I booked this hotel just a couple of weeks before I visited, at a special offer rate for the single room with breakfast included. The hotel is easy to find and is full of the original character from when it was first built as a large family house for a local gentryman. Lots of the original features remain, such as... More

The ambiance of this hotel is outstanding with a splendid location in the centre of town. The decor is agreeably in keeping with the architecture.No matter who was in reception they were always extremely friendly and helpful. We had one of the larger rooms which gave two different views of the sea. It represented one of the best values for... More

This is a lovely, old fashioned hotel full of quirky, period features but with top level standards of cleanliness and comfort.The service we received from everyone at the Purbeck Hotel was outstanding, from the lovely lady on reception to the friendly waiting staff. We got an excellent rate as the hotel was quiet after christmas and would love to go... More

Very smart hotel, old fashioned character house with lots and lots of history. Sits in the centre of town up a gentle hill so easy to walk into town or to the beach to explore. The hotel sits in its own gardens with lots of nooks and crannies to explore - very peaceful. There is a separate modern hotel unit... More

28 of us stayed at the hotel for a stroller's weekend. We all had very comfortable, spacious, clean rooms. The staff were friendly and very helpful and the food was of a very high standard. Best of all is the building itself - shedloads of history, wonderful mosiac floor in hall, breathtaking decor in the lounge. There was a wedding... More

Just back from a three night say at this interesting hotel which could almost be a tourist attraction in its own right, adorned as it is by various artefacts imported by one, George Burt in the nineteenth century. In keeping with the rest of Swanage, it has a dated feel to it, but if you aren't sympathetic to that, you'd... More

What a releif it is (these days) to be on the receiving end of warm, courteous and clear telephone skills and to deal with a hotel reception where customer service is fundamentally the aim rather than merely selling a room! PH and LL has a delighful reception team and the polished telephone manner was matched in the warm, well trained... More
