10/10 Exceptional

It a beautiful historic beach front hotel. The aura of the history was everywhere. The front desk people were very sweet. The glass terrace facing the beach was an exquisite place to sit. The green lawn at the front was very peaceful place. The breakfast I did not like so much, but there were plenty of other options around

Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful 3 day stay at the Grand. We booked the lowest cost room which was compact but comfortable. We had a great view over the sea. Staff were helpful and food was great. We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub, and its possible to walk to the beach for a plunge. Its a pleasant 10 minute walk to the town centre.
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We found the staff outstanding at this historic property with a breathtaking water view! The hot tub and sauna were a welcome treat after a day of hiking. Parking was not a problem but there is limited space in the parking lot. The neighborhood was quiet for a relaxing break, with the town centre close at hand if you want to stroll along the waterfront.
Susan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Mixed reaction

Hotel is very well positioned, overlooking the bay at Swanage and the quiet end of the town. It has been well refurbished so the bedroom was clean and comfortable and the bathroom modern and functional. We were given a card key to let us in after reception closed, but ours didn't work we were lucky other guests were in the bar and got help. The car parking is difficult so prepare to leave your car on the road. The restaurant wasn't open Saturday night but no one advised us to book for Sunday night and it was full! Very disappointing as to walk to town is 20 minutes away. The guy behind the bar was the most unfriendly person i can recall in a customer service role. The lady receptionist was friendly.
View from the bar/cafe area, across the bay.

The reception staff were excellent and our rooms lovely if a little hot. It was also quite difficult not having a lift because my father is blind.
Rachel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very enjoyable one night stay.

Friendly and informative reception. My comfortable sea view room had an excellent sea view and view of Swanage. Very good shower. I had time for a splash around in the pleasant little spa pool. Very good dinner with interesting choices. Not cheap, but very good quality, so still good value. good breakfast in the morning. I'd happily stay again another time.
