Very enjoyable one night stay.

Friendly and informative reception. My comfortable sea view room had an excellent sea view and view of Swanage. Very good shower. I had time for a splash around in the pleasant little spa pool. Very good dinner with interesting choices. Not cheap, but very good quality, so still good value. good breakfast in the morning. I'd happily stay again another time.

I had a sea view, but the windows were cloudy. I don’t know if it was in between the two pains or if you need new windows I understand this is expensive and it could be pretty quiet at the moment. But it spoilt the view a bit had fo find a clear bit or clean bit of glass. Staff were very friendly and helpful, so overall I give it excellent

We really liked newly refurbished room with the balcony and sea view. The communal areas and outside areas are in need of major refurb. A bit dissapointed with breakfast. Room was freezing and the set up of tables felt canteenish rather than Grand hotel like. Love Swanage and hotel was conveniently close to walk to .

Lovely hotel

Very nice hotel, very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely room, great views. Clean as a whistle. Bathroom spotless and high spec but shower pressure a bit weak. Slight negative was pool and hot tub was very busy with lots of members - eg 6 teenage boys in the hot tub (perfectly well behaved btw but made it crowded). Appreciate spa is another source of income for hotel but put us off going down next day. Would also have been nice if a few more food options were available in the afternoon as arrived at 3:30 quite hungry and scones were only item available. None of above would stop me from coming again however if in Swanage.

The overall stay was pleasant. The staff were friendly and the area is beautiful. Unfortunately the hotel itself could do with some work. For example, the paintwork.on the hotel is peeling off, our television didnt work in the room and they had no one at 8pm to fix it. Also the breakfast is not included and overcharged at £15 a head, including for my kids who only ate cereal.
