I found this hotel nestled in a lovely Dorset town, close to good restaurants and green fields. The rooms are beautifully decorated in traditional English style with a very comfortable bed, but the view of the garden outside brings a charming touch. The service was exceptional, with great hospitality from the caring owners. The dining experience offered good quality food, especially the superb sausages. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a pleasant stay.

The hotel is nestled in picturesque green fields and conveniently located within easy reach of a variety of shops. The rooms are meticulously clean with large, comfy beds, but the bathrooms are notably small and cold. I found the service to be top-notch, with great hospitality from the caring owners. The location, although close to the town center, is primarily advantageous in common areas. The dining experience offered superb sausages, yet the food quality was merely good. Additional Details: Rooms - clean, comfy; Service - hospitable; Location - common areas; Dining - good sausages.

I had a delightful stay at this charming hotel. The rooms were cozy and spacious, and waking up to a delicious breakfast in the lovely conservatory with views of the garden was a real treat. The warm and caring owners made me feel right at home, but the price could be a bit on the higher side for some travelers.
