"Unbelievably cheap stay. Lovely en suite room with sea view. Staff very friendly and helpful. My first stay in a YHA in nearly 30 years and experience was so good I’m looking to come again. Only gripe would be internet signal in rooms a bit poor "

"After marrying at the Purbeck Hotel, and having an amazing day, we ditched our normal motorhome accomodation to fast forward almost 26 years to the day to stay here again. It still has the same quirky charm, and John Burt'tastic stone mason salvages a-plenty, and gave us the peace and fantastic night's sleep we were craving. Married with amazing weather, convenience for town, a room looking out towards Swanage Bay, and beautiful sunrises, we had a lovely weekend 👍"
"The property location was well positioned for shops and pubs, beach was only a short walk.
The hosts Bill and Michelle were very welcoming and most helpful, with knowledge of surrounding area's. The B&B was very clean with lovely rooms. The breakfast was great with plenty of choice."

"This property has a lovely style and is well equipped. Sitting on the balcony with the beautiful sea views was a highlight. The location was a absolutely ideal, being only a 5minute walk into town and to the beach. We had a fantastic stay in this lovely property. Would definitely book again. "

"Communication with Julia was both prompt and friendly before our visit. The Dolphins is a great home by sea and worked perfectly for us as a multi generational family holiday. There was everything we needed. Garden amazing! Beds comfy, lots of toys and games, very clean and lots of little extras you don’t often find in rented holiday homes. Thanks Julia. We would love to explore the area more so could well be back in the future."
