    small room
    no luggage racks

    The charm and character of the place was amazin. The super nice team and friendly. Breakfast was yummy and the rooms were clean and comfy for our 2 nights. A great vibe in a lovely area.

    Only thing i gotta complain about is no luggage racks available when asked. Our room was kinda small, so we tripped over our suitcases all over the place.

    peaceful room

    great strolls from the heart of wareham with plenty to explore

    the breakfast was delicious, and the peaceful room allowed me to recharge well for my walks, making it so easy to visit things like the Priory Church of Lady St Mary just a few steps away and enjoy the beautiful Hartland Moor National Nature Reserve almost 2 km down the road for fine views and natural beauty.

    Nice atmosphere with friendly staff. The food was delicious and the bar scene lively. Only downside, no luggage racks available when asked, made our small room feel cluttered.

    comfy bed
    modern ensuite
    clean bathroom
    tired decor
    lack of fresh air

    The Double Room was pretty comfy, with a modern ensuite that was super clean. It had all the essentials, and I liked that it overlooked the street. The decor could be more refreshed, but it didn't take away from the overall comfort. A nice stay, but the room decor could use a little love.

    exquisite dessert
    tired-looking room

    I recently stayed here for a night and was blown away by the fantastic breakfast, especially the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. The dessert was exquisite, too! The decor is cozy and charming. I'd definitely choose this spot again!

    cozy room
    delicious breakfast
    occasional noise

    The room was really cozy, and I loved the delicious breakfast spread that kept me fueled for the day. Relaxing on the sun terrace with some coffee was a highlight for me. I enjoyed the beautiful garden view. Just beware of the occasional noise from nearby guests, but it didn’t ruin my experience. ☀️

    Charming stay with a cozy vibe

    We spent a couple of nights at this cute hotel while visiting for a wedding. The staff were super friendly and our room felt clean and comfy. Only bummer was the small lack of space for our luggage. It turned the room into a bit of an obstacle course. The dining options were nice, with a bar/lounge area.

    charming hotel but lacking luggage solution

    The hotel had a lovely atmosphere with friendly staff who were always willing to assist. The cleanliness of our room was commendable, and the beds provided a great night's sleep.

    The absence of luggage racks made our stay a bit cumbersome.

    Charming stay with delicious food

    We had a lovely two-night stay while attending a family wedding. The room was comfortable and well-decorated, offering a good ambiance. The highlight was definitely the breakfast, with a splendid Full English option that was perfectly cooked. The limited room space made it challenging for luggage arrangements.

    comfortable mattress
    quality food
    early noise

    The room featured a comfortable mattress, a plus when you're hitting the road. An on-site restaurant serves high-quality dishes, with seafood options that are quite excellent, perfect for those with a hungry palate.

    The furniture moving and loud talking starting at 6:30 AM was an unwelcome wake-up call . Nothing like getting jolted awake. Breakfast timing is hit or miss, as I found cereals and juices cleared away well before the end of serving. Plus, trying to argue about meal charges upon checkout was a frustrating mix-up to deal with after a long stay.
