Special weekend break

We booked a last minute getaway and we weren't disappointed. We stayed 2 years ago in October. The room was a small double - very comfortable withvrea and coffee making facilities. Bathroom was a bit cramped but lovely walk in shower. Highly was being on the ground floor opening on to the garden was perfect for our dog. He could sniff around in the gardens directly in front of our room freely but we kept an eye to ensure he didn't wander off. Dogs aren't allowed in public areas inside hotel but it was fine as we were able to leave him in the room when we had breakfast and dinner. However, there was a function room we could have used to eat and drink if we needed to keep our dog with us. The staff were all lovely.... very attentive and helpful. Breakfast was really good.... with a great selection and an extra choice of speciality cooked food. Dinner was very nice too with a great choice of food abd excellent service. The dining room had a fabulous view over the bay. In fact, the view over the bay from the gardens was stunning. Steps down to the beach are not for the faint hearted (154!) .....down was fine but up was hard work. You can walk along promenade and walk round on path if you wanted to. We can't wait to visit again.

This is a very friendly and well-managed hotel with spacious rooms and good service. The location on top of the cliffs above Swanage Bay gives fabulous views both from sea-facing rooms and the well-maintained grass terrace. Steps lead down directly to the sandy beach.

The staff were really lovely and customer service excellent. The hotel is in a perfect location and the walk along the beachfront into town was very pleasant. Having a quiet beach literally just down the steps from the hotel was a real bonus. The only slight downside was the bed in our room, which was too small.

Unfortunately we made reservation at the last moment. The Hotel was practically fully booked but one room, which turned out to be a freshly renovated room but in the worst location. Overlooking the parking lot and the neighbors across the street. I suggest anyone who wants to book this Hotel to book a waterfront room. Other than that the Hotel is very nice.
