Sehr komfortabel, sehr empfehlenswert!

Sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffet. Sehr freundliches Personal. Rezeption 24h besetzt. Das Hotel befindet sich in einem sehr interessanten historischen Gebäude mit einer tollen Atmosphäre.

Gar nichts

Quiet, comfortable and full of character

The owners have gone to a great deal of trouble/cost to preserve the original character and features of the property - yes, it's "old fashioned" but that's the point! The room I had was quiet and the bed very comfortable. Would visit again.

I felt breakfast should really be included in the price; perhaps it is if you book direct rather than through another site? A slightly more challenging WiFi code would also help it's security!

Very welcoming staff and lovely venue.

Venue was lovely, a bit out of an Agatha Christie novel. The building itself was quite grand and the grounds were well maintained and attractive. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. the rooms were serviced daily to a good standard.

The table cloths in the conservatory for breakfast would have been nicer if they had been linen instead of plastic.

A decent hotel but not living up to its potential

Lovely location with stinning viewsA decent hotel but not living up over Swanage. Good breakfast.

Communal areas lacked atmosphere. No catering apart from breakfast. Nothing to do on a very wet evening.

Nice place to visit, glad we came

View was spectacular. Bed very comfortable. Bathroom clean and spacious. Location good. Breakfast very tasty. Beautiful building and the gardens were a treat.

The lack of a lift for the luggage or ourselves to the 2nd floor was a daily torture which left us both feeling unwell. Coupled with the extreme heat that week resulted in our holiday being marred. I understand that the property is a listed building - hence any type of lift being a non starter.

Very good

Lovely old building with some history attached in perfect location.

Relace shower curtains with fixed screens and provide netting to keep bugs out when windows are open at night. The hotel was too classy for shower curtains!

Fantastic Hotel, staff exceptional, will visit again.

Breakfast was great in a lovely conservatory, although a little warm due to all the glass. Room was great, with a nice sea view. Location close to town and parking on site. Staff were very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much effort, really felt like a family run Hotel where they all cared about the clients.

Nothing really

Really beautiful hotel on set on beautiful gardens. Great location for the train station, local shops, and restaurants. Complete peace & quiet.

Perfect get away in March.

The location to Swanage town is fantastic, car parking brilliant, the hotel has a genuine family house feel, the conservatory out back has a good breakfast area, looking out to the well kept garden.

Nothing it is a perfect hotel for all ages & ideally situated for a walk to the beach/Pub/town/tarin to Corfe.

Overpriced, Overrated Hotel

The receptionist was great - polite and helpful. Location is good, just a short walk from the town centre. Large, free car park.

Our double room was tiny. No bedside table. No space to put our suitcase. The bed was uncomfortable. The bathroom was very small. Nowhere to keep out wash bags - we had to store them in the bath. The bedroom was very cold. I was told the heating would come on when the temperature fell below 19 degrees - it was more like 9 degrees in our room and we had to ask reception for an electric heater to keep warm. Breakfast on the first morning was 'continental' and was poor. Limited choices of ham, cheese, etc. Definitely NOT worth the money. The waitress tersely told me I would have been informed about the continental breakfast at the time of booking. I read my booking confirmation thoroughly and could find no mention of a continental breakfast. Our cooked breakfasts on the second day was delivered to the wrong table. The plates remained in front of the guests whilst they debated about whether they had ordered black pudding. Eventually, the waitress realised she had made a mistake and brought the plates to our table, but by then the food was getting cold. Having our food breathed over by other guests was definitely not Covid-secure! The bar bragged about how many gins and whiskeys they stocked, but there was not one brandy. At almost £150 a night, this was very poor value for money.
