Easy to find, excellent parking facilities, and probably the most spacious breakfast area we've ever seen. Comfortable, quiet, and warm room - what more could you want? ##### Barry Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shaun Oct 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great looking property, the staff were great and very friendly. ![Great](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a03ea337-4fc2-460c-8a3f-33c2342cbc7a-1760026946640.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Shaun Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stewart Oct 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Atmospheric old building, welcoming and friendly staff, characterful grounds. ##### Stewart Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda Oct 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Room very clean and comfortable ##### Linda Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Oct 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hotel is a grand old place with a rich history connected to it, which the owner is more than happy to share with you. Good sized rooms, communal areas and bar. Free, secure carpark. Location short 5min walk to town.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Only criticism was breakfast started at 0730 which is maybe why I was unable to book it online and had to do so at the hotel, but as I was working in the area it was a rush getting away in the morning! I would book again if in the area. ##### Stuart Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Raymond Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Parking good, room comfortable.

Good accommodation, free parking and well located. We stayed in room 10 - possibly the largest room and were very pleased with our one night stay as part of a week long tour. ##### DAVID F Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities To spent our last night in Swanage we transferred from our B&B up to the Purbeck. Ideal location for walkers and location to town and beach . We liked having a lounge and bar for the evening . Bed was comfortable and bathroom standard. Loved looking around the old architecture and period interior detail , a very pleasant stay. ##### Janet Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ralph Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Helpful friendly staff ##### Ralph Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen Sep 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely old hotel.
