Cliff-top hotel on the Jurassic Coast with direct beach access
Location and Setting
The Pines Hotel is situated on the eastern end of the 95-mile Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The cliff-top garden provides direct access to the sandy beach via private steps, bypassing the town's main promenade. Historical landmarks such as Corfe Castle and Durlston Country Park are a short drive from the hotel.
Accommodations
Guest rooms range from compact single rooms to the spacious Purbeck Suite, which offers a super king-size bed and a large balcony with loungers. All rooms include a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and free tea and coffee, while sea-view rooms provide views of Swanage Bay and the Isle of Wight. The hotel also operates two separate holiday homes, named Old Harry and Old Harry's Wife, for guests preferring self-catering accommodation.
Dining
The refurbished restaurant offers sea views over Swanage Bay and the Isle of Wight, using fresh local produce for its menus. Chefs are experienced in catering to specific dietary requirements and serving groups, clubs, and societies. The hotel's afternoon tea is recognized as offering the best value in Swanage.
Amenities
The hotel provides ample free parking with two electric vehicle charging points available for guests. A full-service lounge and bar on the ground floor opens onto a terrace with sea views, and a separate garden offers a setting for relaxation. Dedicated meeting and banquet facilities are available for groups, clubs, and societies.
Pet-Friendly Stays
Dogs are permitted to stay in specific bedrooms, such as ground-floor rooms with direct garden access, but must be declared at the time of booking.
