Had a lovely stay here. Staff were all very friendly and this is a lovely pub with a beautiful log burner. The breakfast was excellent, as was the food we had one evening when we dined here. Will definitely be back (hopefully when there's nicer weather) :)

Lovely place to stay. Staff were great. Room was spacious and clean just a little too warm for me even with the radiators turned off. We ate here too and the food was delicious especially the fish burger!

Great staff, food first day was very good, great location for castle and reasonable prices. Good selection behind bar. A bit tired looking, and facilities need an upgrade. New owners in place since end of August, so I’m sure improvements will be made. Would still stay again if in the area

The hotel is beautiful with lovely views. The room was also very pretty and my daughter loved that she had an adjoining room with a separate door. The food in the restaurant was also very good but took time to bring condiments. The mattress on the double bed was really thin and not the comfiest but the single bed was super comfy. As the room was hot we opened the window slightly but this did mean we got a lot of traffic noise and the sound of the church bell on the hour every hour. Regardless, I would recommend this as a lovely place to stay.

4.0 / 10.0

The room was very hot. There was no fan or AC. The room was on the front of hotel and there was a busy road outside which was noisy and so it wasn't an option to open the windows. However the food was very good.

6.0 / 10.0

First impressions were good. It's an old property in a unique location. The property has only just changed hands and I appreciate that there's always loads of stuff to sort out.. BUT.. we did not have any hot water or shower on the first day ( it was a very hot day too) I think the new owner was just a little bit stressed. The rooms are a bit tired but I'm sure they'll sort this, Comfy bed. Breakfast was good but we would have appreciated some more choice and fresh fruit. Good coffee though. Friendly staff too.

4.0 / 10.0

The room itself was clean and spacious but the floor was very much on a slope. Staff were really helpful making sure we could have breakfast at 7:30 as advertised on Hotels.com as this is earlier than the actual website for the Hotel. A couple of issues though with some of the features. The show was hanging off the wall and I had to connect it back up to its fixings. Towels were on the small side, bath towels not bath sheets and the location of the mirror, the only one was in the bathroom a significant distance away from the nearest plug socket so the only way I could judge how drying my hair was after washing was using the reflection in the TV screen. Another mirror needs to be provided on the chest of drawers and close to a socket.

Excellent 2 night stay. For a grade 2 listed building the room was very clean, comfortable and quiet. The staff were very friendly and food was excellent.

Perfect location and staff very friendly and helpful. Room a bit tired looking and no working fan on a hot day. Werent informed about lack of hot water and only realised after having a cold shower. Advised we had arrived at 10.30 but room was still not available when we returned at 5.30.

Vegetarian breakfast was brilliant! But equipment in room didn’t work well! WiFi didn’t work on 2nd floor where we were. Kettle kept turning on and off on its own! Great views from our 2nd floor room! Easy parking.

We stayed at Bankes Arms Hotel in Corfe near Bournemouth for three nights. The room was very basic. The table next to the bed didn’t have a flat surface which was not noticeable until I placed a cup of hot coffee on the table which spilt everywhere. The flimsy curtains let in too much light every morning. The bathroom was disgusting - a broken dish held toiletries for our use. The towel rail fell off the wall on first use! The finish was rough to say the least! The table next to the bed badly needed a paint job, both headboards were loose and we had to put pillows between the headboard and the wall to stop them rattling. We stayed there for the convenience of being near Corfe castle and surrounding area which had a lot to offer. And to top it all when water started coming through the ceiling in the breakfast room this morning, the owner/manager casually placed ice buckets on the floor to catch the dripping water! Corfe is a fabulous place to visit but avoid Bankes Arms Hotel at all costs! For what we paid for 3 nights was totally outrageous. It’s day light robbery! Avoid it like the plague.

This place has excellent friendly staff, the food is very good allbeit a limited menu if you are looking for something healthy! The room was large clean and comfortable, the only criticism was the tired looking shower room, where a lick of paint on yhe walls would clean it up and removecthe mould around the outside of the shower tray, just a replacement of silicone would change everything in that room. But overall a lovely place in an excellent location and will be vising again

I was aware there was at least a 50% chance of a room overlooking the main road (Wareham to Swanage). But sadly I was also overlooking the sharp corner. Meaning HGVs and Chiller units were directly under my window. The key could not be found that night for my room. However when shown to it, the door was open. I didn’t question the lack of key. I asked for a fan as it was very humid. No one ever came back to me. There was a dubious stain in the toilet (not cleaned properly). My bed was on a metal frame. It creaked with every movement. Thankfully I did not take my boyfriend. The noise would have been horrendous. It creaked with each time I moved a little. Due to the heat I kept the windows open. So then I had the church clock every hour on the hour ringing in each hour. I chose the hotel for closeness to a sporting event. It sufficed. Next day I was chased as the staff thought I’d ’accidentally’ taken the key. The key I never had.

Wonderful character hotel with central location and the really welcoming staff. Breakfast was just wonderful. Sadly the only downside was that we didn’t sleep as located right on the main through road, church clock chimes hourly, noisy pelican crossing right outside the windows and early deliveries - but none of this can be helped.

Stayed with my friend for a girly night away. Perfect spot for an overnight break. Close to both Swanage and Studland and also Wareham. The Castle is worth a visit and at the same he right time of year, step on the steam train. Very hospitable staff, great twin room overlooking the square.
