It was wonderful, the bed was incredibly comfortable and real value for money with the breakfast, we would definitely come again. The only down side was that the car park was a bit hit and miss, a lot of the space said no parking.

A unique and charming place by the sea. The position is everything here and it is a delight to sit on the terrace with a drink looking at a Riviera view through the pines to Studland bay. Smart room, lots of varied public spaces. Great for children (though we didn't come with ours!) and a very good breakfast.

The hotel is very "tired" and needs a lot of love and attention. Our meals at the hotel were good and the reception staff were good. The waiting staff in the restaurant were pleasant snd helpful. The hotel is close to Knoll Beach which is sandy and lovely.

Excellent location but very busy road directly outside. Evening food was very good but breakfast less so. Hotel decor was a bit tired and paying extra to use the outdoor pool felt wrong and something we had not encountered anywhere else. The price felt expensive for what was provided.

The hotel’s public rooms maintain a faded charm of times long gone, but the bedrooms and bathrooms are modern, well equipped and functional. The setting overlooking the coast could not be bettered - and enjoying it whilst tucking into an excellent buffet breakfast was great. We will definitely return.

Lovely location, great staff especially in the restaurant. Room was clean and tidy but finish was slap dash in bathroom. Little things like a wonky splash back, poorly laid floor tiles and film over windows looked like it had been ripped. Whole place needs some investment to bring it back up to standard, that said, it was spotlessly clean, comfortable and welcoming and we would go back.

From the moment we arrived the staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The food was excellent. The lovely dinners made the stay special. Our room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The only negative was that the WiFi in our room was not good and kept dropping off.

Location and look of hotel were super. Dinner was excellent on each night of my stay, staff friendly and helpful, bed linen and towels spotless. However, the room and bathroom felt a little uncared for. I had to make my bed each day and neither the room or bathroom were cleaned during my 3 night stay, ditto china cups for tea/coffee. I only expect to do these things if self catering in all honesty. It was fine for a short stay but the hotel was very large and the emphasis is very much on being dog and family friendly so I don't think I'd go back for those reasons.

Nice character and quirky but very tired property. Room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was a trip back in time and whilst functional, it needs replacing. The main hotel was comfortable and very relaxed and extremely dog friendly, which suited many guests. The food and service was very good.
