It is okay, but could be so much better.
Pros:

the staff are great, but very stressed and overworked, so they do not have much time to interact with guests and diners. Very good coffee in the morning, and while I only had light dinners on a few nights, it was good.

Cons:

The housekeeping is okay, but again I feel they are stretched and do not have time for consistent, thorough cleaning, (see pictures). The "blackout curtains in the bedroom are not fitted properly, and therefore not really blackout at all.
The courtyard dining are is pleasant enough, but it is not cleaned properly and on several occasions I had breakfast there, with plates and glasses still there from the night before. Nobody ever cleaned the ashtrays and they were always overflowing. Very unsightly at any time.
Maintenance is somewhat lax and it needs some care to fittings and furniture, some corridor areas had dead insects on window sills for the full (4 day) duration of my stay.

One night stay, property needs some TLC! Also the gardens!
Pros:

Nice selection for the continental breakfast!

Cons:

Full English, awful, swimming in oil, which you could smell. It looked good, however I couldn’t eat any of it! Disappointing!

Ideally placed but in dire need of a spruce up and spring clean
Pros:

Used this hotel while visiting family in the Verwood area. Very conveniently placed just off of the main A-road for the area

Cons:

The room had not been suitably cleaned. Empty toiletries from the previous guests, and the soap in our bathroom hadnt been restocked. The windows in the hallways hadnt been cleaned in weeks. Black mould on the seals of our room windows. The dining room seating was rickety or torn and tired.
