The hotel is a great character building in a great position in Swanage my wife and I had a lovely stay for three nights over the New Year with a very comfortable and warm room. the breakfast was a very filling and well cooked. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and made our stay a delightful experience. We have stayed at this hotel a few times in the past few years and it always meets our requirements and expectations.

Even though it was situated in the middle of Swanage, and therefore handy to walk to restaurants and explore the the town, it was quiet. Stayed in the annex where the room was large and very comfortable

Very close to town centre, railway station and beach. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The grounds were very nice and well kept. The rooms was clean and comfortable. Excellent car parking available. Not very enthusiastic about the continental breakfast on my second morning, but I guess thats just a personal thing.

Great location, excellent breakfast. Staff very friendly. Areas of consideration. Would be good if the hotel provided food in the evening. We could have done with a couple of glasses in our room, and a box of tissues. However the overall experience exceeded expectations! would definitely return
