It’s a lovely art deco style hotel in a great location. Lovely and light and airy with high ceilings and wide stairways and corridors. Access to a sandy beach and views to Knoll beach and Shell Bay on Purbeck. Right next to the chain ferry which is brilliant and gives you quick easy access to the above and Studland. We had a lovely room but it was on the third floor with no lift access to the third floor and a really long walk to get to it. It was also very hot with no air con. I had to ask for a fan and lighter bedding, which was delivered to the room. The staff were lovely and really helpful. Would recommend a stay here.

Property had excellent sea views. Our room a deluxe double with sea views was only adequate. The toilet had not been cleaned properly and the flush was weak which meant we had to unplug it each time with a plunger. The room and entire hotel was tired and the bathroom in our room defintely requires a refit. The dining room in the evening lacked atmosphere and was cold. No heating was on in the communal areas. The restaurant at the sister Harbour Heights hotel was far superior and had more menu choices.
