Very comfortable and well kept room. Ample size, quiet and with everything we needed. We ate in the restaurant each of our three evenings and everything was well prepared, very tasty and LARGE! Service was very good and always with a smile. We both loved the continental style breakfast too. All the staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. The location of the accommodation was perfect, being well placed for trips to all our usual, and oft-visited haunts including Dorchester, Wareham and Swanage. We will definitely stay there again.
