  : Room was 1st class, breakfast good and location very good, close to town and sea front. The hotel is full ohistory, a very interesting place to stay, we would recommend it.

  : Wonderful building, bedroom large enough to swing a Bengal Tiger, great area for breakfast and lovely grounds. All bang in the middle of Swanage. A real delight.

  : A lovely old fashioned hotel in the centre of town. The staff were friendly. The showers were good and the bed was comfy. There was plenty of room in the hotel car park.

  : Very elegant building, spacious and relaxing, with a lovely peaceful rear garden
  : Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding on our breakfast booking which meant we ended up paying twice for breakfast on our single night stay. We didn’t notice until checking the bill later. I emailed and phoned the hotel to get this amended but they didn’t respond. I was very disappointed as this was a simple mix-up which could easily have been resolved.

Disappointing

  : The position of our room was excellent, on a corner with a sea view. Only food in this hotel is breakfast, so truly it's a B&B. So expensive for that.
  : We chose an expensive room because it had a balcony. But when we get there it's rust and the balustrade is broken. I have photos. Dangerouse to go on balcony and Health & Safety would be horrified.

  : The room was delightful and the breakfast very good The central location was useful and there were places to eat. The Hotel staff were helpful particularly recommending places to eat and making arrangements to eat in the hotel The parking was good and although the distance from car park to reception was inconvenient I cannot see what you could do about it! It was useful to be able to stop for a few minutes just outside the door
  : The shower over the bath is not ideal especially for elderly guests and there could have been more support. Personally I would have preferred to have a good walk in shower and no bath! The opportunity to eat an evening meal in the hotel would have been welcome

  : Breakfast excellent
  : Shame no options for evening meal especially as options for decent meals in Swanage almost zero
