    I thought everything was absolutely incredible. I'm aware that a refurbishment is happening soon. I really hope that the refurbishment doesn't take the charm and character away. The current style of interior design is perfect. Nicer Televisions would be a good spend of the budget. Leather sofas would be amazing. Also, Bath matts would be nice as well. Other than that everything was absolutely perfect and I can see myself spending a lot of time here in the future as long as the price is right. :) I really enjoyed my stay and would like to say that Samantha at reception was absolutely fantastic. She had a brilliant smile. I can't remember the names of the other three gents but they were fantastic too. Compliments to the Chef my Eggs Benedict was amazing. The night Porter was very friendly. The Managers were incredibly helpful and the F&B Assistant was a very hard worker. Overall an incredible stay and would definitely recommend.

    Excellent throughout booking and our stay. We were travelling just before storm Bert took hold, and were allowed to book in early and given a parking permit to use for the weekend.The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The room was very clean and comfortable, with lots of small touches to make our stay effortless. The fridge with welcome drinks and fresh milk available 24/7.Breakfast was unique, never had a hamper of scrumptious food delivered to my room door in a hamper before. Not only was the food scrumptious, there was plenty for both of us. Then there was the “treat” on Sunday. Homemade Tiramisu, the best we’ve ever had. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

    Staff are so helpful and friendly, the adjacent bar is cozy and had a premium cocktail special 2/£14 again with cheerful service. Dinner was excellent including. the vegetarian option of Jerusalem artichoke, mushroom and an excellent chick pea/sunflower seed topper. The pillows were divine! Parking behind the building felt very tucked away and safe.

    Weymouth is a beautiful seaside town that captures the charm of a traditional English holiday while offering so much to enjoy today. The golden sandy beach is the heart of the town, clean and inviting, with plenty of space for families, couples, and solo visitors alike. The lively promenade is filled with the sound of children’s laughter, donkey rides, and the delight of watching incredible sand sculptures. Cafés and stalls nearby serve excellent coffee and treats, perfect for relaxing as you take in the view of the sea. There is always a sense of fun and amusement along the seafront, with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere created by both visitors and locals. Whether strolling along the esplanade, enjoying the sea air, or simply sitting back and people-watching, Weymouth leaves you with a lasting impression of warmth and happiness. A wonderful place to visit, and one I would happily return to.

    Naturally beautiful place, very clean for being a busy little seaside town. Loads of lovely cool little shops and arts and crafts. Great variety of cafes and restaurants. Culture and history with Jurassic coast etc. Great spot. And great little mini aquarium. There are a lot of hills, bear this in mind. And windy streets that can result in bit of traffic congestion. But this is mostly no problem if stay near the beach.

    Blandford Forum had a lovely park with a large waterlily pond (would be so amazing to visit this in May or whenever the lilies flower!) and a pleasant river walk . The town had a nice place to have a drink (The Crown Hotel) and a Morrisons which was convenient as well as some coffee shops and small unusual shops. There were some lovely charity shops and the town was a welcome refuge from the more busier places we could have visited. I went to the fashion museum. It was a pleasant small town.

    Sherborne is my hometown, so I am biased! It is a beautiful old town with the superb Sherborne Abbey in the centre. Plenty to do and see in and around Sherborne, a car is definitely needed to see other sites. The Three Wishes, at the bottom of Cheap Street, is a lovely restaurant with a very good menu.
