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!*****:)))

Fantastic Find in Dorset!
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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).

The hotel is set up for the elderly customer and has no atmosphere.The staff were all great but it feels like an over st
Pros:

The property was beautiful and well designed.

Cons:

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.
