My partner and I had such a lovely stay here. The room was so lovely and modern and such great value for money. The staff were super easy to deal with and warm and welcoming, and the main strip and seaside are a very short walk away. Highly recommend!

    A delightful little historical seaside town with easy walking access to a range of interesting shops and plenty of coffee places. Lots to do for all ages including the railway, museum and pier. We loved the beach and my grandson enjoyed the playground with the best views ever.

    Lovely seaside town with extraordinary beach and vista; we also like the shops, Steam Railway and the layout of the town. Lovely Cafe for Lunch where we waited to board the Waverly Paddle Steamer. A trip of the Swanage Steam Railway. A superb visit.

    We only stayed in Swanage as we know it well but we had an appointment in Poole on one day and walked to the Old Harry Rocks from the Bankes Arms in Studland on another. We ate out in Swanage each evening enjoying looking out to sea in the sunshine.

    Lovely place for a weeks holiday, Swanage has many eating places, sometimes pricey. And the good ones are all reserved quickly. So you have to be quick! Durston park was very good for a walk which is nearby. Corfe Castle too steep for us. The steam train quite expensive for only a few miles from Swanage.

    Great family location, lots of restaurants to choose from. Only minor issue, you need to try and book tables during high season as a lot of places were very busy. We only found one place where you could book online.

    Busy seaside resort, and good pier and nice clean sandy beaches. However, apart from few pubs , all places were closed shortly after 9pm, including most restaurants- surprising on August Bank Holiday.

    The location was excellent, on the cliff top with sea views and direct access to the beach. Parking was free on site. Our room did not have a sea view, but it was modern and comfortable with what looked like a newly installed bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel had a nice dining room and lounge/bar area with doors out to the terrace overlooking the sea. a pleasant place to relax.

    Breakfast was one of the best ever, and so well served. I booked the only room left in Swanage, and it was avery small single room. there was not room for a n armchair or adesk, which would have been good, but the details in the room-soap, towels, fridge, lights etc were up to the best hotel standards. the owners were efficient, friendly, welcoming. A good stay!

    Spacious. Comfortable bedrooms. Excellent location for exploring Swanage; it was 5 minutes walk away from beach, park, crazy golf and closer to shops and cafes. That it came with parking was a factor when we booked. My family enjoyed playing the piano, guitar and the Xbox! It was clean and well appointed. Having Alexa to play music was nice.

    Every evening we returned a form which we had filled in with our breakfast-wishes. We could choose between SO MUCH. Our triple bedroom was spacious, the hotel is next door to the path to the beach. In the reception is a fridge with ice cold water to take to your room + fresh milk for your tea.
