    A serene haven in the heart of the Dorset countryside, offering a peaceful rest. The hosts were welcoming and the breakfast was one of the best we have ever had anywhere in the world. We loved our room, decorated in classic country style, with a beautiful bouquet of flowers from their graden completing the ambience. We particularly liked the hosts knowledge and love of the countryside, something that shone through in everything they did. We can definitely recommend this hotel to those looking for a true countryside experience.

    Good location for visiting the area, very quiet and peaceful. Car parking was easy and free. The draft beer was excellent. The staff were friendly and efficient, The room was clean and furnished in the stile of the hotel even though the hotel was built in 2016 in the model town that showcases the vision of King Charles III. Dinner was excellent with friendly service.

    Nestled in breathtaking countryside, this hidden gem offers tranquility and stunning views. Our room was tastefully decorated with everything we needed, and the modern bathroom was a luxurious touch. Another highlight of our stay was the fantastic breakfast. Not only was it delicious, but having it brought to our room meant we could savor it while admiring the picturesque surroundings. We wholeheartedly recommend this place for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway.
