Stunning views over the sea and good food. Most of the staff were really friendly and helpful. The sound proofing in the bedrooms could be improved as the sound of the TV next door was quite intrusive.

Pet friendly at £20 per dog per night. Unfortunately don’t allow your dog in the bar, lounge nor restaurant so the charge feels a bit steep.. That aside, lovely staff, location and good breakfast.

The room was very clean and pleasant with fantastic views. Bathroom a bit small. All the staff were very friendly and professional so a credit to the hotel. Food was very good, both breakfast and dinner so we ate in every evening. Lounge area was comfortable, again with great views and good bar staff. Definitely recommend it.

Everything was wonderful! The location is oerfect for a stroll down to Swanage and back, access to the beach is via some steep stairs but this means its nice and quiet. The room was very clean and bathroom was wonderful with more hot water than you could ever want. Food and breakfast were good with impecable speed and incredible views. Every member of staff we came across was friendly and helpful, always happy to help and had a smile on their face.

Everything was lovely and they now have a dedicated doggy room that you can use to have a drink from the bar and have your meals in there as well so I enjoyed breakfast with my dog rather than leaving her in the room.
