"This is a very friendly and well-managed hotel with spacious rooms and good service. The location on top of the cliffs above Swanage Bay gives fabulous views both from sea-facing rooms and the well-maintained grass terrace. Steps lead down directly to the sandy beach."
"Great location for beach and harbour. Hyacinth (owner of hotel) and husband were really friendly and welcoming. Full English breakfast was good and recommended. "

"Good Hotel great location for the beach with Restaurants close by. Poor is excellent 25 metres in length. Room very comfortable with a sea view too. "
"Although the rooms need updating, we very much enjoyed our stay at the trouville.
Breakfast was of good quality, the staff , fast and efficient.
Helpful reception staff.
The pool and sauna a pleasant suprise."
"Parking is a nightmare all year around.
The hotel staff are lovely. The hotel is slowly being modernised. We decided to stay an extra night and was able to experience an updated and quieter room which was lovely
Both rooms were clean and tidy. "
"Wonderful Family Stay – Highly Recommend!
We had a fantastic two-night family break at the Cumberland Hotel. We booked a family room with a king-size bed and bunk beds, and used Tesco Clubcard points which was a great bonus.
We arrived just before check-in, easily found parking, and were warmly welcomed. Although our room wasn’t quite ready, we were invited to use the outdoor pool – a real treat on a sunny day! The pool was clean, well-staffed, and perfect for families.
Huge thanks to Ali and Sophia, who looked after us for the whole trip with big smiles and great service.
Our sea-view family room was spacious, spotless, and freshly decorated. The view from the balcony was stunning, and the in-room fridge was a brilliant touch for families. The bathroom was modern, though the shower pressure could be improved.
Breakfast was another highlight. The buffet was hot, fresh, and constantly topped up. Franck, (age 82 was a gem) who served us, was an absolute star – even warming pancakes for our girls!
The Friday night fireworks was amazing!
A great bonus: guests can use facilities at other Oceana hotels. We enjoyed both outdoor pools and even used the indoor pool next door.
Classic, friendly service like this is rare – every member of staff was lovely, a real credit to the team. We had a brilliant holiday and can’t wait to return!
