Our hotel is very much run as a family affair and we will make you feel at home with our genuine hospitality.
When you choose to stay with us over other country house hotels Dorset offers, you will find our hotel accommodation Dorset to be comfortable and luxurious. In the main house, our six very comfortable bedrooms include an impressive, yet charming gallery of family portraits, typical of fine Jacobean houses of this period. The view from these rooms overlooks the lovely gardens and stunning surrounding Dorset countryside.
A further ten extremely spacious rooms, some with window seats overlooking the garden and river, can be found in the beautifully restored, natural stone barn. Four of these rooms have access to car parking and welcome guests with dogs, making them ideal for a holiday with your furry friend. Two of the courtyard rooms also have access for the less abled, meaning everyone can enjoy one of the best country house hotels Dorset has to offer.
In your room, you will find home-made shortbread biscuits and tea and coffee facilities. You will also find everything else you would expect from fine Dorset country house hotels, such as a phone, TV, hair dryer, and Wi-Fi.
These smaller double rooms are very pretty and cosy, each with a window seat overlooking our lovely gardens. Part of the delight of these rooms is that they are off the period gallery in the main house.
These two large, classic rooms are also in the main house off the period gallery. One has an en-suite bathroom and the other has a large, entirely private bathroom with a huge Victorian bath.
All of these very large and spacious rooms have en-suite bathrooms with baths and showers, ideal for families with small children. Two are in the main house and have luxurious Victorian baths. The remaining ten rooms surround our splendid topiary courtyard in the beautifully renovated barn. Four have access to parking with dogs allowed, while two have wheelchair access, aids in the bathroom and are on the level.
