    I stayed in the Louisa Lodge, lovely spacious room felt really comfortable and relaxed. I wasn't sure what to expect staying in the lodge instead of the main hotel but it really didn't make any difference about a minutes walk through the garden...

    Really nice hotel and right in the centre of Swanage. Arrived by train from London so the short walk was really handy. Staff were welcoming and friendly and I'd definitely stay there again.
