This was a lovely relaxing overnight stay at the end of my holiday. I had a wonderful sea view from my spacious room on the top floor, which had a large fan that quietly delivered a cooling movement of air during the night. It was only a 5-minute walk to the beach for a swim. In the early evening it was lovely to sit & relax in the garden area with no pressure to buy a drink from the bar. The shower was powerful with a large head and a handy second hand held showerhead.

A clean quiet hotel in a good location about 15 minutes walk along the promenade from the centre of Swanage. Staff are very helpful. Serves breakfast and dinner and has a spa in the basement and pleasant beer garden right above the beach. The parking is very limited and the only other downside is that the bed is one of the least comfortable (/older?) that I have slept in.

Great stay in the family room with our teenage boys. Lovely room and great shower. Hot breakfast to order was very nice and plenty of coffee and cold breakfast options. Enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi and sauna and tried the cold water did in the sea which was encouraged and a cold experience. All staff very nice and great service throughout. Would love to return in future. Thank you.
