Amazing friendly staff and management, lovely comfy Lulworth room for 2 nights , fantastic meal in restaurant 1st night from excellent menu. Was recommended to try the roast on Sunday so instead of leaving for home we stayed a little longer and can highly recommend the Sunday roast and the best cauliflower cheese can't wait to return 😋

Central location, just behind an old pub. The bed was incredibly big and comfortable, which we absolutely loved!
No hand soap in the bathroom and décor is fairly simple.

Perfect location. Rooms self contained and comfortable. Staff friendly. Pub with lovely set up with pub garden. Free parking.
Bring a resident we were told we would get 10% off drinks and food. Nice touch . But in reality it never happened. We had to keep asking staff, after being charged full price constantly.
Slight slip up with room, room change required ( which was fine ) but promised free drinks for the inconvenience caused .
Never materialised ! Staff unaware.
Staff really lovely and friendly but on this occasion due to the lack of communication between them
, we felt a little disappointed with treatment.

Great location and room space. Everything was thought of and we were encouraged to ask if we needed anything else. Discount offered in the bar/restaurant and also discount at a fab cafe for breakfast. Parking was included which is a huge added bonus. Menu had amazing choices (especially if you are a fan of traditional Turkish meat). Definitely a ‘must visit pub’ if you are partial to cider.
Bathroom is a little tired, but it was clean and perfect working order.

Breakfast was not included. The location was superb though & we had plenty of options to eat nearby
Photos of the room were not of the room we booked so upon arrival we were disappointed because it was not what we thought we’d booked. It supposedly slept 4 people but our 2 children had to share a sofa bed & it was not really adequate or comfortable for 13 & 14 year old children.

Lovely spacious room tucked away from the High St. Comfortable beds. Fab staff. We were greeted by the lovely Zoe and given a great hint as to where to get the best views for the Red Arrow display at the Swanage Carnival from one of the bar managers. Thank you!
Can’t think of anything.

Loved the room and convenient location.
Disappointed that over our 3 night stay we had to ask teabags one day and milk the next. Very surprised that our tea cups were not washed. / replaced over the 3 night stay.

The bed was small but comfortable, and the shower was good. The owner was welcoming.
The room wasn't the one shown in the photo above in this review. The room was extremely small and would have been OK for one night only. The room smelt of damp, and the smell didn't go away. A fridge was advertised, but there was no fridge in the room. There was no window that could be opened. The kettle had no filter, so the scale from the water was in your drink. There was no bedside lamp - only a very bright overhead light. Basically, it was not a comfortable to stay and I left a day early.
