First impressions not good. Basically shown to our room and left to get on with it. Not told about emergency procedures or if there was anyone on the front desk or who to contact.
Furnishings in the room were poor. The lampshade was broken as per the pics. One bed was loosely put together, kettle had seen better days and didnt switch off after boiling.
The wooden chairs were broken and the wardrobe was old and worn. Paint was peeling off the window sill. A shelf was missing in the bathroom over the sink and the toilet brush was very dirty.
And just to top it off the main light bulb was very dim and old and the room never got any sun so was very gloomy. A nice canvas of the lovely Dorset countryside would have looked a lot better than a fruit canvas.
We would not stay here again. Price per night was high and didn't include breakfast. Very disappointed.
Awful place, freezing cold, not hot water and we.were.told they are closing in 3 weeks, they really didnt care! Beware !! Food is awful, rooms smelly and cold, landlady is miserable. Avoid at all costs
Warm friendly greeting. Room looked pleasant enough but would not pass the "Alex Politzi" test. Dust on furniture, cobwebs in the grate, curtains hanging off poles (due to the type of rail). Towels on the bed not in the bathroom. Room was draughty and cold. We had to get a blanket from the car. Cold water ran hot when it eventually came through. Evening meal was basic but good quality and well cooked but several things on menu not available. Not informed there was no breakfast available, contrary to the website. Had to ask about breakfast and advised to go to the village shop. Village shop does not serve breakfast per se but was able to provide toast and tea/coffee. No customers in the restaurant or bar, we appeared to be the only ones in residence. This is a basic hotel catering for contractors and travelling salesmen, not what was represented on the website.
Bijzondere ervaring: op rijdagavond wordt er geen eten geserveerd, op zatermorgen is het ontbijt pas vanaf 9:00 uur. Dan zijn wij allang weer gevlogen. Weer een B&B zonder breakfast. De douche kregen we niet aan (vreemde constructie) en de deur kregen we niet op slot (ook een hele vreemde onbekende manier). Verder wel lekker rustig en pubachtig.
WellâŠ. The manager/host was a total dithering wreck. We soon were told that there was no breakfast even though breakfast was included in the price. The rooms were so out dated and needed attention everywhere. Paint flaking off walls, mould on the window sills. We were then advised that there really was no evening meal as there had been a family party ( their family) and he wanted to leave at 7pm, and didnât want to turn the friers on. The barmaid ordered us a Chinese locally which was nice for the price. The landlord was still there when we went to bed at 10pm. Very disappointed and would not recommend anyone else staying there.
Hotel is seriously dated, bathroom had mould and was generally not clean. No easily accessible power outlets and tv bolted flat to the wall so it couldnât be comfortably watched from the bed. Had to struggle with three separate blinds on the window - felt like Iâd had an arm workout by the time Iâd finished! - didnât block out the light or the draft. Cups were dirty and chipped. The keyring is so ridiculously large you canât fit it in a pocket - I know they need to try and stop people forgetting to leave them when they check out (I had to just dump it on the bar as nobody was around) but it was almost as big as the to remote!
Doesnât serve breakfast but this is not mentioned anywhere on the write up, hotelâs website or during communications or check in - itâs only mentioned on a notice on the wall in the room. The suggested cafe is a good 20mins walk away at a nearby school! Dinner is only available between 6-7pm (again, this is not communicated) and thereâs only two options for vegetarians - a ÂŁ13.00 lasagne or ÂŁ5.00 soup. I opted for the âhome cookedâ soup which turned out to be packet soup theyâd just added water to - bright yellow with about 3 tiny chunks of rehydrated carrot.
One of the worst places Iâve ever stayed in If Iâd been booked for more than one night I wouldâve cancelled the rest
