Swanage
Had room 4. It was very spacious overlooking the garden. Lovely. Unfortunately the bed not quite to our liking but still acceptable for a weekend stay and the room made up for it. Very central so ideal for walks, shopping and site seeing places close by

2 day break
Very nice hotel. Room spotlessly clean and bed very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was varied and plentiful. One thing that was not good, hotels.com advertised our room as having free breakfast included, but when booking in we were told that this was not the case. We hope that we will receive a refund from Hotels.com, as this was still advertised on their site.
Lois, 2-night trip

Very helpful staff. Positive attitude at all times. Good breakfast selection. This was my first visit to the property and I would certainly stay there again.
Tom, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A lovely place to stay
The setting and location of the hotel is amazing. A lot of work has gone into renovating and maintaining the place to be a great, relaxing holiday destination. All of the staff I interacted with were friendly and positive with a great level of customer service. My room was decently sized for just myself. I found it to be a great place when I just wanted some time to relax and read a book. My only tiny bit of criticism with the room I stayed in particularly was that there were cobwebs around the ceiling light and on part of the ceiling. I can appreciate the ceilings are pretty high, though, so they may be tricky to clean often. Definitely not a deal breaker in any stretch of the imagination. Breakfast both days of my stay were to a high quality. The options for food were also vast which is great. Service on the Monday morning when there was a menu instead of the buffet was met with speedy but good service. It’s nice that the quality of the food wasn’t compromised on at all to make it quicker getting to me.

A beautiful old property and lovely extensive grounds, in the heart of Swanage. Not far from shops, pubs, cafes, restaurants and the beach, but it is still peaceful and quiet, to stay there. Very clean room, lovely overhead shower in the bath. Breakfast was a buffett, with plenty of choice and if you asked, the chef would cook you fresh scrambled/poached eggs or smoked haddock. Staff friendly and attentive.
