The Ollerod

Beaminster very nice. Ollerod hotel...

Liked: Breakfast was ok. Nice selection of winter berries to go with yogurt. Sourdough bread very nice. seating areas in the conservatory with nice view of garden. Very friendly server at breakfast. Nothing too much trouble.BEDROOMAbsolutely filthy mattress with several huge urine stains plus other smaller stains. YUK, JUST YUK!!. We couldn't speak to the landlady as she was rarely there. We should have refused to sleep in the room, but understand they didn't have another twin room., We had very personal reasons to sort out while down in Bridport, and we had to be in Beaminster because it is very local to where we were spending the daytimes, so we couldn't take a hotel further away, sadly. It was a shame because the bedroom itself looked nice and clean and comfy.... OBVIOUSLY JUST TOP SHOW BEDROOMOur room was located on the ground floor with the kitchen wall adjacent to our bed headboards, and the outside kitchen door was attached to our room next door. A Ridiculous place to have a bedroom, as no kitchen is ever going to be quiet.The kitchen staff were using an outdoor fridge across the car park. This resulted in the staff going in and out constantly, banging the door going out and coming in again. All this was right by our heads so no option of an early sleepPARKINGSmall car park took about 8/9 cars. Customers also using the car park for the bar and restaurant which resulted in guests who had booked rooms not being able to park when they got back. We were there for 3 nights and each evening had to wait in the carpark for over half an hour for someone to come out so we could use their space.
Disliked: THE BED WAS DISGUSTING The coffee was too strong and undrinkable for both of us.
