We were given a warm welcome from friendly, helpful staff, our rooms were nicely furnished and the gardens are well kept and pretty - we enjoyed sitting looking at the flowers over a pot of tea. The indoor pool looked inviting but we arrived here unexpectedly after a disappointing pre-booked hotel so didn't have swimming costumes etc with us. Good... More

They call themselves "Dog Friendly" on their website so we booked it for the weekend on arrival the receptionist advised us that they are only allowed in the bedroom not in the gardens or anywhere else not even the bar area. How ridiculous we had to walk through the bar to get to the stairs to get to our room... More

I really like this place. If you are familiar with the works of Colin Watson you will know why I think of it as the Flora Dora. There is a provincial charm about it, an air of aiming high and slightly missing. A sort of 'Not posh enough for London, too posh for round here'. If you want internet in... More

Visited with group of cyclists 18 months ago and really good value and top notch service. This time I visited with the family for 3 nights (family room). Just as good as before with excellent service and friendlyness from all the staff. My children loved it especially the swimming pool, Jacuzzi and steam room.....planning a return visit next year :)

Hmmmm what to say ..... Two positives, friendly staff and lovely gardens! Cooked breakfast was average and for the sake of a few saved pennies by not serving fresh pastries, the overall feeling of being truly ripped off was sealed!! The rest can be summed up as very dated and shabby in places ( wall paper peeling off wall in... More

Stayed here on a Saturday night over the bank holiday weekend as everywhere in Swanage was fully booked. Tried to charge us £120 per room but we managed to get this down to £110 as we had two rooms. Décor was very dated and carpets and curtains were both patterned and didn't match. The reception area staff were very friendly... More

I have just held my wedding reception at this hotel on the 18th may 2013 and we loved every minute! The grounds are gourgeous so have some amazing photos, the hotel is in a lovely location and easy to get to! The staff are so friendly and really couldn't have done more for us in the lead up to the... More

We stayed here for a wedding nearby, had a family suite. One room had an average double (which I find a bit small for two), the other had 2 twin beds and was very cramped - only one bed had a side table, no reading lamp for either bed, only wardrobe was in main bedroom. No tub, just a shower.... More

Loved this hotel, we had a great time. My family (2kids, husband) stayed at the Springfield and we loved it. Ideally located to all beaches, sites etc.. The staff were extremely helpful right from entry in and they never failed to keep us happy, nothing was too much to ask. The room was great, standard family suite, perfect for our... More
