Wonderful

Room looked out over the beach and whole bay,
Wooden garden picket fence needs to be checked.
Staff were all excellent and helpful
Restaurant was first class,
Lovely clean and tidy hotel. The rooms look refurbished and were spotless. We had the family room which was bigger than we were expecting. Two separate bedrooms and a bathroom. The staff were pleasant. Parking plentiful. Breakfast (eggs, hash browns, beans, sausages, bacon etc.) was included. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants/shops. Perfect for our stay.
friendly staff. very comfortabkle refurbished sea view room. Enjoyed walk into town via the beach. Would stay again. Loved the fish for breakfast and the fresh fruit

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.

Stayed in Old Harry one of the self catering chalets. Well appointed and spotless. Great for a few days away.
Listed as Pet-friendly at £20 per dog per night. Unfortunately do not allow your dog in the lounge, bar or restaurant so the charge feels a little steep. That aside, lovely staff, location and breakfast.
The hotel is stunning, it's the first time we've visited and room was out of this world, the view was another level and the service we've received was outstanding, everyone was so friendly and helpful and we will definitely be back soon, Thank you for a fantastic stay. ☺️
Check in was quick and effortless and the location and hotel were perfect and I hope to revisit ..

This is a great hotel, wonderful location and we didn't even get in our car once as it was so easy to walk to town, to the beach and get the steam train also. We had 5 young children and a dog and it worked for everyone. highly recommend

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.
