Reviews and Ratings
I had such a lovely stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and clean, and the service was exceptional. The location is just perfect, with beautiful surroundings, but there were a few drawbacks. Dining was delightful, and the facilities were great!
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were modern with well-built furniture and a comfortable bed, although there was no thermostat to control the temperature. The service was exceptional, providing a very pleasant experience, and pet amenities were available. The location, although separate from the main pub, was in a picturesque and attractive area. The dining experience was delightful with welcome sausages for our dog. Overall, a great choice for a stay.
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.
