Relaxed rustic charm. 3 nice lounges & log fire, games room, sauna, steam room, plunge pool, jacuzzi, outdoor pool in summer, 2 tennis courts, large breakfast. Excellent location for the beach & exploring National Park with stunning Poole harbour views.
Generally the hotel would benefit from finishing touches like repairing planters, filling plant pots, bath v small, weeding tennis court edges, better table tennis bats, etc.
Hotel needs to answer the phone for queries.
Recommend rooms in main house with terrace balcony by driveway for full sun! Would revisit.
The Riviera Hotel has a peaceful location, looking out over the trees of Alum Chine to the bay. With free Wi-Fi and free parking, leisure facilities include a hot tub and indoor pool.

All was excellent. The entire family loved it.
You get what you expect at that type and level of hotel + fantastic staff + great view + indoor pool. It was great.
Stunning sea views are offered at this cliff-top hotel overlooking Swanage Bay. With private steps down to the sandy beach below, The Pines provides free parking and full English breakfasts.

The proximity to the beach and the convenient access from the pool area were particularly appealing aspects of the property. Additionally, the hot tub and Sona were my favorite amenities.
Just 10 minutes’ walk from Bournemouth’s award-winning beaches, The Kensington Hotel offers bright, traditionally furnished rooms with private bathrooms.

Nestled in extensive gardens in the center of Swanage, Purbeck House Hotel & Louisa Lodge is a 5-minute walk from the beach.

A great place for walking (with or without a dog/s ), excellent beach for children of all ages up to 85+, great pub for lunch/ dinner.
Only a short car journey or a longish walk to Swanage and Corfe.
A beautiful part of the country

Pluses - It's well placed with plenty of free on site parking and a pleasant, easy drive through country lanes to Corfe or Swanage. It's easy to find and quiet. Breakfast was excellent. I picked it because an evening meal would be available and we've been caught out elsewhere before with everything booked up. The weather meant that eating in looked the best option but it was pricey and we should have looked at the small print re service charges and just the general costs of things as the bill was an 'ouch'. We weren't the only ones in the checking out queue with that sentiment. I'd definitely consider staying again but would eat out elsewhere in the evening and on that basis, other places that don't offer a restaurant will look competitive now.

Excellent location for the National Trust beach.
Excellent location for the National Trust beach. Short drive to Swanage, Corfe Castle and the ferry to Poole and Bournemouth.
Excellent countryside location.
We ate in the hotel as there's nothing in the vacinity that doesn't need a car journey.

Studland is a beautiful village and I would like to return to explore more of the area. We ate at The Pig hotel in Studland which was very nice but a little overpriced for what we had. We went to Shell Bay restaurant which is right by the Ferry at Studland and the food and service was exceptional and very good value. It is a seafood restaurant and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are a fish lover.

We enjoyed walking along Knoll Beach and using the excellent cafe there. The minor road was surprisingly busy, but then we realised there was a ferry at the end of the road! Take care when crossing the road to the beach. There is good bird watching a short drive away at RSPB Arne.
