There was a good choice of continental breakfast - we didn’t have anything cooked
We thought the breakfast charge could have been included in the price of the room
Great location. Views amazing from rooms.
Beds uncomfortable. Room very expensive considering no breakfast included. Parking for hotel very limited and hard to find a space on the road.
Very good and helpful the position is fabulous
Close to the town with lovely views out to sea.
Parking spaces were very limited.
Great location, beautiful views, good facilties, good food, decent breakfast.
Initial incorrect room issued with no sea view, they then changed it upon request and upgraded it too, with no extra charge. No masseuse available initially at spa, then made available upon request for the following morning. No dedicated beach area for hotel or sunbeds. Quite expensive for one night.
Very friendly staff food very good fantastic position
Food positioning
Helpful staff. Good location. Lovely view from the restaurant and the food is good.
Although nicely refurbished my room had an issue that needed repair. This was quickly resolved by changing rooms, which was appreciated.
The views and the staff. Lovely breakfast served by wonderful staff.
My single room - bathroom was lovely but the room needs some attention. The net curtain.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The views of Swanage Bay from the terrace and my room were stunning. The room was comfortable and quiet. I loved the breakfast. The spa is quite small but it was an added bonus to have the pool as an option to swim in (although we mainly swam in the sea). We ate out so I cannot comment on the evening meals. The car park is quite small but we managed to find a space.
Lovely old hotel on the cliffs, great views and friendly staff.
All good.
They were able to accommodate me short notice, unusual as often booked.
Everything
Everything.Had a spotless luxury room with balcony and stunning sea views.Staff were brilliant and very helpful as I have mobility issues. Ideal that they have a lift. Plunge pool was great for my physiotherapy and the food was excellent- fresh, good quality, and straightforward/unfussy menu at a very reasonable price and not being forced to pay for 2 courses if not needed. The garden overlooks the beach and is a lovely suntrap for a drink.A great location for a quiet, relaxing, luxury adult break.
Absolutely nothing to dislike here, but would suggest upgrading to replace plunge pool/jacuzzi area with a bigger swimming pool instead and more accessible changing and toilet facilities (too many steps).
The location is truly amazing- lovely garden to sit and relax overlooking the sea! Lucky to get parked in front of hotel!
Ice cream as a dessert after eating out in town was expensive! Took some time to check in! Reception staff very friendly!
The position is amazing,
Our booked rooms were changed one day before our stay. We had booked a balcony room and were moved to a standard room which had very narrow opening windows, no tea or coffee and odd furniture.
We asked to be next door to each other if possible and were actually on different floors. Our room was so hot that we couldn’t sleep and this wasn’t in the heatwave. The temperatures were average for the time of year. The cost of the room is £250+ per night without breakfast and we expected more. This was our 4 th stay and we have loved our previous ones so we are really disappointed. We were offered breakfast as a compensation which was appreciated but didn’t make our room suitable or value for money.
