Great hotel. Loved the revolving door. Fortunate to have stayed in a deluxe double sea view twitch balcony. We had an amazing corner room, second floor- had 180• view of sea and 2 private balconies. The bed is more like king size than double which was great as my partner is 6ft 2 so we were wondering about the room. Air-con and lots of amenities. We also ordered wine and chocolates and the wine was kept chilled in ice bucket and was a nice rose, and the chocs were yummy! Cleaning staff accommodating and friendly. Large restaurant room- lots of breakfast options for all which was good. Had cooked breakfast each morning (ours was included with room) and was hot and tasty. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great location- the hotel had lots of parking, was right next to the chain ferry which was easy to use. Near to lots of areas both on foot, public transport and car. Would highly recommend.
Dating from 1898, this wonderful hotel commands a majestic location, nestled in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, providing a spectacular view across Swanage Bay and Pevril Point

The room was very fresh and clean, maybe recently decorated, everything was well thought out, we could come and go, no fuss, and extra tea/coffe/milk, toilet roll and bin bags just outside the room. It’s great that the room had a fridge, the shower was good, radiator could be adjusted to preference. Wi-Fi password is provided in the room. It is room only but in swanage there are lots of places to buy food within easy walking distance.
This is a high quality holiday let. Nicky and Gary, the owners, were very accommodating, letting me park on their drive. The welcome pack was lovely and much appreciated. Beds were very comfy. A very enjoyable stay.

A bit hard to find, good job we had sat nav. the accomodation was so good, plenty of room & seating in own garden, leisure facilities free. whole area is wonderful. Receptionist helpful & polite. No bad points for us at all. plenty of walking areas, loads of cafes , bar food & restaurants in Swanage. Everywhere clean.Lots of different shops in Swanage & Poole. We had a trip on the steam train to Corfe casle & visited the model village in Corfe, young children would enjoy this fairy garden with its wild places & hidden surprises. A great area for those with dogs, they seem to be welcome everywhere including beaches, many public footpaths.

Good to have the freedom of self catering in a comfortable and clean caravan. Although we were situated near the entrance, we had to drive around the site to get to our caravan. This was challenging due to the hills, reception had drawn the route on a site map. We did not have far to walk along a narrow path to leave the site. I would try to book a caravan in a similar situation again to avoid a lot of hill walking. We were able to walk into Swanage but got a taxi from Bill's Taxis to return as it was uphill.
We enjoyed coffee and tea at Java coffee house. Restaurants were generally fully booked for an evening meal. We ate early at The Old Stables (booked) and Beavers Restaurant (did not book). Both were good meals with friendly and efficient service.
We took the bus from Swanage bus station to Durlston Country Park, had coffee and cake in the restaurant, sitting outside looking over the sea. Walked around the area, including the Great Globe and coastal path.
