Pleasant overall.

Overall a pleasant stay. The beds were very comfy. Breakfast was a pleasant experience, very relaxed. Room cleanliness was good but some minor defects found with lighting and the shower. The communal areas should be cleaned more regularly or carefully. Some stickiness to door handles and surfaces.

The hotel was welcoming and the room was spacious, and comfortable, if a little stuffy. It was at the top of the building and the windows would only open a little. The room would have been less stuffy had the windows been opened before we arrived, and the blinds drawn. It was clean, and the linen was all good. All in all, a pleasant stay.

Mixed review

Room was far too hot & the air conditioning wasnt working. Woken at 5.30am by the night porter continually crashing empty bottles into the skip under our window. Very thoughtless.Bed very uncomfortable. But restaurant & food was first class, staff excellent.

An interesting project. Hotel very good but Dinner Menu very limited. However this resulted in finding two excellent restaurants! Not easy to find shops in Poundbury as obviously any hoardings are not allowed.

The property was in character with the area and is in itself a fine building. Interesting inside with its multi-levels. Staff and service was excellent - all very helpful and attentive. Lucky with the weather sitting outside looking across the square was really great and our party of 10 had a very relaxed and interesting stay.

Great, well decorated rooms with a decent size TV, comfortable bed and powerful shower. I had a double aspect room with lovely views along the streets. Evening food was fairly basic, but reasonably priced and good quality, as was breakfast. The multi level dining area/bar is really well presented with a large central staircase and outside seating is also good. Overall a very good stay.
