We love how the hotel is so pet friendly. It’s accessible to Bournemouth and Swanage, plenty of walks from the hotel and close to the beach (especially for an early morning/ evening swim). Our dinner was lovely and the breakfast is plentiful. ##### Lindsay Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Vince 30 Dec 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is tired. The staff were great. Food okay bit limited but breakfast was good. The location near Studland beach is excellent. GRATUITIES! On checking out I found around 20 gratuity charges. Whilst happy to pay a service charge for the evening meal 10% was added to everything from opening a bottle of wine to buying a beer all added without my knowledge. I was told they were discretionary so had them removed. I’m not tipping someone for taking the top off a bottle. Beware! ##### Vince Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Lovely old world hotel in a fabulous location.

The locations unmatched being placed in one of the most beautiful places in the uk. 2 minutes walk over to Studland beach and the nature reserve and just 5 minutes drive to Swanage and Corfe castle. Inside the hotel is a quiet lounge, Mini cinema room, Library, games room and nice leisure facilities. It is very much family friendly and dog friendly also so expect lots of children and pets walking about, All well behaved and not a reason to put you off staying here if youre looking for somewhere beautiful and quiet to stay. Would recommend staying atleast 2 nights to take full advantage of the facilities and surroundings. ##### Graeme Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicola 7 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved stay in a pet friendly quirky hotel. ##### Nicola Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Helen 19 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is 1920's property.

Unbearably hot - my goodness they could save so much money by turning the heating down a degree or two. Staff were surly, but then again they are British! Dubious levels of decor and organisation, but good enough. Mostly, I rated this hotel - I'd come again. ##### Matthew Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [5\* Detached Stone Cottage with a Private Indoor Pool (Not Shared)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashbourne-Hotels-5-Detached-Stone-Cottage-With-A-Private-Indoor-Pool.h31752210.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Windsor Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Egham-Hotels-Fairmont-Windsor-Park.h60335617.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Macdonald-Old-England-Hotel-Spa.h10610.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [ORIDA Maidstone Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-ORIDA-Maidstone-Hotel.h74419166.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Aphrodites Group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Aphrodites-Group.h901033.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) ---
