Book a hotel near Shell Bay Beach, Swanage

"From stepping foot into the hotel, we were greeted with smiles from the lovely staff. Our room was lovely, much bigger than expected and was clean. The windows don’t open but the air conditioning kept the room cool all night. We didn’t hear the slightest bit of noise during our stay so it really was peaceful. Breakfast was the best I’ve had in any hotel. So much to choose from and a proper coffee machine. Everything was cooked perfectly and was hot and the continental options were amazing. We would definitely book again and I’d recommend to anyone!! "

"Breakfast good , fresh"

"Lovely flat, very comfortable and spacious. It’s perfectly located for morning beach walks with the dog and also a good base for exploring the wider area. Communication with host Stephen was great - he was very helpful. "

"There’s only a small minor the spa could do with a spinner for swimming costumes"

"We had a beach view room - truly one of the best views we’ve had at a hotel before. I stayed with my partner and our dog. It was a trip for my birthday - I put this on the booking and when we got to the room they had put out complementary drinks, snacks and a plate with ‘happy birthday’ written on it with chocolate with a few chocolate dipped strawberries and a red velvet cupcake - a lovely touch! Overall a lovely hotel. However two things to note - dogs aren't allowed in all rooms - I called ahead to check before booking and was told dogs are allowed in all rooms, so booked a sea view room. I called to see if we could have the same room for both the nights we stayed (we used vouchers so had to make two bookings) and then just checked that the dog was also on the booking. This is how I found out that dogs in fact are only allowed in certain rooms. The hotel did honour the booking after discussion (I told them I was told we could stay in any room). Secondly, it’s £15 per day for parking (and we were told this was a discounted price) which I think is extortionate - I think parking should be included in the room price. Would stay again, but a few things to be aware of for future bookings! "

" We love the location and have stayed here on a few occasions. We love how the hotel is so pet friendly. It’s accessible to Bournemouth and Swanage, plenty of walks from the hotel and close to the beach (especially for an early morning/ evening swim). Our dinner was lovely and the breakfast is plentiful. "
