My last minute booking for the Purbeck House Hotel proved to be perfectly timed with beautiful weather and an excellent walk to Old Harry's Rock, very much helped by some great guidance and advice from the staff.

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.

Two nights stay to walk some of the coast path around Swanage and revisit some favourite locations. The hotel was nicely situated for access to the paths and the coast generally.

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.

It was a grade 2 listed building which added to the lustre of the building, (due to this there is no lift, so be prepared to use the heavily carpeted stairs).
Only breakfast available, this is a first class breakfast.

Returning visitor. Always love staying here however there have been some changes.
Breakfast arrangements changed with no menu or table service.
Croissants shop bought en masse and from a multi bag, bread basic not great choice.
Large bed which was lovely but duvet too small for the bed and no extra one in the room. Thankfully it wasn’t cold.
Staff friendly as usual. Pleasant stay just not the same

Purbeck hotel was a last minute decision and one I was very happy to have made. I stayed in the lodge, great sized rooms. Staff were lovely and helpful, made me feel at home. Location was great for the town and the Swanage railway, the reason why I was in town. I did not have breakfast as was out early so cannot comment on that side. If I was looking for a negative point then my tv didn’t work (I wasn’t in the room much anyway) and the shower/bath could be better (showerhead needs improvement for sure) and I’m not sure who uses baths these days - a walk in shower on the the next renovation please. Car parking great too, although I missed the entrance first time round..
