There are no ground-floor rooms and the hotel is run from the cellar bar, so it involves a lot of steep stairs, which is a bit tricky for elderly people ... but that's a little hard to resolve in a 16th century building. At least the staff tried to help by moving us from the second floor to the first floor.

Service was great - all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Meals were great - breakfast cooked to order, so nice and fresh.

Duvet too hot. Don't need a 10.5 tog feather and down duvet in the spring.

Room was lovely. View of gardens and sea. Breakfast was great. Lovely quiet location. Also near Abbotsbury Swannery.

We could hear everything from the other rooms. People chatting from one side and people snoring from the other side.

Lovely staff, good food, beautiful views

Character, friendliness of staff, great food, great location.

Write your review We spent three nights here. What a find! Chosen partly for the views and outside space, which didn't disappoint. (Blessed with dry weather). Milly and the team were all great. Professional, courteous and attentive. We dined in every night, as the food was delicious. Probably the best Moules I have ever had (and I've had a few!) and the Pork Tomahawk steak was delicious. We loved the charm of the building itself, lots of character. A great spot to explore the local area, away from the hustle of the

We were not aware that only one room was dog friendly out of the two we booked, so the kids ended up looking after the dog in their room! Best to be informed before booking. Small thing, and everything else was fab

Delicious breakfast! We couldn’t sit in the breakfast room which had stunning views as we had a dog so sat in the dining room at the back. But staff were really attentive and it was absolutely fine.

We booked a sea view room & didn't realise we were in the attic with a small window not at eye level. We would have liked to have eaten in the restaurant in the evening but found the prices a little high for residents.

Gorgeous location & the house had lots of character. Very comfortable bed & lovely breakfast.

The slightly unusual arrangement of the sugar not being on the breakfast table was strange as was the apparent lack of sweetener, but this was explained and indeed once explained did seem sensible. I would however suggested the sweetener tablet dispensers as against packet sweetener which still solves one part of the reasoning.

The cooked part of breakfast was of reasonable proportion, the continental part was plentiful and looked fresh every day. The evening meals when we had them were again of reasonable proportion and did leave you feeling full, but overly full. The choices of cooked foods was excellent as was the standard of cooking. Each course was presented in a timely manner, but not rushed.

Very quiet and unspoiled location very near to the beach, remote but easily accessible. The room had a spectacular sea view. Hotel is a very old, historic building with lots of quirky features. Breakfast was fantastic. Staff very friendly and obliging.

Room 9. Had bright outside light. Just outside the bathroom window. Even with the window blind closed. Due to the bathroom door being etch glass. This made the bedroom very bright. Struggled to sleep. Just needs simple black out blind on the bathroom door.

Charm & location
