"This is the perfect definition of a small english town stay. I loved the vibe of the rooms and the location. The rooms were clean and they provide complimentary biscuits and tea. The customer service was good as my boyfriend needed to catch a taxi somewhere and couldn’t do it himself so the Inn was able to call for him. The breakfast felt a bit pricy, but there was a cold buffet in addition to any hot item on their menu. Their fresh honey comb was really cool!"

"Great hotel , modern , great working spa facilities. If there was any comment maybe on weekends breakfast could be extended until 10.30 ? Just in spa for an hour , time you are out and changed it left no time for breakfast"

"It was fine."

Westwood House

"First Class a must visit to see"

The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Large room, good quality fittings, comfortable bed"

Delightful thatched cottage in beautiful sleepy Dorset village and countryside

8/10 Good

"The only criticism I have of the whole experience was the WiFi, I needed to work from my laptop on arrival but the internet was hit and miss. If I was staying midweek and needed to work it would have been unacceptable. The property described there was internet access but that’s not really true as we also had issues with live streaming programmes."

The Casterbridge

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was lovely, suitably large with 2 good wardrobes and a light over the dressing table mirror. The mattress was very comfortable and table water was always available. Breakfast was served in the conservatory with a lovely view of the enclosed garden. We ventured away from the Full English to try the omelettes which were delicious! The owner, Noorani Willamson is charming, chatty and very knowledgable about the surrounding area."

Newly refurbished thatched cottage in beautiful sleepy village

8/10 Good

"Had an enjoyable stay. It is a lovely quaint cottage, parking was sufficient for two cars (an estate and hatchback). Generally clean but a few things were missed or could have been cleaner. We also had a bit of trouble opening and locking the doors might have been user error or possibly the weather? Despite the above we had a nice time"

A wonderful base to enjoy your next holiday.

10/10 Excellent

"We had 4 nights at Woodlander and found it to be a charming and practical space. The property is clean and well laid out with good kitchen facilities, a spacious lounge, 2 good-sized bedrooms and a very good bathroom with large shower cubicle. A couple of car parking spaces really helps too. Decor and furniture in the lounge creates a very homely effect and in general accommodation is possibly better than expected. Pauline’s communication was helpful as were the numerous leaflets about places of interest to visit in the area. This property was ideal for our visit and we would certainly stay there again. Many thanks Steve & Jill"
