Absolutely stunning hotel. We stayed on the top floor of a beautiful building, the room was large, clean, and welcoming. Couldn't really fault anything!

The hotel was fine just not worth £230 for a double-room without breakfast. The bed was comfortable and everything worked fine and the staff were friendly. I wouldn't rate it as 'superior double'.

We arrived tired and late after a SWCP walk and received a warm welcome from staff who went out if their way to accommodate our particular needs. The room was spotless and the hotel very stylish. Location is good and allows easy access into the busy town, and on site parking was plentiful

Lovely stay, perfect for our holiday to Swanage. The hotel was a very nice building, with lots of fascination with a lovely garden. The staff were all very pleasant, as was our room and breakfast. A perfect stay, thank you.

We had a lovely room with a splendid view. Helpful cheerful staff. Would benefit from a lift; our room was on the top floor and my wife is arthritic. Breakfast was rather aversge.

A lovely well-kept property with character and charm. Despite a lovely large room, it still felt super cosy. Gorgeous sea views, perfect location for a quick walk into town. Book book book.

This is a stone built listed property of beautiful design and resembles a small castle. It is a unique hotel of a past era but but strangly attractive and very interesting. For its age it is in very good condition and beautifully turned out and decorated in the turn of the 1930 styling. We very much enjoyed our stay and the staff were very helpful and of beautiful character. We felt very much at ease and one of the family. Overall a lovely period hotel staffed by dedicated people only 5 mins from the beach. We would stay there again. Trevor and Deb's

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
