Independent Purbeck District hotels

"Couldn't fault a thing. Friendly staff, lovely room, excellent breakfast! "

"Pet friendly at £20 per dog per night. Unfortunately don’t allow your dog in the bar, lounge nor restaurant so the charge feels a bit steep.. That aside, lovely staff, location and good breakfast."

"Lovey staff on Reception, beautiful setting and bar and lounge area very relaxing"

"We used the Red Lion as a base for a weekend break. The accommodation was very good and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We could park right outside the room (so easy to carry our luggage to the room). Main meals were excellent but no Breakfast, but then again you are five minutes from many cafes. Bar was good. We will go back there in the future."

"Nice character and quirky but very tired property. Room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was a trip back in time and whilst functional, it needs replacing. The main hotel was comfortable and very relaxed and extremely dog friendly, which suited many guests. The food and service was very good."

"Spacious property. Excellent bed lovely surroundings. Very comfortable stay. Lovely staff. Great breakfast. "

"Lovely old world charm pub with attentive staff and excellent food especially freshly prepared to order breakfast! Rooms are clean and functional - ideally located and easy access to Studland and Swanage! "

"Beautiful sea view room. The only downside to this hotel was that it has low water pressure in the shower and no drinking water in the room and had to go to the bar if you wanted any."

"Clean and spacious room, ample parking and great breakfast."
