The location is truly beautiful, so near the sea. Lovely for walks, perfect for everyone who loves the Dorset coast. The food is good and pleasantly served. Good staff. Pleasant, quiet room. Good ensuite facilities. The hotel building/decor is a bit tired generally but that didn't matter. We had a lovely, relaxing break.

This is an incredibly unique property with a lot to offer its customers. It sits in the most beautiful part of Dorset and offers fabulous walks direct from the hotel. We booked half board for a family of 5 (2 adults & 3 children) inc a dog. We booked the 3 bedroom suite which had a shower room and a bathroom - perfect! On arrival, we learnt that the half board was for 2x adults ONLY! This was a surprise especially after we were told that the hotel simply credits your account with £27.50 per adult, so £55 each night of our stay. This is relatively convenient as a 2 course meal (minimum order when dining in the evening) is £27.50 from the set menu. However, booking HB simply ties you in to dining in this restaurant each night. This was particularly frustrating as my two elder children had to have at least the 2 course dinner, often opting for the 3 courses (£35pp) (hungry teens) and my younger child from the children’s set menu which consisted of 3 different meal choices (fish & chips, chicken goujons & pasta) non of which came with vegetables. Extra greens were £5 and on the night we asked, the greens were peas! We politely declined. On a more positive note, the adult set menu did change each evening and the food was always very nice but sometimes substituted with an item similar to the suggested item on the menu - tomatoes on the vine, substituted for sliced tomatoes when we ordered 2 starters of buffalo mozzarella cheese. Book B&B but do try the restaurant.
