The only way to leave a review is to first make a booking. That's how we know our reviews come from real guests who have stayed at the property.

When guests stay at the property they check out how quiet the room is, how friendly the staff are and more.

After their trip, guests tell us about their stay. We check for naughty words and verify the authenticity of all guest reviews before adding them to our site.

Smartly presented hotel with good views to the sea and town of Swanage. Style is conservative with a small "c". My single room was smallish but nicely equipped with a comfortable bed and good bathroom. Common areas are nice and roomy with good views. About a mile's walk from the centre of Swanage with a bit of a climb, but much nearer to the beach. Held my luggage for me during the day.

There were a few small things No can opener They got us one after a couple of hours No sieve or colander Dirty roasting tin in oven Although Celine went to shop and got us new ones straight away She also asked if we needed anything else she would get it for us Nothing too much trouble

Fully electronic system meant we could go straight to the room and leave quickly when checking in and out

1. Check-in; The checkin in process was not quite worth the money spent for the booking. There was a long line of people checking in because of the inflexibility of the 4 pm check in Some frustrated people as their rooms were not ready at 15:50 and was asked to stand aside until 4 pm… No welcome drinks or smiles welcoming upon entry of the hotel 2. Apartment: The fridge was dirty not wiped thoroughly The sleeper couch felt very unstable and unsafe 3. Restaurant Dust pile up in the corner seat /cubicle we had reserved for my husband’s 40th. I had that it was a special occasion and no effort from the waiters to wish my husband a happy birthday or a simple gesture to acknowledge this. We asked the waiter what they would recommend she mentioned the shank but when asked what it’s served with replied she’s new and doesn’t really know anything. We had to keep looking for assistance, the restaurant was empty and not sure why they were all at the one end of the restaurant leaving us to request for desert menu’s, drinks or salt & pepper 4. Breakfast Procedure That an absolute joke! This is supposed to be a luxurious experience but rather stressful as the restaurant is small and are told to have breakfast early? On holiday? Who does that? Maybe consider adding the limited breakfast options to room service. Horrible scrambled eggs please rethink how this is made! 5. Staff The staff in general from the restaurant were the unfriendly and unhelpful staff I have come across at a restaurant to date
