The Manor House
Really lovely staff and a great bar downstairs. Only complaint (hence 4 stars). We were up in a top floor room and it was so insanely hot. We turned off the radiators and opened the window but the minute you stepped into the corridor you were sweating again. We enjoyed the bar quiz, but not the drunks ...

Half Pint Cottage
We stayed here for 3 nights, the property was spotlessly clean on arrival. Parking at the cottage was a blessing as the road outside was busy with residents cars. An ideal base to explore Dorset, and several pubs within easy walking distance. Would stay here again.
