Lovely stay, perfect for our holiday to Swanage. The hotel was a very nice building, with lots of fascination with a lovely garden. The staff were all very pleasant, as was our room and breakfast. A perfect stay, thank you.

This is a stone built listed property of beautiful design and resembles a small castle. It is a unique hotel of a past era but but strangly attractive and very interesting. For its age it is in very good condition and beautifully turned out and decorated in the turn of the 1930 styling. We very much enjoyed our stay and the staff were very helpful and of beautiful character. We felt very much at ease and one of the family. Overall a lovely period hotel staffed by dedicated people only 5 mins from the beach. We would stay there again. Trevor and Deb's

Had room 4. It was very spacious overlooking the garden. Lovely. Unfortunately the bed not quite to our liking but still acceptable for a weekend stay and the room made up for it. Very central so ideal for walks, shopping and site seeing places close by
