Top Hardy's Cottage Hotel Reviews

The Frampton Arms

10/10 Excellent

"Had a one night stay here in room 9 really lovely place, good sized room, comfy bed, good shower! We didn’t eat here but the food smelled and looked delicious, we had a drink in the bar which was lovely. Breakfast was a bit disappointing as it was just continental which I don’t normally mind but the croissant and other pastries were the packet ones which in my opinion are a real let down and also only white bread for toast which I wouldn’t normally eat. I will definitely stay here again though as all the staff I encountered were lovely, very accommodating and extremely helpful."

The Casterbridge

"Lovely place. Spotless and comfortable and great breakfast."

The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

"Lovely clean large room. Great tv with a superb picture. Plenty of tea / coffee and biscuits welcome tray. We were surprised how quiet our sleep was, the pub below was busy but no sound from it. The decoration of the whole venue is incredible with so much to look at. There is a lot of car spaces but the area is very busy so it’s a bit of a search to find one."
