Without exception every member of staff we had contact with from dining, bar, reception, were so very polite, with a genuine smile and only to pleased to help.
Steps down to the sandy beach for swimming, or for walking into town along a concrete pathway passing beach huts. Also the hotel immediately opens onto the Coastal Path which leads firstly to Harry’s Rock.
We spent four nights in a very relaxed environment.
Thank you.

The room was very clean and comfortable. Had the toilet cistern block with limescale late evening prior to going to bed. staff very helpful and response excellent. Offered to change room but we got it going. Plumber replaced same next day. The breakfast was good but not the best. Bar prices a bit steep.

Thank you for such a perfect stay. Every detail was catered for and it was so lovely to find many essential & little extras provided. I’ve come to Swanage since I was little and getting to stay at the Marston penthouse has been such a treat & the icing on the cake! The view is stunning and such a relaxing place to be. We’re so grateful for this experience & wished we could’ve stayed longer. We can’t wait to stay here again in the future. Thank you so much :)
Absolutely loved everything about our stay here. We were made to feel so welcome. Our room was wonderful, with lovely views. The breakfast was excellent and the general vibe of the place was really relaxing.
Breakfast was lovely and substantial - and a great choice with quality food. The owners are friendly and helpful and it was a relaxed stay. I am going back there in a few weeks :)
Situated within east walking distance of the sea front, Town and Train station, perfect for a few days holiday. Property has a lovely seaside feel which the Owner has worked hard at to put his guests in the relaxing holiday mode.
The apartment is bright and cheery with modern furnishings and all conveniences. Matt has honestly thought it all through and we couldn’t find anything he may have missed. Parking is very easy at the back of the property.
The Grand hotel is in a fantastic location with views of the bay and access to the beach . Lovely to be able to swim in the sea followed by a dip in the pool and jacuzzi.
A spacious and very comfortable b&b. The bed was a little hard for me, but that is my preference.
A huge, beautiful sitting room to relax in.
A lovely dining room, with more than ample, well cooked breakfasts! Alison the server is a ray of sunshine!
Kate the owner is a lovely host and nothing is too much trouble!!
Very good value for money.
An excellent stay and we will return!
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 to get to main hotel, for the bar and Breakfast. Breakfast was excellent and good value for money. All the staff were friendly, approachable and helpful. The location of the hotel is excellent quick easy access to the main town centre and of course the beach!
The Pines is a lovely relaxing hotel for a single traveller or with husband /grandchildren. All of which I've experienced. Beautiful breakfast and view from the dining room. Lovely staff.
