Purbeck House Hotel

Purbeck House hotel is such a beautiful, historic building. Our room was large, warm and well equipped. The staff were friendly and helpful. The town centre is only a short walk away. We plan to return again soon.

We were made very welcome. The hotel was warm, clean and comfortable and very quiet. Ideal location situated in the centre of Swanage with an on site carpark.

I have stayed at the Purbeck House Hotel a few times and my experience has always been good. This trip was no different. Staff are always friendly and helpful. The main hotel has a lovely olde worlde ambience and is only a short walk from the town centre with it's pubs and cafes, and the beach. My single room was spacious, clean, well laid out, and a very reasonable price. The only downside is the lack of cooked breakfast, but with so many places to get breakfast in Swanage it's not really surprising, and other hotels are doing the same. The hotel does provide a list of the breakfast places with contact details. The hotel does a continental breakfast, which I had on this occasion and was good. I have already booked for another stay, so that says it all really.

A great location, rooms are light, spacious and comfortable, ours had a bath, which was nice. Beds were comfortable and the room was nice and warm despite freezing weather outside.

We had a lovely stay at the Purbeck House Hotel. The building is magnificent and is really beautiful house that is steeped in history. The staff are super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Thank you Jan and team for making it so special. See you again.

Lovely old stone building with a bar and lounges. One can stay in the building itself or in Louisa Lodge adjacent (wandering in to the main building to enjoy the facilities). Close to the local shops and eateries, it's our first choice when stopping in Swanage, which we do a couple of times a year.

The room was lovely and warm and very pleasant. The bed was comfortable and the shower was powerful. My room had a picturesque view and was very relaxing

We arrived at the hotel to be greeted by 3 deer in the gardens, the grounds are lovely and well kept. The hotel itself is wonderful with such character and class. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Our room was beautiful, with a four poster bed and huge bathroom. The views from the windows were amazing and the room was extremely clean. We can't wait to come back!

My single room was spacious, comfortable, very warm and with the promised sea view. Breakfast was available but I don't eat in the mornings. There was no shortage of hot water and no draughts - which you might expect in such a large, old hotel. The house was magnificent with high ceilings, stained glass windows and mosaic tiled floors. There were sitting rooms and other tucked away places to sit and read when the weather was wet. The staff were so helpful and friendly and parking was secure and with ample spaces. The hotel is in the centre of the town so just a few minutes walk to the shops, the beach and the beautiful pier. The locals were very friendly! The independent shops were interesting to browse. I went in November but we had a Spring-like weather so I visited local beauty spots like Kimmeridge Bay and Corfe Castle. Highly recommend you visit Swanage and stay at the Purbeck House Hotel Disliked · There was no lift but staff were happy to help me up the stairs with my luggage. The person that helped me also gave me a brief history of the buidling and his long-standing connection with it. Fascinating!

Just back from a wonderful weekend at the hotel. All the staff were so pleasant and welcoming. They definitely care about their guests and want them to enjoy their stay. The hotel is beautiful with many original features, but well maintained and clean throughout. The rooms are spacious and all individual with everything you need. We spoke to the manager who explained that the hotel had been in the family for generations and the plans for further improvements to an already fabulous hotel. There was only Continental breakfast provided when we stayed, but there was a good selection of fruits, breads, yoghurt, cheese etc along with a good coffee machine. Due to the age of the hotel, there is no lift and quite a few stairs to climb if you have a room near the top, but we wouldn't hesitate to recommend or stay there again. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and looking after us.
