Excellent Dorset Stop

We spent 9 days touring England by car and train. Overall the Frampton Inn and Pub was the best overall place we stayed and ate/drank at. It has an excellent restaurant and Pub. The best price for an Ale. The room was modern and even had AC if needed. All the staff were very nice and hard working. We will return someday.

ANNE, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fabulous hotel and pub. Perfect.
Helen, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Would have gotten 4-5 stars. But the noise levels going through the floor is bad. Went to bed, but could hear music, thought from outside as I didn't recall music in the bar. As I couldn't sleep, I went for a smoke. The music level down stairs was low. They really need to move the speakers and use sound dampening insulation. Was sort of expecting cooked breakfast which it wasn't. My son had a room at the other end of the building and said the same as me, except he had the train line there
Tim, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent short stay

The service from arrival to departure was exemplary. There's a great bar area and large dining space. Even though there a table of nearly 30 being served, the service and food was superb. Continental breakfast was good, with plenty of variety. Would stay again without hesitation.

Lovely place to stay and the Sunday meal was excellent.Only thing that let it down was we decided to go for a drink in the bar at 21.30 and it was closed.
