We had a two night weekend stay. Evening meal was very good and the morning breakfast is excellent. Great choice of continental and help yourself to a full English Breakfast. I recommend paying the little extra for a room with balcony and the wonderful sea views with the Isle of Wight on the horizon. Wonderful helpful staff.

Lovely clean and tidy hotel. The rooms look refurbished and were spotless. We had the family room which was bigger than we were expecting. Two separate bedrooms and a bathroom. The staff were pleasant. Parking plentiful. Breakfast (eggs, hash browns, beans, sausages, bacon etc.) was included. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants/shops. Perfect for our stay.

Stunning views over the sea and good food. Most of the staff were really friendly and helpful. The sound proofing in the bedrooms could be improved as the sound of the TV next door was quite intrusive.

Pet friendly at £20 per dog per night. Unfortunately don’t allow your dog in the bar, lounge nor restaurant so the charge feels a bit steep.. That aside, lovely staff, location and good breakfast.

Everything was wonderful! The location is oerfect for a stroll down to Swanage and back, access to the beach is via some steep stairs but this means its nice and quiet. The room was very clean and bathroom was wonderful with more hot water than you could ever want. Food and breakfast were good with impecable speed and incredible views. Every member of staff we came across was friendly and helpful, always happy to help and had a smile on their face.
