The Hotel is great facilitates, a very large restaurant and breakfast area. We had dinner in the restaurant and food was amazing. The Hotel is about 10 mins or so from Swanage, with a bus stop outside, we managed to grab a taxi back to hotel one evening when exploring Swanage.
The hotel has a small golf course, swimming pool (indoor and outdoor) and the walk to the beach is less than 5 mins, there is a section which is steep down to the beach, but stick with it as it is worth the views of Studland, definitely will be returning the Hotel.
Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Dating from 1898, this wonderful hotel commands a majestic location, nestled in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, providing a spectacular view across Swanage Bay and Pevril Point.

A bit hard to find, good job we had sat nav. the accomodation was so good, plenty of room & seating in own garden, leisure facilities free. whole area is wonderful. Receptionist helpful & polite. No bad points for us at all. plenty of walking areas, loads of cafes , bar food & restaurants in Swanage. Everywhere clean.Lots of different shops in Swanage & Poole. We had a trip on the steam train to Corfe casle & visited the model village in Corfe, young children would enjoy this fairy garden with its wild places & hidden surprises. A great area for those with dogs, they seem to be welcome everywhere including beaches, many public footpaths.

Good to have the freedom of self catering in a comfortable and clean caravan. Although we were situated near the entrance, we had to drive around the site to get to our caravan. This was challenging due to the hills, reception had drawn the route on a site map. We did not have far to walk along a narrow path to leave the site. I would try to book a caravan in a similar situation again to avoid a lot of hill walking. We were able to walk into Swanage but got a taxi from Bill's Taxis to return as it was uphill.
We enjoyed coffee and tea at Java coffee house. Restaurants were generally fully booked for an evening meal. We ate early at The Old Stables (booked) and Beavers Restaurant (did not book). Both were good meals with friendly and efficient service.
We took the bus from Swanage bus station to Durlston Country Park, had coffee and cake in the restaurant, sitting outside looking over the sea. Walked around the area, including the Great Globe and coastal path.
