The staff were lovely and breakfast very good. Even the beans were hot. However the door as you go in to your room is shabby looking, as was the skirting boards. Carpet was stained and paint on the lights. It just needs some TLC. Such a pity when it has everything else. I think when it is classed as a manor you expect a bit better. Saying all that the staff were lovely and the area beautiful.

Nothing is too much for you as a guest. Millie and Matthew run a very tight ship and it genuinely makes a difference. Don’t hesitate to book.

This was our 4th stay at the Manor House over the years. Loctaion still brilliant though terrace & lawns rather spoiled by the pub-style tables that have now been dumped all over the place. I’d say it’s now more of a pub with rooms rather than a destination. Yes they’re well geared up for weddings and stuff but not for the discerning Dorset traveller. Food and decor all a bit tired. Overall, disappointed. There are now many better places to consider.

“Bridal suite” ?
We asked for the best room when booking and were allocated the “bridal suite” . Sadly it was in desperate need of a refurbishment. Paint peeling and carpet moth - with moths active at night. More of a “divorce suite” . We were moved to the top floor for our second night. Smaller but clean and ecorated with good carpets. Service was good. Food good and location good. Just needs the main bedrooms upgrading

We had a very comfortable overnight stay at the Manor Hotel. Our room was well equipped and very clean and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast this morning. The service was welcoming and friendly. The menu for lunch and dinner was wide ranging and the quality high. We would like to return sometime soon.
