Red Lion

Red Lion

8/10 Good
"Hinge on loo seat broken causing it to move around when sat on; Stains on bath towel; No power socket or lighting near mirror. Furniture/decor mismatched but pleasant enough and functional. Bed and bedding very clean and comfortable! Staff very friendly and helpful 🙂 Nice pub with paved beer garden prettily lit at night with plenty of seating. Food portions very generous and food is delicious! 😋"

Grand Hotel Swanage

8/10 Good
"The receptionist was lovely and we felt very welcomed and informed on arrival. We stayed in a superior room with sea view, the room was clean but could do with a few extras to make it feel more comfortable. For example a headboard for the bed, a higher table for the chairs so that you could eat at and a small fridge would have been useful. Overall, we had a lovely stay, brilliant sea views, location was lovely and a short walk along the sea to the town and we would return!"
