Staff were very helpful as my elderly sister suffers from dementia. The room was clean and well appointed, some areas were rather tired looking and in need of refurbishment. Great views from the bedrooms. Breakfast very good and catered for allergy problems.

Naomi

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was great and everything we needed but we were in a building separate to main hotel. The shower while good did tend to flood bathroom. The entrance door was not very solid and difficult to lock/unlock particularly in the dark as outside light not working. The staff were very helpful and catered well for dogs. We’d forgotten dog bowl and there were spares. Overall a good stay but very pricey for what it was particularly as breakfast not included and only continental breakfast offered.

Everything was great with the hotel and the staff were lovely. Our only issue is that it’s not very clear where you’re supposed to park especially when we arrived in the dark. The hotel should specify the name of the car park on the information provided.

Lovely building only a few minutes walk from the Cove, with easy access to several restaurants near the water and absolutely lovely staff. Great views and a very quiet area, with access to Durdle Door trails, shared parking access to the lot closer to Durdle Door for those less eager to walk distances (£5 a day for three lots coverage), and a superbly comfortable bed.
