Guest Reviews
Couldn’t fault the Friendly staff, clean room, nice breakfast
Dinner service was slow. Almost 50 mins from ordering to getting my meal. Then the quality was not great. Salmon over cooked and new potatoes obviously reheated in a microwave- awful.
I was glad it was just one nights stay.
The impressive staircase was worth the room rate alone ,it has a lovely beech front location and I will 100% stay here again if I come back to visit.
I wish the room was a bit warmer
Fantastic atmosphere - an 'old' hotel that has been thoughtfully modernised. As a sea swimmer I was delighted that facilities include a pool, sauna, hydro-pool (plus a fully-stocked gym) - I was not expecting this, nor how welcoming the gym staff are! The rooms are clean and modern, facilities are impressive, and the meals (and the views from the dining-room) are wonderful. It exceeded my expectations, and I will be returning.
The only issue is with parking but I understand there is free access to a long-term carpark within a 5 minute walk.
Top notch always amazing
View, breakfast and room all good.
Pool too cold, mentions after a first ten minute swim. Didn’t use second day too cold. Will be booking again next year.
Pool too cold on both days
It is well situated. Sadly the weather was dreadful
The refurbishment has been done on the cheap. Our room had this unattractive scaffolding outside which was very disappointing. The hotel wasn’t full. We could have been given another room. It felt like an old age home!
Great stay
Spa facilities needs improving
Great views and grounds
Lovely and clean! Very friendly staff! Beautiful sea view from the restaurant! Lovely garden! The spa facilities were a plus!
Very friendly and efficient staff
Great location, lovely building. Great staff, very helpful & polite. Good food
Parking my car was difficult, must be much worse in the summer
We have been enjoying visits to the Grand for many years now and, as ever, we had a wonderful time during our recent stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the hotel itself is characterful with elegant decor and lovely views, particularly from the light and airy conservatory. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the food delicious and we love the fact that the town and beach are a short stroll away and we can go on beautiful hikes in any direction, exploring the coast and hills. All in all, we hope to be back soon!

Nothing
Had a wonderful time. Staff from the very beginning were professional, kind, helpful and accommodating. SWANAGE was a gem too. At breakfast get the scrambled eggs - best I’ve ever had.
Lovely hotel with great views and friendly helpful staff. Bedroom was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Not keen on the layout of the Pool/spa area. It was small and overlooked by a gym, which you had to walk past down a corridor to get to the small sauna, but it was very clean.
Wonderful views from bedroom, conservatory and breakfast room.
Meals were very good but we we were disappointed that there was no fish option on the menu on either night we stayed.
We felt some areas of the hotel need some TLC but overall an enjoyable stay.
