This is our second stay this year and we loved it again . We chose a standard room this time and had a fabulous room on floor 2. There was a lovely view of Queen Mother Square from the window. The room was well equipped with tea/coffee making facilities . The bed was super comfy and the bathroom was lovely. We enjoyed our breakfast each morning . There was lots to choose from . We also dined both nights in the bar for dinner . The food was exceptional .

    We liked the good quality mattress The property is a 4 star inn and not a 4 star accommodation as we were made aware. So it did not conform to the standards of a 4 star accommodations. It was not clean and it’s dated. There is no phone in the room to call reception when things needed sorting and a LOT had to be fixed.

    The inn was in a great location for going to the harbour at Weymouth. They had large dining area , a bar and two outdoor seating areas . One with a lovely view over the countryside. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was very good. We had breakfast included and also had an evening meal which was delicious.
