Perfect Stay

Stayed with my friend for a girly night away. Perfect spot for an overnight break. Close to both Swanage and Studland and also Wareham. The Castle is worth a visit and at the same he right time of year, step on the steam train. Very hospitable staff, great twin room overlooking the square.

Characterful

Characterful Inn with friendly staff in the heart of the village. Fabulous food. Location is a bonus but as a result also a lot of traffic noise.

Chris, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Wonderful character hotel with central location and the really welcoming staff. Breakfast was just wonderful. Sadly the only downside was that we didn’t sleep as located right on the main through road, church clock chimes hourly, noisy pelican crossing right outside the windows and early deliveries - but none of this can be helped.

The hotel is located in a great location. It has an excellent pub, with another excellent pub almost across the street for variety. It is a short walking distance to Corfe castle as well as an historic railway.
