Rooms comfortable and well equipped. There is no lift but they have excellent rooms/suites at ground level. Lounge and dining service were superb and the food very good. A good sized indoor swimming pool. What not to like.

Just book it! Lovely hotel!
What an absolutely lovely hotel. The staff are so friendly and the service impeccable. Our room was so large and the bed was the most comfortable ever! Absolute star of the show is the restaurant in the evening. This is Michelin star worthy food. Totally unexpected and absolutely delicious. We were sad not to have more time here as we didn’t have a chance to use the spa or explore the grounds (which looked gorgeous). I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Hardy Country visit
All staff very helpful. Very comfortable and large room with lots of additional seating. Lovely view of the gardens. Breakfast was adequate but seemed short of staff to keep things topped up. Excellent walking through nearby estate. Dinner was good in main restaurant but somewhat odd in that some diners had a different menu to choose from and were very casually dressed. Went to associated pub for dinner on second evening which was very good.

Good but can be better 🙂
Very nice place to visit, warm and stylish with wonderful food and service. Place where you can relax and enjoy a peaceful countryside life. Cottage room are very nice with own fire plce and comfy bed but smells old and damp would be nice to have some better ventilation there. Same as swimming pool and jacuzzi nice pool but very shallow, once you in jacuzzi is hard to breathe due to chlorine and bad ventilation. Pet friendly but if you with a pet you have only option to stay in the cottage rather than main hotel.

Amazing 😍
It was an amazing weekend. This was going to be a solo trip, but then a friend joined me at the last minute. They were so accommodating. It surpassed all expectations. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The location is in the middle of nowhere, so there’s nothing to do around the property. But, it’s perfect to completely disconnect from the world. Close to Jurassic Coast. Would definitely book again!

OVERPRICED
The staff were amazing , room very small & bathroom even smaller no full size bath , only 1 chair in room , plugs in wardrobe & not beside the bed , breakfast was amazing quality & service , disappointed with the spa not being within the hotel so you had to walk through the car park & up to it , so no wearing slippers & robes to get to it , also the size of the changing rooms were tiny with only 1 changing room , sauna only big enough for 2 people , pool was great & jacuzzi, but that’s because it was only my husband & another couple , wouldn’t like to be there when busy . For £650 for 2 nights with breakfast felt it was not worth the money and have stayed in a lot cheaper hotels with better rooms & facilities
