Lovely hotel in the heart of Beaminster
Pros:

I'm reviewing this as backpackers walking The Monarch's Way, so our requirements are a warm room, hot water, a comfortable bed, somewhere for dinner and a great breakfast. Our room was ground floor and huge, with a very large bed, an even bigger bath (very welcome), and toiletries including body lotion and conditioner (no room in my pack for such luxuries!). There is no dinner at the Ollerod but apparently a food truck turns up in the evening (nice idea) and there's a bar, lovely garden and nice seating areas. We went a few metres up the road to The Red Lion and had a smashing dinner. Breakfast at The Ollerod is continental and proper; high quality meats, cheeses, breads and pastries and fresh fruit and cereal. Staff are delightful. A good centre for visiting this part of England and we recommend the Red Lion for dinner.

Cons:

Everything was great, thanks a lot!

Poor value for money and poor restaurant facilities.
Pros:

The general environment of the hotel, the town it is situated in and the attitude of the staff.

Cons:

What would prevent me from returning or recommending the hotel is an obvious lack of kitchen staff as there was no dinner service available and only a very limited breakfast service, and yet the hotel charged top dollar prices, that we would be happy to pay if the above mentioned services were provided. The list of eateries provided by the hotel in the local town included none that were open on a Sunday or Monday night. This meant that we had to arrive well fed on the Sunday and to travel to another town, Crewkerne, some 7 miles away for a Monday night meal.
