This historic building dates back to the 16th century but has been well maintained and mixes traditional furnishings with modern touches. It is beautiful and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious and the staff was incredible. We booked the most basic room but were upgraded on arrival to the superior room. In November, the hotel was very quiet and not busy at all as it's the off season. The location is also right next to the river and the town. On the hotel's website, you can only book for a 2 night minimum, but Booking.com allows you to book 1 night, which was perfect for our quick weekend getaway.
Super small thing but because it's an old building, the doors are low, so you have to be careful if you're tall. Also, there wasn't any temperature control in the room that we could find (but that wasn't an issue during our stay).
Quality in every respect. A feeling of relaxation and history. The staff were excellent and the location great for visiting The Jurassic Coast
Nothing
Beautiful location, and the house unspoilt by its conversion
Slightly slow service at dinner due to full restaurant but staff were very nice about it and it was worth the wait
The property was beautiful and well designed.
I did not notice that our room contained a Queen bed, so smaller than a double, when I booked it. The room was very small as well although well furnished. I don’t believe the price point is right for this type of room. It spoilt the break as neither of us had a good night’s sleep for two nights.
Beautiful hotel scenery. Fantastic food lovely staff
Having to leave
Everything.
The amazing room, the peaceful and nice place, the awesome garden, the lovely staff, the meals (the cheese board!!). Everything was perfect.
We stayed 2 nights and it has been our favorite place in our 2 week long honeymoon in England.
We should have stayed longer.
Great staff and wonderful buildings interiors and gardens and restaurant
The hotel and setting are simply stunning. A mixture of old-world charm with superb modern additions such as the restaurant.
Our room which we had previously stayed in, had been given a recent makeover with new soft furnishings and bathroom.
Our room like the hotel and grounds were immaculate. So a definite 5 stars to the team behind the scenes.
Again our meals, particularly breakfast were spot on. All freshly prepared.
We are now on our third visit here as we've truly had memorable visits before. However, even though many aspects of this beautiful hotel are spot on, there were a few let downs this time.
Our room make over was great, but a big no for us was the now opaque glass door for the ensuite. Practical maybe but private no, and the light emitted from the mirror was not great for a light sleeper. Plus, if using at night, the ensuite lights light the whole room. Just not for us.
Drinks in the bar early one evening were also a bit of a letdown. The bar tender though lovely, had little knowledge on mixing drinks. Ours served no different to the local pub in the wrong glasses and mixers totally poured in. No finesse. Sounds picky, and the drinks would be perfectly fine in the pub, but when you're a five star hotel with five star prices it's these things that make the difference.
But the big no was the discretionary service addition on our bill at check out. We've stayed in hotels of a similar calibre but have never come across this before.
It just felt cheeky and when paying the current rates for your stay, surely that's already included. Yes, it's discretionary but it was an embarrassing conversation. So for us, not five star anymore.
Room was small but comfortable. Could have done with a larger set of drawers. Breakfast was excellent
Lack of drawers to put jumpers etc away...lived out of suitcase...but it was only for 1 night !!
Full of character and lovely gardens to explore in super position on the river. The restaurant was a highlight with exceptional food and decor.
Nothing
I checked in at 5 pm and advised I had to leave at 7 am the next morning . The hotel could not even provide a coffee before 7.30 ( did offer a small of Rice Krispies or weetabix
No usb docket in the room - before going to my room I stopped at reception to check whether there would be and no one came ( waited 5 mins after timing the bell ).
The staff were superb and most helpful, particularly for someone like me with limited mobility.
I should have made contact before my one night stay, to determine my room size and bed size, preferring twin beds. Entirely my fault that my room was small and so was the bed for my needs. Having spoken about this to staff on leaving, I now know that when I return, which I truly intend to do, exactly what I should be booking.
See comment above.
Location, atmosphere, staff, breakfast, grounds
Rooms are small but they are very quirky and perfectly comfortable
Every staff is very nice and helpful. Everything is wonderful. Beautiful garden and delicious breakfast.
If the twin bed can be bigger, it will be perfect.
Food and location was amazing
