Top Swanage Beach Hotel Reviews

Purbeck House Hotel

Purbeck House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We picked this hotel as it within walking distance of town centre and beach area. Also it has free car parking and plenty of space. The room was large and clean, we stayed in the annex building and used the main bar. The hotel is old and quirky but well cared for with obvious ongoing care and maintenance. Staff were all helpful, polite and cheerful. We would recommend this to others and be very happy to stay again."

The Knoll House

10/10 Excellent
"I knew that it was an old building with an interesting history and that is part of its charm, so not surprising that it could do with a bit of maintenance. However, that did not affect my stay. I really enjoyed staying there, the room was clean and had everything I needed. The staff were attentive and helpful. The food was of good quality, well cooked and presented. The situation is lovely and I particularly enjoyed being able to sit on the lawn or terrace and enjoy the view. I was staying on my own but felt quite content, and comfortable to be there. I just needed to get away for a few days break and Knoll House proved to be the perfect place for me."
