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.

5.0 / 10.0

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.

We had a wonderful stay at the Purbeck Hotel, Our room (16) was huge, clean, comfortable and had great views over the town and bay. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. We highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is a grand old place with a rich history connected to it, which the owner is more than happy to share with you. Good sized rooms, communal areas and bar. Free, secure carpark. Location short 5min walk to town. Have been before and will come again for sure 👍

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.

To spent our last night in Swanage we transferred from our B&B up to the Purbeck. Ideal location for walkers and location to town and beach . We liked having a lounge and bar for the evening . Bed was comfortable and bathroom standard. Loved looking around the old architecture and period interior detail , a very pleasant stay.

5.0 / 10.0

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.

8.0 / 10.0

The room was spacious and clean and all the staff that we encountered were courteous and helpful. The breakfast was okay, but not exceptional. Sadly the large grounds of the hotel were not as well maintained as we remember from a previous visit. We would consider staying again as the hotel was conveniently situated and had adequate parking.

4.0 / 10.0

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.

Lovely old hotel. Our room was spacious with a comfy 4-poster bed, really quiet and relaxing. Breakfast was a little disappointing buffet style setup.

Purbeck House is right in centre of Swanage and a great location for exploring the area. It is an old historic building that dominates the town. It has good views and interesting grounds.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved Purbeck House and were intrigued by its history and glad to see it embraced its history. We stayed in the annexe which met all our needs but if ever the opportunity to return would love to stay in the main hotel. We found all the staff to be very friendly and informative and felt they were fully invested in providing the guests with an enjoyable experience.

5.0 / 10.0

Great hotel and lovely service. Made us feel very welcome despite arriving late. The bar is well stocked and the hiatory behind the hotel is fascinating.

Price changed on areival and they automatically charged it to my credit card without asking. We made arrangements by phone which got lost. Complajnt was handled jn a rude way. We are not the first to ckmplajn about it being a room only rate its confusing. Breakfast food ran out multiple times whixh isnt good if paying a lot for it. Lively hotel but cant trust the family running it. We also had a power cut in lady lodge and an hour jn darkness.

10.0 / 10.0

The Victorian building was remarkable. The tiled flooring in the reception area and the row of servants' bells gave one a sense of stepping back in time. We were in a modern annex to the house, which was immaculate and comfortable. If there was a restaurant it would have been perfect, however there were restaurants close by, and the sea front was also just a short walk.

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

After marrying at the Purbeck Hotel, and having an amazing day, we ditched our normal motorhome accomodation to fast forward almost 26 years to the day to stay here again. It still has the same quirky charm, and John Burt'tastic stone mason salvages a-plenty, and gave us the peace and fantastic night's sleep we were craving. Married with amazing weather, convenience for town, a room looking out towards Swanage Bay, and beautiful sunrises, we had a lovely weekend 👍

6.0 / 10.0

I didn't like that we were charged for breakfast on the second day, (which we booked directly with the hotel , not on Expedia like the first day) when we didn't have it. Obviously the money was taken from our account before breakfast instead of waiting for the list to come from the dining room showing who had breakfast. Room and staff were lovely.

8.0 / 10.0

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

3.0 / 10.0

Rather tired hotel but central location. No restaurant for dinner. Breakfast only from 7:30 weekdays so not great if you need to get away and want a cooked breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful. Pillows as hard as concrete, not the best for a good nights sleep
