First class hotel with sea views and balconies. Quite, exclusively positioned in marine landscape with no noises in road outside.

It was just right for our wedding anniversary Perfect setting for our special day.

A pleasant and comfortable hotel. The room was a little on the small side, but it was adequate for a stay of only one night. Dinner was a most enjoyable and indeed excellent meal, which made the cooked breakfast on the following morning surprisingly disappointing. Some of the 'hot' dishes were only lukewarm, and the plates were stone cold. But there was a good choice of fruit, cereals etc, and overall the stay was a pleasant experience.

Excellent hotel for families, couples and single people alike. Clean, comfortable rooms which we highly recommend. This is our 5th year! Well kept gardens, with steps down to the beach. Worth a gentle saunter along the coastline towards Swanage town, which is approximately about a mile.

It was fine. Standard hotel, but not worth the money.

Our bedroom overlooks the roof of the kitchen area with a humming noise from ductwork. We had noisy neighbours above banging on their floor.

The hotel is well situated for walkers, the beds were confortable, the bathroom was very clean, we had a balcony. There was not enough pressure in the shower. We told the receptionist. The breakfast was ok, traditional.

Very friendly staff. Our room was a nice size and the bath was as well. I recommend The Pines for a comfortable stay.

Nice room but tiny ensuite bathroom and limited safe facilities. Excellent breakfast and good service.

The staff were all welcoming and attentive and helpful. The rooms were bigger than we expected, they were bright and airy and clean. The room numbering was a little challenging, not being consecutive. A few signs at the top of stairs and lift would be helpful. The breakfast was lovely and a good selection of self service buffet or cooked to order. The sandwiches served in the lounge were really nice, the fries being crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. There was a good selection of non alcoholic drinks, which is important to me these days. The hotel location on the cliff top with superb views to the Isle of Wight and steps down to the sandy beach was great. We would definitely stay there again.

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at The Pines. Please don’t be out off by the dated exterior. Inside, this hotel is a stylish and modern gem with stunning views. Our sea view room (no. 41) was spotlessly clean with modern decor. We received a warm welcome on arrival and all of the staff we encountered were lovely. The hotel is a leisurely 5-10 minute walk to the seafront which was perfect for us. There is also free parking which is a bonus. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location to stay with a dog. The centre of Swanage is only a short walk along either the coastal path or the road. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was great and delivered to the room [due to having the dog]. We will definitely return in the future.

Great location and beach. The views are amazing. Right on n the SW Coast Walk, and super for dogs!
