Over night stay
The room was very hot and we were woken up by a tractor cutting the hedges at 7.30am. The bathrooms could do with being updated - very clinical and reminded us of hospital bathrooms. The breakfast was good and we requested vegan options which they did.

Everything was very clean and spotless. Very quiet location. Only complain is how soft the mattress was. Tooo soft suggesting it might need a replacement.

Nice hotel, but service mixed.
Clean and comfortable hotel. Service was a mixed bag. Some staff are friendly, some are not. Breakfast was good, but should have some fruit or yoghurts available. You need to pre-order dinner so bear this in mind if you were planning to eat there the first evening. Check out time of 930am is way too early! Especially as you can only check in after 4pm. Convenient location to explore Durdle Door and Old Harry's Rocks.

Well worth staying.
Hell to find. Local pubs and police(!) couldn't help but once there everything was excellent. Food very good and reasonably priced (bar food eaten but the more formal meals looked good). Staff excellent. The rooms are upstairs or down and there's no lift. Specify carefully if this matters. If you're into golf this is on thye spot but Monkey World and the Tank Museum are nearby.

Drunken guests
The hotel building and staff were great, however, there was an issue on two different nights with drunk guests. One night I ended up sleeping in the car, and the other had other drunk guests hammering on windows and doors. Given the nights were several days apart, I can only assume this is a common occurence. The hotel itself doesn't have the best sound proofing which didn't help either. I would strongly advise anyone who doesn't intend to get drunk to stay elsewhere.

This is very friendly and good value, not plush but genuine. The rooms have thin walls, otherwise comfy with decent coffee. The countryside is staggeringly beautiful.

Lovely peaceful surroundings. Comfortable lodgings. Great breakfast. Could do with some better signage for those approaching from the minor roads direct by sat nav systems using their postcode. Really enjoyed it otherwise

Enjoyed staying here
Our plan was to visit a RSPB reserve in Dorset and this hotel was in the perfect position. Lovely room with comfortable single beds and very efficient shower. Great to have two easy chairs on which to sit and decent table. Often there is only one which is very irritating and annoying. Downside is that the wall between us and the next door room must have been very thin as we could hear what the conversation was about. The bar was in a large room or we could sit outside. Large dining room. Good food. Would have liked other different fruits for breakfast. Staff all very friendly.

Dear Anonymous, thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry you found it difficult to find our General Reception, new places always require you to get your bearings. We have done our best to sign post the Reception and have a 3m x 1.5m Sign placed on the reception building itself on its frontage but appreciate you may not have been drawn to it. We have recently replaced all of our Hot water tanks in the Hotel to accommodate extra capacity so I cannot understand how you only had a warm shower, it may be that you were in a room further away from the tank requiring it to be put on for a minute or two before to draw the hot water through? You are correct in stating our two types of accommodation, they are clearly defined online and I do apologize if you were drawn to another conclusion. Hope to have you with us again and feel free to contact me directly if you wish to discuss anything further. Kind Regards Stephen Packer Senior Manager

Very very dated hotel. Room tiny and draughty. Breakfast quality poor although staff were pleasant. Check in staff could not find our booking and then nearly tried to charge us again. Would NOT recommend to anyone else.

Response from Stephen Packer on 10 Nov 2018
Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. I have to respectfully disagree with your opinion on our Hotel accommodation. We are constantly renewing our rooms and although some elements will always require updating the vast majority of the room is new. As an example the bathrooms were fully renovated just this year. With regards the breakfast we cater for all tastes and needs with a Hot Full English Buffet, Cereal selection, Fruits, Homemade Granola and Yogurt. We also take requests for Egg's if you would of prefer poached, an omelette or Porridge. So if something wasn't to your taste we could have ensured an enjoyable breakfast should a request have been made. Our check in staff are extremely efficient however when booking through a third party the paper is not our own and I can only apologize if there was an issue in the admin side of your booking. Please feel free to contact me directly should you wish to discuss this any further. Kind Regards Stephen Packer Senior Manager.

Better for families than business
Arrived late and nobody answered the phone so spent 15 mins in the dark trying to find staff as signage for restaurant was very poor in the dark. I was expecting a lodge but actually got an adequate but very basic room. The setting was very pretty and staff most helpful .

Stayed here for a local triathlon - quiet, clean, spacious and somewhere safe to park car . Unfortunately we had to leave early the next morning before breakfast. But would go back for sure.

Nice resort just not for a single female.
Comfortable and clean but hair dryer didn't work properly and a light bulb was out. I only wanted a room for the night. Food is served across the road from the rooms in the club house but I didn't eat there. Its part of golf and bowls resort and didn't see any females so felt awkward as a lone female to eat or sit at the bar. Handy for local attractions like monkey world, tank museum and Lulworth cove and close enough for me to go to my usual destination of Swanage and Studland. I would stay again just to shower and sleep but would eat in town. If into golf or bowls I'm sure it would be an excellent venue and would not want my comments to put you off. It just wasn't for me.
