Independent North Dorset District hotels

"Parking was safe and easy and staff were very friendly "

"Staff couldn’t be more helpful! Great dinner and breakfast and super comfortable bed! Couldn’t fault it :)"

"Unfortunately the family room was right above the main bar so very noisy until after 11am"

"Comfortable and large room. Free parking. Bonus swimming pool and sauna. Hotel had trouble linking paid external booking but was soon sorted out. "

"Lovely atmosphere in old styled pub. Good food and menu"

"disabled parking 2 very small spaces in an enclosed courtyard quite tight .hot tub was out of order. lots of steps as well as the mentioned creaky wooden stairs. check-in is right opposite the swimming pool entrance in the same aera as club entrance so wet & slippy floor and crowded blocking access. room was drab and dated empty for the size .noise level of neighbours and any movement in hallway echoed. bed was very uncomfortable lumpy. shower didn't drain and overflowed. wooden toilet seat that pushed flush button when seated."

"Booked an overnight stay and dinner for my birthday. Perfect location for a stroll around Shaftesbury with parking, but we booked because of the hotel restaurant. Room was clean, cosy and comfortable, the hotel had character. The restaurant was excellent, with faultless service from the time we spent in the bar deciding on our choices to coffee and petit fours there after dinner. Great food and very good value. My venison was excellent and the wine of the month a great recommendation. Breakfast was exceptional - plenty of choice and prepared to order. Very happy to recommend."

"Charming inn. Food, staff very good. "

"The breakfast was, I’d say, better than in a Hotel Ibis. The food was, definitely, locally sourced. We reached Bruton and the Hauser & Wirth arts complex easily from this hotel. We also visited the Jurassic Coast, but that took us a whole day, and we returned by 10pm."
