Pleasant

Nice location with good view of swanage bay and the sea. Bed was very comfortable and heating worked well. Staff very friendly when present.

Gym and sauna facilities seemed quiet old and run down. We arrived after it had closed for a few days and the jacuzzi and sauna were not usable as too cold, this would have been good to know as we didn't waste our time trying to access it. Staff presence wasn't great, at check in, arriving back in the evening to collect our room key (that needed dropping at reception before leaving the hotel) at the sauna and restaurant we had to hang around to wait for someone to attend to us.

Gym & Spa area needs an update, weird plastic tubes in the pool and jacuzzi bit grotti. And our window ledge had water all on it, the bath, Would have taken hours to fill as slow running a Water, But the rest of the place was gorgeous.

Breakfast was reasonable All bar one member of staff were outstanding Atmosphere was So kindly, local feeling and memorable

Lorry emptying bins pre dawn! One staff member did not have requisite skills for her job Didn't enjoy the musak at breakfast ... I'm slightly hard of hearing and so it was jarring I wish I had booked direct with hotel and not an internet booking agency !!

Friendly welcome and was able to book in earlier than expected. Stunning views from the conservatory and bedroom. Food was excellent.

Comfortable and friendly

Amazing location, perched high above the beach with a panoramic views over stunning Swanage Bay. The staff were very friendly. Rooms were clean and comfortable. My mother had a wonderful massage at the spa. A 10-15 minute stroll into town . I will definitely return to this hotel as it is good value. Loads to see and do nearby Durlestone, Corfe Castle ( wear good walking shoes) and even an evening at the tiny Rex Cinema in Wareham

There is very little parking, so be prepared to unpack your bags, hastily by the side of the hotel and drive elsewhere to find a parking spot. This wasnt a problem for us, as we stayed in November, so there was plenty of parking on the street nearby, but I can imagine it would be an issue in the summer. A few more sofas rather than formal seating in the bar would be cosier. Lots (60-70) of steep steps down to the beach would be a challenge for the less able.
