It is very local to Swanage centre, with sand beach, restaurants, and independent shops nearby. The hotel has a hilly location, with tarmac roads and pavements, but it can be challenging for those with mobility issues.
Rooms and Amenities
The rooms are modern, tasteful, and clean, with lovely sea views. Amenities include walk-in showers, toilets, flat-screen TVs, free WiFi, ironing boards, fans, hairdryers, kettles, and phones. The rooms are quiet, with plenty of hangers for clothes and wall plugs.
Food and Drinks
The hotel offers a breakfast buffet with a variety of options, including apple and orange juice, water, teas, coffee, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereals, and pastries. However, some guests were disappointed with the cooked breakfast, finding the poached eggs rubbery and the mushrooms tasting like tinned mushrooms.
