The hotel was a little tired but clean, comfy bed and good shower so key point were catered for. Also a good selection and quality breakfast The hotel desperately needs some illumination outside, it looks closed from the main road and the inroad and carparks are not lit at all, it must loose trade because of this if it wasn't for the satnav I would of passed it several times before seeing it.

Great location
The hotel was in a great location for our needs. The downside was we stayed in room 24 and it smelt awful as we were only there for 2 nights we put up with it. My mother in laws room was fine. I did let reception know. Bar service was slow at time. Food was great especially the breakfast. All.the staff work hard and are friendly.

8/10 Very good

Room was fine - comfortable beds (2 singles - 'comfort room'), everything worked, good-sized bathroom. Prefer if different coffee brand used, as Nescafe are unethical (political activities, anti-social finance, likely use of tax avoidance strategies, animal testing, animal rights abuses, a poor approach to climate change and more). My wife's particular concern with them is that they contribute to the unnecessary death and suffering of infants around the world by aggressively marketing baby foods in breach of international marketing standards. Restaurant used for evening meal - good quality and generous portions - and for breakfast. Full Breakfast was '1 of each' - would have quite liked >1 mushroom, egg, bacon etc (perhaps I should have been bold and asked), but it did also include all the continental options too so overall still decent value for full breakfast. Swimming pool was reasonable size and a nice addition (a jacuzzi would have been even better!), but not keen on the very small changing-room, with the urinal just round the corner from the very small square section with bench and shower The spray from the shower and water flow to plug was encroaching on the bench area. Also walls were grey concrete looking - seemed like they needed to have some paint or tiles on to vastly improve the look. Overall, though, recommend the hotel for a good value Sun to Mon stay-over as we explored Shaftesbury and wider area.

Quiet country hotel in Shaftesbury
Parking is easy although I recommend not parking near the trees/hedge as the car was covered in sap and debris in the morning. The lovely looking swimming pool which helped us choose this hotel was closed for maintenance every time we wanted to use it. Breakfasts were good. A little overpriced for the tired looking room.

2/10 Poor

Considering i spent over 130 for a night for this hotel it was not what i expected. Seemed more like a care home than a hotel. Rooms didnt look like they did on the pictures and neither did the property. It needs updating badly. Beds were very worn and mattressing had springs coming through. The bathroom that looked quite new was dirty. Staff were welcoming and friendly though.
