We booked the budget rooms which were surprisingly spacious. The conservatory has lovely views of the water and it’s very easy to walk to the sea. We would return.

We were upgraded when we arrived to a Seaview room. The room was a nice size, very clean with a wonderful view. Having steps straight onto a beautiful beach was amazing. The hotel staff very friendly and informative. We enjoyed using the Spa facilities. The only slight issue was there is very little parking however there is road side parking and if you do have to paid to park they do reimburse you.

We had a wonderful 3 day stay at the Grand. We booked the lowest cost room which was compact but comfortable. We had a great view over the sea. Staff were helpful and food was great. We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub, and its possible to walk to the beach for a plunge. Its a pleasant 10 minute walk to the town centre.

We found the staff outstanding at this historic property with a breathtaking water view! The hot tub and sauna were a welcome treat after a day of hiking. Parking was not a problem but there is limited space in the parking lot. The neighborhood was quiet for a relaxing break, with the town centre close at hand if you want to stroll along the waterfront.

Very enjoyable one night stay.

Friendly and informative reception. My comfortable sea view room had an excellent sea view and view of Swanage. Very good shower. I had time for a splash around in the pleasant little spa pool. Very good dinner with interesting choices. Not cheap, but very good quality, so still good value. good breakfast in the morning. I'd happily stay again another time.

The hotel sits up above Swanage bay with a beautiful view out to sea. We had a room with a balcony. The room was quite small, but on arrival very clean. There was no fridge or worrying no safe. We stayed for two days at a cost of £536. Yes a little steep but i was expecting great things. On our return we found our room in the same state as we left it. Bed not made dirty cups and toiletries not replaced. On questioning this at the reception, we were told that you have to request your room to be cleaned. I have never heard of such a thing. Apparently we should have been informed of this on arrival, which we were not as there is no way i would have refused it. On the whole a very disappointing stay,certainly not what we expected. I have stayed in many hotels mainly abroad but have never experienced this policy.
