10/10 Exceptional

Atmospheric old building, welcoming and friendly staff, characterful grounds.
Stewart, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Continental Breakfast was OK. Room in Louisa Lodge that was very quiet. But it was a short walk away up a slope (sometimes in the rain). Staff very friendly.
Robert, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were helpful and friendly. The room we stayed in was fine, with a nice view of the sea. The hotel being situated right in the town was just right for us.
Laurence, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's a very peaceful location and a beautiful building with relaxing grounds. Comfy bed, friendly staff, close to seaside.
Rach, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A wonderful place to stay! We have stayed before when cooked breakfast was available but our out of season stay this time saw a continental breakfast only. Excellent new coffee/drinks machine. Previously we have always stayed in the main building but this time we opted for Louisa lodge. This surpassed our expectations. We will be back.
Brian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice clean, comfortable stay. 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.

Probably the best hotel in town and an interesting building. 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.

Great historic building, in centre of town and very close to beach, coast path and railway station. A little tired in places, plenty of parking. Enjoyable stay.
Stephen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice and comfortable room, with lovely gardens and views. The buffet breakfast was excellent, and the staff most friendly and helpful. Very convenient off-street parking. Would certainly stay again.
Graham, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very pleasant and comfortable. Spacious rooms in a large old stone-walled mansion very near the centre of Swanage and not far from the sea. Friendly and helpful staff. Large garden and ample parking.
Stephen, 2-night trip

We had a lovely stay at the hotel. We had a great chat with the night manager, he was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely stay again.

Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

All very nice although I think the property would benefit from a swimming pool ie built in the grounds where the old greenhouse is located
Paul, 5-night trip

Lovely stay, perfect for our holiday to Swanage. The hotel was a very nice building, with lots of fascination with a lovely garden. The staff were all very pleasant, as was our room and breakfast. A perfect stay, thank you.
