Beautiful garden! The hotel itself is such a gem with its vintage architecture and interior designs. The garden is well tended and such a nice walk out after breakfast along the canal.

I did not visit Wareham itself as I was staying in Corfe Castle which is a beautiful village. I was holidaying with my dog and there were plenty of places that welcome dogs including tea rooms, the Swanage steam railway and some boat tours from Swanage.

Plenty of history.
From the Saxon walls around the town.
Plenty of history.
From the Saxon walls around the town. Lawrence of Arabia's final years.
Old churches and the rivers on the North and South of the town. Everyone should do there homework before visiting and if there during the third week of November there is "Court Leet" an historic ceremony held each year. Certainly "you tube" is a great tool to view before making the trip.
The Priory is an exceptional hotel. The service is excellent and the whole hotel is scrupulously clean and tidy. The grounds are lovely and the gardens interesting. Its position backing onto the River Frome adds to its charm. It is a great location for exploring and borders the Arne Nature Reserve. Bournemouth and Poole are in the vicinity and so are many of the lovely Dorset towns and villages.
Breakfast was excellent. There is full menu available for the evening.
Best boutique hotel I’ve ever stayed in, from check in ( chap walked my bags to my room ) to breakfast! I’ve not even checked out and can’t wait to leave feedback! Best hotel I’ve stayed in by far!

Very good generous breakfast. Full English breakfast very good. Very good fruit salad and yoghurt. Good service. Fantastic marmalade made locally. Nice dining room for breakfast and if it had been sunnier you could sit outside in courtyard.
Very helpful friendly staff at Bear Hotel. Warm welcome and good atmosphere. Good place to meet up for lunch and evening meals too.
lovely little apartment with comfortable sofa bed for second adult. Cosy with the central heating on. Location is perfect for exploring the area. lulworth and Durdle Door are 10 mins drive away and Wareham for eating and shopping about the same. There’s a farm shop and cafe/restaurant 3 mins walk from the farm which is useful. And the farm dogs are lovely. Thank you.
Very accommodating host and fantastic location for anyone travelling via train. The host let us have an early check in and was quite happy to accommodate some last minute changes in our plan. The property is quite close to the Wareham station and is just a short bus ride away from all tourist attractions like the Corfe Castle.
Friendliness of staff on arrival - as I arrived by motorbike and sometimes do not get the best of receptions but staff were lovely. The room was better than expected as I am used to staying in London and having worked in the hotel industry was wary of my expectations.
The lake is beautiful and the cheeky ducks are good fun (the bird seed was a nice touch!)
. The studio was spacious, well equipped, and furnished to a high standard. The studio is only a short walk (20/25mins) along a country lane to the centre of Wareham.
Next to Wareham forest with lovely walks and good for snake spotting.
Beds were very comfortable.
Welcome hamper was a nice touch.
Garden and parking facilities were good.
Overall we had a good week and explored the area and enjoyed our stay.
Very comfortable and airy house in the enchanting, quiet street. Loved the bedding and the spotless bathroom.
Absolutely in love with Wareham, Corfe Castle, Arne and Studland Bay. Stunning location with superb restaurants and brilliant walks.
Old building (built 1550) with lots of character and therefore warren like with lots of twists and turns and little steps. Comfortable room and shower worked well. Breakfast to order and nice. Good value for money. Nice location in Wareham.
The property was very clean and comfortable. It was also only a 5 minute walk to the Quay in Wareham with local pubs and restuarants. The small road on which the property was located was quiet which was good.
The location was perfect for us, as we wanted to travel on the Swanage heritage railway. The property also had a convenient restaurant across the road, and was only a short walk into Wareham town centre.
Beautiful garden! The hotel itself is such a gem with its vintage architecture and interior designs. The garden is well tended and such a nice walk out after breakfast along the canal.
The location was perfect to go into Wareham town.
Stephanie and Richard were very friendly and helpful.
Great breakfast.
The room was warm and comfortable and clean.
