
We were attending a wedding for the weekend. The owner was away but his stand in Nick went out of his way to make us feel welcome and was very friendly. Breakfast was epic and we could decide on the time. A very cosy and comfortable bed, very quiet road even with a front facing room.
It suited our needs very well

KELLY
Perfect in every way.
I was looking for a quiet place to stop for one night, to break up a long trip back to Wales and could not have found the most perfect place. The guest house is beautiful, the location was peaceful and quiet and the warm welcome from Justin was so nice after a very long day. My room was lovely, very clean, complimentary fresh milk and a bottled water in the small fridge, plus tea/coffee. Justin was a lovely host, made even more so by the fact that he is motorcycle mad, like myself, so the conversation when arriving and at breakfast was just perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend Manston Guest House, it's truly a little hidden gem.
Fiona

One night stay but could be a week next time
Lovely clean room with everything we needed. So good to have nice English Breakfast tea and Nescafe Gold coffee in the room. Fresh milk kept in a small fridge was a real bonus. Thank you.

This was a lovely night's stay. The owner made us very welcome, was helpful, polite and friendly. The accommodation was nicely presented, comfortable, excellent quality and very peaceful. The breakfast was the best I have had when staying away, personal touches just like home but very professional too. I would highly recommend this guest house for a short or long stay in Dorset. Convenient to eateries , the coast etc. Thank you.
