North Dorset District Yoga Vacations

The hotel was tired and just ‘ok’. I’ve stayed in Macdonald hotels and they’re been great hence booking a new one to try. To be honest I’ve stayed in better budget hotels. The bathroom has grout missing and quite mouldy and not well maintained tiles etc. The restaurant only served DIY instant decaf sachet coffee which is so poor. Not much choice for vegans and the staff were not helpful when I asked. I wouldn’t return here, overall very disappointed as this was meant to be a celebration for both my sons graduating. Leisure facilities were ok but when I went back to get changed not a lot of room as multiple spa parties in the changing area. Had to wait.

Beware. The room next to main entrance is noisy because of traffic and guests check in late at night and out early in the morning.

Characterful property, though the most interesting downstairs spaces didnt seem to have much function - it felt like they were a corridor to the restaurant. We were in a modern ground floor room - pleasant but some fittings looked a bit tired. There was no aircon. We were charged almost £100 for dinner for 2 (without wine). Food ok but not special - i was not even offered a bread roll with my soup. Most other diners seemed to be families with rather noisy children - overall it felt somewhere between fine dining and a holiday camp. At check in i was pressed to book and pay for breakfast, which i did. Next morning i was told by restaurant staff that they had no record of my booking

Quick and easy check in. Very friendly staff. Close to our cruise terminal. Had trouble with the dryer, staff was very helpful, immediately started working on the problem. The only problem was having to run the dryer twice to get our clothes dry. Would stay here again.

Our room was 418… took elevator to 4th floor but then to walk up a steep flight of stairs to room! I have difficulty climbing stairs, this was not expected and not appreciated!

Nice atmosphere, because it’s a tavern and bars all around it, it was loud at night with music.

Very polite and helpful. Would return!!

Because of the age of the building there was no air conditioning. And only a tiny fan in the round. 10” I found it was just to unbearable to sleep. Warm day and room above the kitchen. One member of staff said to mention to reception. She said they have a lot of people say about it and they should be doing something about it. Was I was checking out and mentioned to the lady there. She brushed me off and I felt awkward and hurt. She did not care.

We had a lovely stay, very welcoming and helpful staff. Rooms are of a high standard as are the services and the hotels communal areas.

Nice location, staff were helpful and breakfast/food was great. Stayed for one night in the heat wave and room was sweltering - but found a fan in the wardrobe to help.

We enjoyed the view and the distance from the hotel to the beach. It was very convenient. The beds were comfy and the staff were very friendly and helpful as well. Overall we really enjoyed our trip and it was a pleasure booking this hotel.

Manor House and gardens are lovely

Hotel was convenient for the beach and shops - the pool was not very clean, breakfast was good, as was the family room I booked. Spacious with good facilities. Reception was sometimes a long wait, with only one person on most of the time. We had booked dinner which good, would have been good to have 'specials' on the dinner menu. Overall, good stay
