Purbeck House Hotel & Louisa Lodge

Fabulous building being carefully restored.

Nothing comes to mind.

An Enchanting and Grand Coastal SanctuaryOur recent sojourn at the Purbeck House Hotel and Louisa Lodge was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in a breathtaking coastal location just moments from the sea, this magnificent property possesses the majestic architectural splendour of a historic castle. Local lore suggests its origins as a tranquil nunnery, adding an aura of timeless charm and fascinating heritage to the entire estate. We resided in a meticulously appointed, ground floor accommodation within the Louisa Lodge. The quarters were remarkably airy, providing an exceptionally comfortable and pleasant sanctuary. Each morning commenced with a delightful continental breakfast that was both remarkably nutritious and thoroughly delectable. The hotel grounds are a lavish, picturesque paradise. During the daytime, the vibrant gardens are populated by playful squirrels and charming songbirds—complemented by the enthusiastic presence of the local seagulls! As twilight descended, the estate transformed into a magical sanctuary where we witnessed majestic deer, badgers, and foxes roaming freely. What truly elevates this establishment to a superior standard is the unparalleled hospitality. The staff members are incredibly accommodating, genuinely amiable, and consistently surpassed our expectations. Even the housekeeping service was absolutely flawless. While officially designated as a three-star establishment, the sheer elegance and sophisticated ambiance make it undeniably worthy of a five-star classification. It is a wonderfully opulent retreat that we highly recommend.

Does not apply!

The welcome from reception. The room was well thought out with everything that was needed. The lounges and bar area are great. Grounds are pleasant with seating available. Its close to the centre of town.

The change in the breakfast offer. Whilst I understand the reasoning to stop offering a cooked breakfast I feel the continental breakfast is adequate at best, many of the items offered being of a basic or poor standard. At the very least tables should be laid with cutlery and napkins. Also it’s a shame that there is no background music in the bar or lounge areas. This could be provided at a management agreed level and of a genre that is suitable for a hotel of this type.

Sea view was a stretch
