Spent two nights with breakfast
It is decent place to spend a night or two. We booked this place for two nights. Our room is decent size and it was very cleaned. Breakfast was not that great, had very limited options and portions were average. However,their service was excellent.
Friendly staff and very helpful.
Clean interior and comfortable, spacious bed.
Amazing food, both dinner and breakfast.
Loved the choice of fish on the menu.
Great location for travelling in the Dorset and Somerset area.
Plenty of free parking, free and easy to use WiFi.
Had a great first day stay. All ok.
Sadly customer service after that was sadly lacking. I’d booked for two night originally. Finished meetings early and returned to the hotel to ask if I could cancel the last evening of my stay.
They refused. Said they’d be keeping my money. I don’t see this as fair as it was way before the time allotted.
Not helpful. As I had to leave and am out of pocket
On traditionally bleak winters day in south west Dorset this hotel was warm and welcoming, spacious and well presented rooms. Breakfast was well cooked and served promptly. A strong 9/10 because although you should never judge a book by the cover, this hotel lets it self down with it's exterior presentation
We stayed for girlie catch up and spa. The Spa treatments and facilities were amazing and staff lovely. The hotel is an ideal base for visiting Dorset but you do need a car. The hotel facilities are spotless and restaurant and food of a great quality. What sets this apart from other hotels is the staff. From front desk, to bar staff, restaurant staff and housekeeping this is customer service at it’s best. Will do anything to help if you ask, will advise on services and places to see and all with a smile. So friendly and interactive it made you feel so welcome. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic weekend stay. Felt like staying with friends. Food was lovely and good value. Nothing was too much trouble for the friendly and welcoming staff. We were treated so well and felt completely relaxed and refreshed when we left.
