quaint central stay

central locationreadily available parkingspacious double room
I found purbeck house well-situated for easy access to both the town centre and the seafront. parking proved readily available, something i always value in town centre hotels. i stayed in the lodge and my double room presented as spacious, clean and equipped with expected amenities. the breakfasts were very good. A range of options tasted fresh each morning.
The tv in my room did not function properly, even though i did not spend much time there! the showerhead could benefit from an improvement.

my wife and i had our wedding near here on april 20th 2024! the grounds were perfect for photos and the price was very reasonable. the bar staff in the evening were good fun! everything was organised in the background without us lifting a finger, from caterers to the dj.
The hotel has no elevator. You definitely get your steps in!
