Value for money isn’t great. The rooms were tired and outdated. No view from our room window and no air conditioning so the room becomes an expensive sweat box. They could well do with putting some money back into this hotel as overall it looks tired. The breakfast was okish. Nothing special that you wouldn’t get from a Premier Inn. The views once in the lounge are lovely so I guess this is what you’re paying for. Overall I give it an average score because there was nothing special which for the price was disappointing. Spend some of the profits on the building and it may improve the score.

It’s a lovely art deco style hotel in a great location. Lovely and light and airy with high ceilings and wide stairways and corridors. Access to a sandy beach and views to Knoll beach and Shell Bay on Purbeck. Right next to the chain ferry which is brilliant and gives you quick easy access to the above and Studland. We had a lovely room but it was on the third floor with no lift access to the third floor and a really long walk to get to it. It was also very hot with no air con. I had to ask for a fan and lighter bedding, which was delivered to the room. The staff were lovely and really helpful. Would recommend a stay here.

It aaa over priced. The room was tiny, nes waa reasonably comfortable but the pillows were so flat and pointless. They needed changing. They were old. There was a constant smell of food/ cooking in the morning. The breakfast was basic. The bathroom was very basic. The shower was dribbling out water. It was generally a very uncomfortable stay
