Bankes Arms Hotel

A beautiful historical pub, in a fantastic location. Our room was clean, warm and comfortable. We didn't eat evening meal but did have drinks in the bar. Great atmosphere with attentive and friendly staff. Breakfast the next morning was very good. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

One of the things which makes Britain great is a traditional hotel steeped in history where everywhere you go you’ve a sense of the past and the people who’ve moved through the space and used its facilities before you. Vicky and George were fantastic hosts. We had the best time staying here this weekend. The food was terrific. The cooked breakfast was so tasty and served in a charming dining salon. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Corfe Castle who’s eager to sidestep the holiday and premier inn type hotel (they serve their purpose but they’re utterly soulless of course). Thank you for making us and our dog so welcome.

We live in Swanage and would usually eat in The Greyhound or The Fox if visiting Corfe. They were both full so instead had our first meal at The Bankes. Both of us chose the roast. The servings were generous, the service excellent and very comfortable seating. I will definitely be eating in The Bankes again.

Very friendly staff and locals ! Evening meal very good

All the staff were excellent

Very comfortable, staff very friendly.

We are really pleased to have stayed here. It's a great building which I imagine the overseas tourists must be in awe of. Well even this English one was! The staff were really good, we had a very good evening meal and breakfast. There is a car park at the back which in high season must be a very useful thing for guests in this very busy village.

Really comfortable room. Friendly staff and great food. They wrapped up my breakfast as I was going a run which was really kind. It was very tasty after I warmed it up at home.

Very convenient for a visit to the NT Corfe Castle site! Also not too far from Swanage and Wareham by car or a good bus service.

Best food in Corte Castle! Chicken burger and fish and chips were amazing, friendly service and proper classic pub atmosphere. Great beers and great selection on the menu. Had food at the other pub across the road and does not compare. Thank you! Delicious!
