Pros:

This was by far the best B&B we stayed in during our week long walk Lyme Regis to Poole. I suppose it was also the most expensive but worth it. Warm welcome, lovely room, amazing dinner and breakfast. Very helpful staff. The drink vouchers help the high price.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing.

Lovely quiet and beautiful property to rest for a night!
Pros:

The staff at The Castle Inn were super friendly and nice. We had an enjoyable dinner and breakfast at the property. Food was great too! The location is not in a sper crowded location near the beach, so if you like the peace and quiet, this is it!

Cons:

I don't think i can find a fault.

Cosy little spot worth visiting
Pros:

The staff are amazing, so friendly and lovely. The rooms are nice & the wine list exceptional.

Cons:

If I had to be picky, I’d say the dinner is a tad expensive & you dont get an itemised bill when it’s billed to your card. The shower tray also seems to overflow when taking a shower - but none of these were that problematic, lovely stay and lovely staff!

Lovely stay in Lulworth
Pros:

The staff were especially warm and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent. Room was a bit dark but in an old building with small windows to be expected.

Cons:

The number of dogs in the pub and eating area in the bar. Could patrons wishing to bring their animals for dinner not be accommodated outside?
