I had a delightful stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy with nice soft furnishings but lacked a thermostat to control the temperature on the tea tray. The service was top-notch, with a very pleasant staff that provided exceptional service. The location, though in a picturesque area away from the main pub, was perfect for exploring the nearby urban coffee shops and enjoying dog walks on Dorset's wonderful beaches. The dining experience offered the best sausages I've had in years but the bread was cheaply sourced. Overall, a fantastic stay with just a few minor downsides.
