    Pleasant stay but expected a much higher standard of general decor for the money.

    Although our room was obviously newly decorated, the other areas of the hotel were sadly neglected, and in great need of refurbishment. The outside area likewise was neglected and tatty and in need of a good sweeping, tidy and clean up. First impressions were not good at all so our room was a pleasant surprise.

    Very clean newly decorated room and bathroom. Very comfy bed and super soft pillows. Good shower. Fresh milk in fridge. Excellent cooked breakfast and very friendly staff. Private parking on premises.

    Needs a bit of an update and lounge area decluttering.

    Fairly good location for the beach and shops. Friendly staff. Good breakfast, cooked to order. Did have some parking which is expensive throughout the area.

    Hotel is in need of some tlc. For example a patch of ceiling leaking over our heads at breakfast. Communal area downstairs being used as a storage area, this could be hidden away with something like a curtain

    The room was clean and tidy and a good size. Location was close to the beach and hotel offered free parking on site. Nice touches of biscuits and fresh milk being topped up in room for tea and coffees

    The worst bit was hearing the swearing from the kitchen whilst sitting in the breakfast room with my 11 year old - the f-bomb was dropped twice :( Also we said we would be down for breakfast at 9 but being told the other couple would be down at 8.30 - so we came down at 8.30 (as it seemed like a hint) and then feeling like we’d caused inconvenience by being early! Could do with replacing their hotel information book - looks really battered!

    Close to the beach. Comfortable bed. Breakfast good. Clean bathroom.

    The garden area was uninviting and untidy. Communal area was also uninviting, dark and dowdy. The place has an interesting history, would like to see more around the communal rooms.

    The position, convenient to walk into town and amenities.

    There were, unfortunately, some renovations underway in the lounge and dining area on the two days of our stay. Did not disturb us at all, though. It just meant that first impression on arrival was not as anticipated, but the room, excellent location, and good breakfast made up for it.

    A lovely, quiet location, walking distance from the centre and a very spacious, elegantly decorated, spotless room with a large en suite. Friendly owner, his advice saved us time on our visit to Corfe Castle! Good breakfast, free parking was also appreciated.
