Very good, other than the...

Liked: Pub and gardens, and the location of the hotel with regards to our other destinations. We actually have stayed at the hotel on other occasions as my wife was born and raised in Blandford, but we now live in Canada.
Disliked: It was not clear at check in if breakfast was included. We were told it was served , and in what area but not it it was included in the rate.. We were quite surprised by the added costs of the breakfast charges when we checked out, especially as we only had a light toast breakfast on the last day.The gardens were great, but unfortunately smokers often lit up and it ruined the experience of the surroundings. .

Good hotel in prime location.

Liked: Location, staff, who were friendly and helpful. Car parking was excellent. Food very good.
Disliked: Not enough variety of fruit at breakfast. No vegetarian option for breakfast, offering vegan is not the same at all.

Very nice little town, just...

Liked: The staff are very friendly. It’s in a lovely town with a great location.
Disliked: We were staying in room number 10, it was unbearably hot and stuffy, we couldn’t open the window no more than 6 inches, on the hottest day of the year, I’ve never done this before, but I could not sleep in the room so in the middle of the night I got up and went and slept in my car

Exceptional

Liked: Absolutely everything: the staff were wonderful: approachable, courteous and very helpful. The hotel, accommodation, facilities... ok, I won't bore you further. This is one, if not the best hotel I have ever stayed in. And I have travelled extensively in Europe and the States. I absolutely loved it. And when I'm Dorset way again, I won't hesitate to stay there again. In fact, I can't wait to return. Thank you.
Disliked: Nothing. Loved it
