The Frampton Arms
8/10 Good
"On arrival, mid afternoon on a Saturday, bar tables were not cleared or wiped plus the floor could of done with a good sweep, on booking in we found the room to be of a good standard, we had dinner in the restaurant and the food was excellent, but again on getting refill drinks we had to ask for the used glasses to be removed. Coming down to breakfast Sunday morning, everything was great, the young man on duty making sure tables was cleared and wiped, breakfast items replenished and fresh coffee maintained, Well done him, Sundays roast was good but Monday morning things could of been a lot better, I asked if there was any tea spoons, and one was produced from behind the bar, sadly breakfast items were not replenished , and the area was not kept clean or tidy!!! Well done to the guy who did breakfast Sunday morning, 30/8"
The Casterbridge
10/10 Excellent
"Our room was lovely, suitably large with 2 good wardrobes and a light over the dressing table mirror. The mattress was very comfortable and table water was always available. Breakfast was served in the conservatory with a lovely view of the enclosed garden. We ventured away from the Full English to try the omelettes which were delicious! The owner, Noorani Willamson is charming, chatty and very knowledgable about the surrounding area."
George Albert Hotel & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Great place to stay. I recommend"
Sleeping Bear Hotel Dorchester
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent hotel, highly recommended"
The Fox Inn
10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at this gorgeous picturesque hotel. The staff were lovely & the food was fantastic."
The Countryman Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Really great find, perfect for visiting Durdle Door - only a 10 min drive away. Lovely en-suite room and bonus that there were 2 twin beds through a connecting door as was expecting a double sofa bed. Staff were always on hand to help and check in was efficient (accommodating a late check-in for us). Really nice touch having a fridge on the landing with fresh milk and a choice of nightcaps! Only wish we had more than 1 night here. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!"
The Red Lion
10/10 Excellent
"The fan in the room was very much appreciated. A mini-fridge with freezer would have been helpful for storing temperature-sensitive medications."
Old Ship Inn
8/10 Good
"Compact rooms, located in yard behind the pub, a little noisy around closing time, all quiet after that, not a problem unless you are planning an early night. Shower clean, good flow and hot, biscuits with the tea and coffee, twin beds comfortable but we booked a double room, suggest ringing before arrival to confirm selection. Reasonably priced, would recommend if staying one or two nights."
Yalbury Cottage
10/10 Excellent
"This is the second time I have stayed due to the convenient location for work. I’ve had the warmest arrival on both occasions. The room was lovely. The bed extremely comfy. And the little touches such as fresh milk and brownies are a bonus treat. Exceptional."
