Nice, clean room, very good supply of hot drinks ingredients. Everything you need for short break. Could do with a new shower head, but was ok. Restaurant got busy, glad we booked. Lovely restaurant setting, food was really good. The staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful. A really good location for exploring that part of Dorset.
