Wish I’d stayed longer!
Pros:

This was hospitality at its best. I had a lovely suite, and enjoyed delicious meals, served by attentive and knowledgeable staff. The location is exceptional, gardens spreading down to a busy river. Wareham is a charming little town, with some delightful walks along the riverside. The hotel of course is beautiful, but the big plus is the staff, nothing was too much trouble.

Cons:

Oh being picky, but I hate those mean little bottles of toiletries in the bathroom. Even if they were Molton Brown.

An excellent stay to celebrate a wedding anniversary.
Pros:

The hotel is beautifully rambling with gardens running down to the river. The fairly new restaurant overlooking the gardens was excellent. Every member of staff was extremely friendly.

The restaurant food was good and served hot.

Note had been taken that we were celebrating a wedding anniversary; we were given a splendid table for dinner and a decorated plate/sweets after our meal marking the anniversary. Small things maybe but much appreciated.

Beautiful hotel and grounds with outstanding views.
Pros:

The hotel and gardens and the view were wonderful. The staff were excellent, charming and professional. Food super.

Cons:

Our room (no 23 ?) was characterful and attractive. But it had a few problems. There was no mirror in front of the basin in bathroom so difficult for my husband to shave. To get to a plug socket I had to climb under the shelf where the kettle and and tea/coffee facilities were. The stairs directly outside the room door were very tricky. We were fine but an older person would have found it dangerous.

Adorável surpresa
Pros:

O local onde o hotel está situado já vale a visita: uma casa que data do século 12 ao lado de uma igreja medieval, em frente a um rio. A decoração interna nos remete a uma casa de campo. Os quartos confortáveis e bem decorados. O café da manha a la carte, típico ingles com produtos locais. O atendimento dos funcionários nota 10.

Cons:

Gostei de tudo.

Outstandingly perfect!
Pros:

This place was exceptional,lovely location,gorgeous room,spotlessly clean ,lovely staff ,outstanding food !
We spent a night here had three course dinner,breakfast and returned to have afternoon tea in the pod by the river for our 2 friends birthdays.There was a little bit of anxiety on the staff part about us having enough room in the pod but it was fine we had lots of space and could easily of fitted 6 for afternoon tea.it was just what I wanted a more private quiet space to enjoy🤩The meal was outstanding on every level! one of the best meals I’ve ever had and although the hotel is a high end place it’s not snobby and actually very down to earth and ,chilled and has such a relaxing atmosphere.The staff in the restaurant were amazing! Nothing was too much trouble and they were super friendly.I/We will be back soon …can’t wait! …keep up the good work your all amazing!

Cons:

Nothing!*****:)))
