Search Farmstay in Sturminster Marshall

"We had a beach view room - truly one of the best views we’ve had at a hotel before. I stayed with my partner and our dog. It was a trip for my birthday - I put this on the booking and when we got to the room they had put out complementary drinks, snacks and a plate with ‘happy birthday’ written on it with chocolate with a few chocolate dipped strawberries and a red velvet cupcake - a lovely touch! Overall a lovely hotel. However two things to note - dogs aren't allowed in all rooms - I called ahead to check before booking and was told dogs are allowed in all rooms, so booked a sea view room. I called to see if we could have the same room for both the nights we stayed (we used vouchers so had to make two bookings) and then just checked that the dog was also on the booking. This is how I found out that dogs in fact are only allowed in certain rooms. The hotel did honour the booking after discussion (I told them I was told we could stay in any room). Secondly, it’s £15 per day for parking (and we were told this was a discounted price) which I think is extortionate - I think parking should be included in the room price. Would stay again, but a few things to be aware of for future bookings! "

"Very Secure "

"Good "

"Lovely stay - lots to do, staff couldn’t be more helpful Only downside are the pool rules about children which extend to 16 year olds - who have to be booked in in children’s hours as if they are 4 "

"Hotel was very clean and staff are lovely. Pool area is nice when quiet. You can walk into the main area of shops and restaurants in around 10 minutes and 25 minutes to the pier. It would be nice if there was some fresh fruit available at breakfast, but otherwise the traditional breakfast was nice. "

"Lovely hotel could do with a refurbishment in reception and corridors but our room was lovely "

"The food, both breakfast and evening mealwas of good quality, tastyand well presented."

"It's a rare joy to find a hotel with in room controlled aircon. I'd rebook just for that! The hotel is a grand old place and parking is a nightmare. But it's well situated with a sea walk just yards from your door and a surprisingly quiet location close to town."
