Independent, Purbeck District hotels

"The Victorian building was remarkable. The tiled flooring in the reception area and the row of servants' bells gave one a sense of stepping back in time. We were in a modern annex to the house, which was immaculate and comfortable. If there was a restaurant it would have been perfect, however there were restaurants close by, and the sea front was also just a short walk."

"Lovely well appointed room and bathroom though could benefit from towel hanging in bathrooms. Towels and bedlinen very good quality and beds are exceptionally comfortable. Staff lovely and helpful. Food nice though service is very slow at busy times "
