The Pines Hotel, hotel in Swanage

Stunning sea views are offered at this cliff-top hotel overlooking Swanage Bay. With private steps down to the sandy beach below, The Pines provides free parking and full English breakfasts.

Nothing to dislike. The first impression after checking in was the lounge/bar area. The view from there and from the outside terrace is stunning looking out across the sea. There are steps from the terrace all the way down to the beach although that part of the beach is about a 5-10 minute walk from main town beach. Staff were exceptional. So friendly and welcoming. Every single one from reception, bar staff, restaurant team and even room service. Could not fault them. We had breakfast and dinner every day and the quality of the food was excellent and not overpriced. Similarly, the service was superb. They are well enough staffed that you are never waiting for anything and all are helpful and polite. Room was larger than I'd anticipated, very comfortable and clean with a small balcony, albeit overlooking the car park but it's so quiet there it really doesn't matter. Car park gets a little bit busy at the end of the day and overnight but that didn't bother me because I only ever went out late morning and was back by 4 or 5 o'clock and there was plenty of availability. Overall would highly recommend. Lovely location, very quiet, yet only a 5-10 minute walk into town. We will be going back.

Tasty continental breakfast choices  including fruit & croissants & a great coffee machine! Not forgetting a little sausage breakfast for Nelson! Very clean and tidy & everything on hand. David & Pumpkin could not have been anymore attentive with little cooked treats along the way! Only 15 minutes walk to Bournemouth Town Centre & pier. The train & bus station just a few minutes walk! We shall miss them both & will definitely stay again. We cannot recommend Little Robin Gate highly enough. Dave, Alex & Nelson 🐾💕

    The location of the property was ok but the front door is located onto a very busy main road so not so good for puppies. The steps up to the garden were not very pleasant and our puppy was too afraid to use them. The interior of the cottage was dated and worn out. The sofa was even ripped open. It was not clean either. Dead spiders, flies, cobwebs and hanging loose wiring not exactly dog friendly or welcoming..
