My partner and I had such a lovely stay here. The room was so lovely and modern and such great value for money. The staff were super easy to deal with and warm and welcoming, and the main strip and seaside are a very short walk away. Highly recommend!

From

All staff were delightful - very welcoming, helpful and efficient. Beautiful, grand building and great location at the foot of Corfe Castle. We enjoyed inventive fine dining in the restaurant (at fine dining prices, of course) both evenings...flavours and presentation were superb. Our room and en suite bathroom were impeccably clean with none of the shabbiness that is often a feature of older hotels.

    Everything! The gardens were beautiful and the views were amazing. The artwork and artefacts were exceptional. We particularly loved the collection of shells. We had some lovely meals sat at the big round table. The shower was fabulous and the house was warm, the beds were super comfortable. The location was brilliant - a few minutes walk down into town and a 10 minute drive to Knoll beach. Absolutely perfect for a family holiday with 4 kids and a dog!
