Staff were very helpful as my elderly sister suffers from dementia. The room was clean and well appointed, some areas were rather tired looking and in need of refurbishment. Great views from the bedrooms. Breakfast very good and catered for allergy problems.

1 night stay Durdle Door Hotel

We had a one night stop-over at the newly opened/re-opened hotel. There were a few issues with decor but overall the large, dog friendly double room was VERY comfortable
