About this property
Stunning sea views are offered at this cliff-top hotel overlooking Swanage Bay. With private steps down to the sandy beach below, The Pines provides free parking and full English breakfasts. Light and traditionally furnished, every room at The Pines Hotel has a flat-screen TV and free tea and coffee. A private bathroom is featured in each room, while some boast balconies overlooking the sea. All rooms are accessible by lift apart from the ground floor rooms that are accessible by 3 steps. Please be aware that there are steps intermittently across some of our corridors so please contact us directly before booking if you have any particular requirements. The restaurant looks out over the Isle of Wight and Swanage Bay, and uses fresh produce in its menu, with a range of local specialities. The hotel is located at the eastern end of the 95-mile long UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Jurassic Coast. Swanage’s centre is a 5-minute drive away, and Corfe Castle is 15 minutes away by car. Whilst we do welcome dogs to stay in some of our bedrooms, they are not permitted in our 'superior' or 'deluxe' bedrooms. You must inform us at the time of booking if you would like to bring your dog but be aware that restrictions and charges apply.
