Recently stayed here for the second time, and I shall certainly be coming back. Excellent service, reasonable rates and comfortable (and blissfully quiet) room all added up to a refreshing break. The hotel is well placed to explore Swanage; nice to be just a short walk from the shops and seafront.

We stayed for 2 nights during may bank holiday. On arriving to our room we found around 30-40 ants crawling around the room. The majority of them were on the dressing table. Also joining us for the insect festival was around 5-6 wood lice. We contacted reception and they explained that they could bring up some spray for the ants... More

Stayed here for a night in May. Building is beautiful and rooms excellent. Staff are obsessed with time keeping, so don 't expect serving if you are a minute late! Food was hit and miss, on occasions excellent and then poor. Overall average and would consider again.
