Places To Visit

There is no shortage of things to see and do in Dorset. At Spurwing Guest House we are extremely fortunate to have many Dorset tourist attractions close by making it a perfect base for sightseeing, including historical Wareham itself. For this reason we have many guests who return here year after year.

Five-minutes walk away at the end of the road is Wareham Train Station and a bus stop with opportunities for exploring in both directions travelling through beautiful countryside.

Stress free regular trains or buses can connect you to popular seaside resorts such as Swanage, Weymouth and Bournemouth, not forgetting the regular mainline trains to London Waterloo.

Our Guest Information Book in each of our Guest Rooms is full of local information to help you plan your day and ensure an unforgettable holiday.
