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.

Stayed for 1 night with my mum who was visiting a long time best friend. Our room was a twin and absolutely lovely xx staff were warm and welcoming and we had a meal in the bar which was very nice .. a private dinner party was in progress but service was still great. The only niggle was a dirty towel left in the shower and the bathroom could do with a good clean .. mould on sealant by shower and toilet bowl stained. A proper hoover and better fitting valance sheets would look a little nicer. Nothing ruined our stay though and as it for for one night we let it go xx could be fabulous but I’d go with 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.

Lovely place to stay
Corfe Castle is small but beautiful and the Bankes Arms is conveniently situated in the heart of the town, with a car park at the rear. We stayed in the Eleanor room at the front, which was a good sized room, with a comfortable bed. The shower head in the bathroom was bit temperamental, sliding down the pole if not in exactly the right position, but otherwise all fine. The room was noisy during the evening, especially on the Saturday night, as sound travelled up from the bar below and there was a surprising amount of traffic from the road outside, but this wasn't unexpected, given we were staying in a pub/hotel. There was a kettle, tea etc in the room (including coffee bags) but sadly no biscuits. However, with the bakery across the road we 'managed' fine without! We ate in the hotel on the first evening - good service and good food (fish & chips/burger/ sticky toffee pudding and an excellent creme brulee) of which there was plenty. Breakfast had to be pre-ordered the evening before and was cooked fresh - the poached eggs were perfect. All the staff were lovely, and credit must go especially to the lady in charge of breakfast who was having to contend with it raining inside from different locations both mornings - a drawback to working in an old building. We would definitely go back!
