The property was in character with the area and is in itself a fine building. Interesting inside with its multi-levels. Staff and service was excellent - all very helpful and attentive. Lucky with the weather sitting outside looking across the square was really great and our party of 10 had a very relaxed and interesting stay.

Great, well decorated rooms with a decent size TV, comfortable bed and powerful shower. I had a double aspect room with lovely views along the streets. Evening food was fairly basic, but reasonably priced and good quality, as was breakfast. The multi level dining area/bar is really well presented with a large central staircase and outside seating is also good. Overall a very good stay.

An interesting project. Hotel very good but Dinner Menu very limited. However this resulted in finding two excellent restaurants! Not easy to find shops in Poundbury as obviously any hoardings are not allowed.

We had a lovely stay here and would return again. Staff were friendly, polite and attentive. There was a good selection for breakfast and all the meals we had during our stay was excellent. Our room was great, with a nice cosy theme. The bed was too firm for me and my partner, though that is down to personal preference and no fault of the hotel. The hotel is in a quiet location in lovely surroundings with plenty to do in the surrounding areas. Highly recommend staying here if you want to explore Dorset.

A hotel we look forward to revisiting

On arrival we were advised that Unfortunately the hot water system had failed with this information it was our decision to stay. The hotel management and staff could not have been more helpful. The weather played a major factor in our terminating our stay a day early Again the management were very understanding we will return as everyone has left a memorable impression.
