10/10 Exceptional

Quirky room and old hotel but great central location, easy parking and view of castle from the garden. Check in at the bar meant we had to wait as an order for 11 drinks was being taken ahead of us and only 1 person available. Comfy beds, good shower and the busy road quietened down overnight.

Corfe Castle is a ruin run by the National Trust
Interesting place to explore but steep path and steps.

Great staff, food first day was very good, great location for castle and reasonable prices. Good selection behind bar. A bit tired looking, and facilities need an upgrade. New owners in place since end of August, so I’m sure improvements will be made. Would still stay again if in the area
