Had a wonderful time. Staff from the very beginning were professional, kind, helpful and accommodating. SWANAGE was a gem too. At breakfast get the scrambled eggs - best I’ve ever had.

"Charming hotel in great area to explore the stunning coastal paths."

10.0

Lovely hotel with great views and friendly helpful staff. Bedroom was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Not keen on the layout of the Pool/spa area. It was small and overlooked by a gym, which you had to walk past down a corridor to get to the small sauna, but it was very clean.

"Wonderful views"

8.0

Wonderful views from bedroom, conservatory and breakfast room. Meals were very good but we we were disappointed that there was no fish option on the menu on either night we stayed. We felt some areas of the hotel need some TLC but overall an enjoyable stay.
