Top Swanage Hotel Reviews

Purbeck House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We booked the hotel as a last minute stay and was not disappointed, the staff were friendly, room was ideal and even though breakfast was continental it was sufficient. Parking was an added bonus."

Carrington House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, pool is a bonus and the games room. Staff are lovely and helpful. Down fall is the family rooms are a maze to get too, no AC and the fans they have are terrible. It’s dated and old but great atmosphere close to the beach and a budget hotel. You get what you pay for. We have a great time!"

Royal Bath Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel was kept well as a historic building. The bath room was clean and recently refurbished. However, bathtub access need to improve for the safety. It was very slippery and no handle to hold. The location to/from beach was excellent and to/from station was easy by a taxi."

Hilton Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic family stay! Highly recommend.We stayed as a family of four and were incredibly impressed by the entire hotel. Our room was both spotlessly clean and very spacious, giving us plenty of comfort. The swimming pool facilities are excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed using the sauna and steam room. The staff are very friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. We will definitely be back!"

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."
