“Excellent Holiday”

Oct 16, 2025Jk K

Visited the Southern Palms hotel at the end of September, we had a brilliant holiday and are already looking to return to the hotel. We arrived at 12:30 and were shown to our room straight away which was great after a long flight. We had a Pool View room and although a bit basic it was very clean with a great bed and even better view from the Balcony. The pool area is very nice and relaxing, the only thing to comment on is people reserving loungers and then not using them for large parts of the day, a common problem not unique to this hotel but people really do treat those loungers as their own property and reserve them from 5am etc, ridiculous. Food and drinks in the restaurant were excellent and really good value, the staff also where very good and friendly. The hotel is the best situated in the gap, right on the best beach which is on your doorstep but also convenient for the local bars and restaurants. Already looking to return in 2027.

I recently stayed at Southern Palms for 2 nights with my friend who was celebrating her birthday and we both had such a great time. From check in to check out was a great service. The room was clean on arrival. The only issue was the shower - when turned on it makes a constant ringing noise but it wasn’t too overbearing. We had breakfast included in our stay and the service in the restaurant was so good. There was a set menu for our breakfast-included stay, not a huge variety but still good. With that said, the restaurant staff were very accommodating to me. I don’t eat eggs and I was able to substitute that with something else and I really appreciated that. Service by the pool area by KEN was the best. He was very engaging and made sure me and my friend were all set for the day. He found us 2 pool chairs to use for the day and made sure we were comfortable. If you’re the type who likes to sit by the pool, I suggest waking up early and reserving the chairs. They’re all gone by 9am or so. He also set up lunch for us on the beach which was also very nice. The service was great and all the staff were amazing. I can’t remember everyone’s names but I must give a special thank you to Ken at the pool, Kelly(?) I think lol she’s the manager or supervisor by the restaurant, Shirley and Coreen who were our waitresses at breakfast and dinner and Jenni at the front desk. I highly recommend Southern Palms for your vacation/staycation. I look forward to returning here again!

The trains run from Swanage to Norden, stopping at Corfe Castle on route, takes 17 min's to Corfe Castle. I did this as part of a group visiting Swanage. All the staff very smart in their uniforms. It was strange being back in the old carriages, l remember them well. The train left on time, quite a short journey. Alighting at Corfe Castle we walked up through the little town to the castle and visited the model village and tea shop. It is not very large and steps a bit uneven, but l managed to get around it easily, followed by a cuppa. You can walk up to the castle, but the ground uneven, so didn't attempt it. As it's NT, you pay if not a member. Coming back l needed to be on the other side of the track, not able to do stairs very well, the staff took me across the line, to board the rain back to Swanage. Well worth a visit.
