8/10 Very good

The property was fine, on a busy corner but well sound not a problem inside the room which. was of good size, breakfast was good and parking was easy, with plenty to see around the village, all in all a very good few days

10/10 Exceptional

A great place for a short stay. The hotel is itself an historic building and the hotel is well run.

Would recommend

The hotel is beautiful with lovely views. The room was also very pretty and my daughter loved that she had an adjoining room with a separate door. The food in the restaurant was also very good but took time to bring condiments. The mattress on the double bed was really thin and not the comfiest but the single bed was super comfy. As the room was hot we opened the window slightly but this did mean we got a lot of traffic noise and the sound of the church bell on the hour every hour. Regardless, I would recommend this as a lovely place to stay.

Jeremy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Check in staff member was extremely helpful as we had a problem which she sorted quickly. Rooms are a good size with very efficient showers.
Pauline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely friendly place with perfect location

This place has excellent friendly staff, the food is very good allbeit a limited menu if you are looking for something healthy! The room was large clean and comfortable, the only criticism was the tired looking shower room, where a lick of paint on yhe walls would clean it up and removecthe mould around the outside of the shower tray, just a replacement of silicone would change everything in that room. But overall a lovely place in an excellent location and will be vising again

1 night in Corfe

Vegetarian breakfast was brilliant! But equipment in room didn’t work well! WiFi didn’t work on 2nd floor where we were. Kettle kept turning on and off on its own! Great views from our 2nd floor room! Easy parking.
Jonathan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was very hot. There was no fan or AC. The room was on the front of hotel and there was a busy road outside which was noisy and so it wasn't an option to open the windows. However the food was very good.
Nigel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A nice stay at The Bankers Arms

We were very happy with our stay at The Bankers Arms. The staff were very friendly. We also enjoyed meeting new people.
Lockie, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

First impressions were good. It's an old property in a unique location. The property has only just changed hands and I appreciate that there's always loads of stuff to sort out.. BUT.. we did not have any hot water or shower on the first day ( it was a very hot day too) I think the new owner was just a little bit stressed. The rooms are a bit tired but I'm sure they'll sort this, Comfy bed. Breakfast was good but we would have appreciated some more choice and fresh fruit. Good coffee though. Friendly staff too.
