Great place for lunch or a stop off for a drink and cake... definitely recommend the Dirsrt Draught cider and the Dorset apple cake, warmed with ice cream
We were recommended to try the breakfast at Bar 1875 by another restaurant owner. When we visited, we enjoyed our Full English breakfast outside in the sunshine with a view of Swanage. It was a lovely experience.
Located within the Purbeck Hotel, this restaurant's charm lies in its decor. The staff here are versatile, seamlessly shifting between roles at the front desk and behind the bar as needed. The overall ambiance is one of tranquility and coziness, providing a refreshing escape from the constant buzz of television and slot machines.
Friendly traditional Hotel bar. Prices were very good, much the same as the local pubs. Free nibbles provided at the bar and easy access as my father is a wheelchair user. Thoroughly enjoyed his 90th birthday
The bar staff and bar come highly recommended, with interesting historical significance. While prices are on the higher side, this is to be expected in a hotel setting. Swanage can be a bit pricey in general.
