Family friendly Hotels in Swanage, England

"We have stayed many times at the Durley Dean Hotel as we know exactly where we are in relation to the beach, buses and restaurants. All of which are in close walking distance. The steam room is excellent and there is also a sauna and small indoor pool. Spa facilities are available. The decor is a bit tired but we are not too concerned about that as we are out most of the day. The food in the restaurant is very good and the staff are very friendly. "

"Great facilities. Big pool. Clean. Kind. A lot parking! Great location 👌 "

"Unfortunately the hotel car park was full on arrival, so had to pay £21 to park on the road. One of my wing mirror's ( adjacent to the pavement) was deliberately smashed overnight. I did manage to park in the hotel car park on Saturday, however I will not risk coming back to the hotel again. The incident spoilt the weekend. "

"We enjoyed a nice few days in this peaceful hotel which had everything we needed. We particularly chose this hotel for its close proximity to the chair lift down the cliff to the beach ,giving a flat walkway along the beach and then back up using the lift.. Due to a landslip this lift was out of action which severely curtailed our access to the main part of Bournemouth. Due to mobility issues it was necessary to take a taxi to and from the hotel. Sadly this means we would not book this hotel again."

"Very busy. Rooms to hot and loud music in the bar. Ok for the price and the staff are great "

"Decent hotel, nice breakfast. Parking is expensive, as at all hotels in Bournemouth."

"Place was great, but dated but that is part of the charm in Bournemouth and a seaside resort"

"Very nice and comfortable room, with lovely gardens and views. The buffet breakfast was excellent, and the staff most friendly and helpful. Very convenient off-street parking. Would certainly stay again. "

"Air conditioning is amazing beds very comfortable but had to check out on the 2nd night at 11pm due to the noise level from a function on & we were right above it! So really spoiled it, no rooms to change was offered! Not good when you have an autistic child with you and had to drive home which was a 3hour drive! "
