Beachfront Resorts & Hotels in Dorset

"Had a lovely overnight stay lovely sea view room with our dog great breakfast and very dog friendly "

"Really lovely hotel. Maybe a little tired but very clean and in a perfect location for walking to the beach and SW coast path. Staff very welcoming. We took our dog and he was welcomed with a separate eating area next to the restaurant so he could stay with us for dinner and breakfast. Breakfast was an excellent buffet with plenty of choice. Bar and outside sitting areas with lovely views to the sea and all dog friendly. Highly recommend. "

"Overall a good stay. Spoilt a little as we stayed previously and didn't have to pay for the pool etc. This time however we did as we booked through Expedia, although we tried to book direct there was no room availability. I think it should be as it says on the best western website,if your a resident then it's all included."

"We were upgraded, on arrival, to a family room with a sea view. The room and the view were excellent. Will definitely return"

"It was a great location to stay for walking back and forwards to visit Poole Hospital. Only negative I have is that it would have been good to have had a small fridge in the room. But everything else great thanks"

"You can't beat the location of Sandbanks hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. I would not go into the swimming pool again as I found it very difficult to get in and out via the awful metal steps. As most of the guests were elderly I doubt if any of them would use the pool. The Haven pool is much safer with wide steps."

"The location is superb sited high above Swanage Bay with views west to the Isle of White"

"Just back from a 2 night stay over the bank Holiday in superior sea view room. Views were simply outstanding. Room was large and recently refurbished with a good shower and a big bed. Lots of power sockets. Fresh clean blackout curtains. We walked down the beach to the Cabin for Pimms and snacks. Cabin is also owned by the hotel. Further down on the left is another cafe called Down the Beach which does breakfasts and drinks on the morning. We didnt use the plunge pool as much - retreated as it...

"Very pleasant stay and staff were more than friendly and helpful"

"Great hotel and great staff. Organized our family event superbly. Food excellent and service perfect."
