Generally very nice upmarket pub type hotel. One day they didn’t make up the room which was annoying for the price but they fixed it quickly.

We had a lovely stay here and would return again. Staff were friendly, polite and attentive. There was a good selection for breakfast and all the meals we had during our stay was excellent. Our room was great, with a nice cosy theme. The bed was too firm for me and my partner, though that is down to personal preference and no fault of the hotel. The hotel is in a quiet location in lovely surroundings with plenty to do in the surrounding areas. Highly recommend staying here if you want to explore Dorset.

A hotel we look forward to revisiting

On arrival we were advised that Unfortunately the hot water system had failed with this information it was our decision to stay. The hotel management and staff could not have been more helpful. The weather played a major factor in our terminating our stay a day early Again the management were very understanding we will return as everyone has left a memorable impression.

Facade.

Like Poundbury itself - the fancy exterior is a facade for lack of attentive service, food errors, sub-par food (typical 'Brakes Bros. fayre), no offer of solving issue of two days without hot water (could have comped us use of shower facilities at the day spa next door, fir example) resulting in my 82yo father returning home with a chill.

The hotel and bar were both very good. I had been considering budget hotels when I found this place. It was a great alternative and a much better standard of accommodation and food all round. Service was excellent. Definitely use it again when in the area.
