Unfortunately a disappointing stay, especially for the price paid. Had all the facilities and staff to be super promising but let down on the details - food was hit and miss, some good dishes and some way below the mark. The towels in the bathroom were stained, and the shampoo bottle was totally empty. Although not a super busy road, the road was extremely noisy in the bedroom and weirdly the tv kept turning on itself during the night, so not the best nights sleep. Having said that the staff were lovely, super friendly and very helpful.

No food - Chef off sick !!
Booked for a one night stay. Sign outside clearly stated meals available every day. Registered, went to our room (which was next to a very busy road but earplugs were left for us on bedside cabinets) which was nice, clean and with a large bathroom. Went down to the bar to order some drinks and whilst waiting to be served were told no food was being served that evening nor, indeed, no food had been served all day as the chef was off sick. When we asked where we could get something to eat it was met with a “sorry folks”, you could drive back to Wimborne. Decided that this was totally not what we wanted so decided to check out and travelled to Ringwood and booked into a Hotel there. Now cannot get any refund.

Do not stay here!!! Last night I stayed at The Hornton Inn. After arriving for business and going to change in my room, I stayed in Room 5 it was freezing cold, I asked a staff member if this could be looked at. It had two radiators neither on, a tiny electric radiator by the bed. (A red flag!) I left to have my meeting, came back and the room was still the same. The bedding was verging on damp, the walls very cold, neither radiator on. I returned to the bar to ask what could be done, as nothing had changed, the staff member text the manager, I suggested calling as it would be quicker, the manager claimed the central heating had been turned on but none of the radiators in the hall way or my room were warm. It appeared at breakfast I wasn’t the only guest who complained about the cold. After looking in three rooms with a staff member I receive a second tiny electric radiator. I had both on next to my bed that night and slept fully clothed with three tops on. It was shockingly bad and could not wait to leave in the morning! I have stayed at other nearby places that were cheaper and far better! Whilst the breakfast was ok, it is beyond understanding in an age of reviews and how easy it is to receive a bad review and damaged reputation that staff, managers and owners would not resolve an issue and make sure guests are happy. I gave my view when leaving but only received a very weak apology. It appears The Horton Inn is run on a shoestring and saves money where it can.
