環境優美 不錯

We asked for a got a room away from the front as stayed last year the same time but found room very hot and noisy from traffic consistently going past. Shown to our room by Wendy the day manager who seemed to be a jack of all trades as also served as breakfast lady. Our room -The Gloriette - seemed acceptable on first impressions but as we settled in, not so good. The whole room needed a through deep clean. Windows had black mould round them, the glass table topper under TV was thick with dust. Curtain rails were totally rusty making curtains dirty. Bed had a strange foam topper on mattress with just a bottom sheet thrown over it which did not reach the sides. Pillows needed throwing out years ago as totally flat and a horrible yellow colour inside pillow cases. Very dubious about getting into the bed although bedding seemed clean. Nether of us slept well the whole 4 nights. The 2 upright chairs in bedroom needed throwing out as well as both so uncomfortable to sit on as both seat pads had sunk and one was totally ripped. Bathroom fittings clean but shower head came off as soon as water turned on, and long black hairs on controls. Toilet brush had no handle on and nor did the inside of the shower cubicle. Extractor fan thick with dust as was the small swivel mirror on bathroom table. Bathroom door had black marks around handle. Holes in wall from previous fittings and just grubby looking all around. To be fair we told Wendy about the shower head and it was replaced by another and also the toilet brush was replaced as rooms refreshed every day. The saving grace was the breakfast which was very nice and very generous helpings. The location could not be faulted. But we will not return as bedrooms need a lot of money spent to bring up to todays standards. Hate writing such a negative review but maybe by reading this, management will consider spending money on upgrading the rooms - badly needed. A pity.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at the Bankes arms. the staff are friendly and welcoming .the food and service were very good. the pub is a lovely old building in a very picturesque village with Corfe castle and the Swanage railway right on the doorstep. The Purbeck room however i did have a few issues with, although nice and clean there is a step between the bed and the bathroom (and the window seat) there should be some kind of warning on these as people could easily trip over in the dark. the shower needs a shelf in it for the guests to put their toiletries on so that they don't have to bend down for them when showering and a rubber shower mat would also be a good idea and proper sized bath towels would be good. the main bed room needs a mirror near a plug socket so guests have somewhere practical to dry their hair with a hair dryer. Room keys could benefit from a coloured fob on them to distinguish it from the front door key these are observations not criticism's. Over all we had a great stay and will visit again

£14 for a ham sandwich and a Peroni….bit steep. Asked for a ham sandwich which seemed to cause some concern as it normally comes with cheese apparently. No, take the cheese off please, I said. Ok. The sandwich arrived with cheese and a small piece of ham hiding below. A smattering of crisps and something formerly salad on the side. But £14….really? I’m local so I know the ropes, tourist area, cost of living etc, but…well, ok, shan’t bother you again.

Lovely welcome in the hotel , room comfortable and clean. Breakfast was ordered the night before from a menu and was delicious. However I’d have rather ordered in the morning as might have chosen a different option. However very charming and friendly pub . Whole village was so charming and full of character
