All very nice although I think the property would benefit from a swimming pool ie built in the grounds where the old greenhouse is located

The hotel was fine just not worth £230 for a double-room without breakfast. The bed was comfortable and everything worked fine and the staff were friendly. I wouldn't rate it as 'superior double'.

I didn't like that we were charged for breakfast on the second day, (which we booked directly with the hotel , not on Expedia like the first day) when we didn't have it.
Obviously the money was taken from our account before breakfast instead of waiting for the list to come from the dining room showing who had breakfast.
Room and staff were lovely.

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.

We arrived tired and late after a SWCP walk and received a warm welcome from staff who went out if their way to accommodate our particular needs. The room was spotless and the hotel very stylish. Location is good and allows easy access into the busy town, and on site parking was plentiful
