Richard and Steph look forward to welcoming you at Spurwing Guest House. Since acquiring the guest house name 'Spurwing', which is the largest species of goose in the world and lives in wetlands throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, and personally having an interest in British habitat and wildlife, we have named our guest rooms after the three star species of birds Avocet, Dartford Warbler and Spoonbill which can be seen at various times of the year at the stunning RSPB Arne nature reserve, only six miles away. Our guest house is 5 minutes walk away from the Wareham train station, which has regular trains to London Waterloo, Bournemouth, Southampton and Weymouth, making it an ideal base to explore and sight see using public transport.

Wareham, a 15/20 walk away from Spurwing Guest house, is an ancient Saxon walled town and is a gateway to the beautiful Isle of Purbeck and its stunning Jurassic coastline, including the magnificent Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and Old Harry Rocks. Wareham has a fine selection of friendly pubs and restaurants and it enjoys splendid views of the River Frome from its Quay. Delightful boat trips can be made from here to Poole Harbour. Only five miles away you can take in the sights of the majestic Corfe Castle and catch a steam train to the seaside town of Swanage with its sandy beach and sheltered waters making it a popular destination for families. The 65-acre ape rescue centre Monkey World and the Bovington Tank Museum are fascinating days out for all the family, both being approximately six miles away from the guest house. A few minutes’ walk away behind the guest house there is Wareham Golf course, as well as the splendid Wareham Forest perfect for a walk or a bike ride.
