Top Swanage Hotel Reviews

THE NICI Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"Very modern and well equipped. Great location and stunning views of the beach."

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good stay overall, but the hotel didn’t quite have the level of grandeur we expected from a Marriott. We booked two rooms and appreciated being given adjacent ones on the first night. The rooms looked good in terms of listed square footage, but the proportions were awkward and made parts of the space hard to use. The air‑conditioning also didn’t work. Later that night, we were moved to interconnecting rooms with working air‑con, which made a noticeable difference. The pool has great views, but despite being advertised as heated, the water felt cold and appeared to more reliant on sunlight than a heating system. It warmed up as the day progressed. After swimming, my eyes were irritated for several hours, which raised concerns about the chemicals used. A pleasant stay overall, but several details fell short of what we’d expect from a Marriott‑branded property. "

The Knoll House

10/10 Excellent

"I knew that it was an old building with an interesting history and that is part of its charm, so not surprising that it could do with a bit of maintenance. However, that did not affect my stay. I really enjoyed staying there, the room was clean and had everything I needed. The staff were attentive and helpful. The food was of good quality, well cooked and presented. The situation is lovely and I particularly enjoyed being able to sit on the lawn or terrace and enjoy the view. I was staying on my own but felt quite content, and comfortable to be there. I just needed to get away for a few days break and Knoll House proved to be the perfect place for me."

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We have just left the hotel. From very friendly staff at reception, bar and spar nothing was a problem. The spar is a hidden gem. And we booked through Hotels.com and got the 5 days for half price! Bonus! We used it every day. Only eaten once in restaurant and Happy hour at the Bar, well happy 3 hours! 4-7. Would definitely visit again."
