Really comfortable room. Friendly staff and great food. They wrapped up my breakfast as I was going a run which was really kind. It was very tasty after I warmed it up at home.
Deborah, 1-night trip

Happy guests.
We are really pleased to have stayed here. It's a great building which I imagine the overseas tourists must be in awe of. Well even this English one was! The staff were really good, we had a very good evening meal and breakfast. There is a car park at the back which in high season must be a very useful thing for guests in this very busy village.
Stephen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is located in a great location. It has an excellent pub, with another excellent pub almost across the street for variety. It is a short walking distance to Corfe castle as well as an historic railway.

10/10 Exceptional

Ideal position for Corfe Castle visit and Kimmeridge fossil centre and Jurassic coast. Friendly and helpful staff and management. Food excellent.
keith, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful building in an idyllic location. Team were so helpful throughout, allowing us to change in the room before it was ready etc. Breakfast was 10/10 - would fully recommend the full English, really was excellent. However, pub quite run down and in need of investment and refurbishment. Running water noise from faulty toilet and paintwork hanging off walls just some examples. Really excellent building and fab staff though.
Gemma, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A friendly well-situated pub, lovely building, good food and beer.
Richard, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Own free parking and short walk to Corfe Castle. Good breakfast. Property with character. Rather noisy room directly at the street with street lights lighting the room all night.
Etienne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were lovely and helpful and the meals superb. Housekeeping was a bit lacking - our room was quite dusty on some surfaces and well handled parts of the joinery were noticeably dirty eg bathroom door frame. The hotel is right in the centre of everything and the village is incredibly charming. On the whole, we loved our stay.
