Two nights stay to walk some of the coast path around Swanage and revisit some favourite locations. The hotel was nicely situated for access to the paths and the coast generally.

A beautiful old property and lovely extensive grounds, in the heart of Swanage. Not far from shops, pubs, cafes, restaurants and the beach, but it is still peaceful and quiet, to stay there. Very clean room, lovely overhead shower in the bath. Breakfast was a buffett, with plenty of choice and if you asked, the chef would cook you fresh scrambled/poached eggs or smoked haddock. Staff friendly and attentive.

It was a grade 2 listed building which added to the lustre of the building, (due to this there is no lift, so be prepared to use the heavily carpeted stairs). Only breakfast available, this is a first class breakfast.

Returning visitor. Always love staying here however there have been some changes. Breakfast arrangements changed with no menu or table service. Croissants shop bought en masse and from a multi bag, bread basic not great choice. Large bed which was lovely but duvet too small for the bed and no extra one in the room. Thankfully it wasn’t cold. Staff friendly as usual. Pleasant stay just not the same

Nice place - super stay - good sleep

Purbeck hotel was a last minute decision and one I was very happy to have made. I stayed in the lodge, great sized rooms. Staff were lovely and helpful, made me feel at home. Location was great for the town and the Swanage railway, the reason why I was in town. I did not have breakfast as was out early so cannot comment on that side. If I was looking for a negative point then my tv didn’t work (I wasn’t in the room much anyway) and the shower/bath could be better (showerhead needs improvement for sure) and I’m not sure who uses baths these days - a walk in shower on the the next renovation please. Car parking great too, although I missed the entrance first time round..

Just one night away to do a bit of walking on coast path. Ideal situation and very helpful and accommodating staff, nothing seemed to be any bother. We stayed in the lodge which are good sized rooms.
