Top Swanage Hotel Reviews

Laguna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second time back at the laguna and we will be back again next year. The hotel is clean and tidy and our son loves the pool and games room which is a great addition for a hotel which is very reasonably priced. The location is great and near the town centre, with the beach and pier only a short walk away. The hotel has everything for a great family stay who want to go out and explore. The staff are always so kind and helpful too and I don’t have anything negative to say about the Laguna."

The Knoll House

8/10 Good

"Great location and excellent room and breakfast Given the amazing weather we had no need for the pool but don’t think its right to charge for using it"

Bournemouth East Cliff by Belvilla

8/10 Good

"The staff were very friendly and helpful. Meals were excellent in the sister hotel. Hotel looking tired especially from the outside but would stay again."

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"Amazing seaviews with beach access."

THE NICI Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely outstanding from start to finish, thank you for the most amazing stay. We will be returning very soon."

Purbeck House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had two rooms in the main house on the top floor. We did not see the inside of the lodges. Experia had a good late offer on a Deluxe Superior Room (which the hotel itself wouldn’t price match) which worked out the same price as a standard sea view room that we had booked through the hotel directly. The rooms were a good size and standard (especially the Superior). The bathrooms in both rooms were a bit tired and perhaps most disappointing was the bath tap mixer shower which just provided a trickle in the standard room. The building is impressive from the outside and interesting on the inside. We liked the period features inside the hotel which included rows of old servants bells and various staircases (but no lift). The lounges, bar and outside seating area were also pleasant with period features but seemed to be hardly used by the guests which was surprising during peak August time. The gardens were well maintained. Breakfast in the conservatory was also pleasant and had all the basics available (cereals, croissants, various breads, coffee machine, but there was no cooked option and most fruits were tinned (grapefruit, raspberries etc). The staff were all friendly and helpful. This is a great place to stay if you prefer somewhere that is interesting with some history rather than a typical hotel room and if you don’t mind a few creaks and old fashioned plumbing."

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing pool, very clean and spacious family room"

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"Perfect location, staff really helped and friendly, loved the outside dining patio area and oool was lovely and warm."

Fairhaven Hotel

"Lovely room with a fan on when we arrived, which was great given the heat. Friendly, helpful staff and the food in the pub was good too."
