The Frampton Arms

8/10 Good

"On arrival, mid afternoon on a Saturday, bar tables were not cleared or wiped plus the floor could of done with a good sweep, on booking in we found the room to be of a good standard, we had dinner in the restaurant and the food was excellent, but again on getting refill drinks we had to ask for the used glasses to be removed. Coming down to breakfast Sunday morning, everything was great, the young man on duty making sure tables was cleared and wiped, breakfast items replenished and fresh coffee maintained, Well done him, Sundays roast was good but Monday morning things could of been a lot better, I asked if there was any tea spoons, and one was produced from behind the bar, sadly breakfast items were not replenished , and the area was not kept clean or tidy!!! Well done to the guy who did breakfast Sunday morning, 30/8"

"Really great find, perfect for visiting Durdle Door - only a 10 min drive away. Lovely en-suite room and bonus that there were 2 twin beds through a connecting door as was expecting a double sofa bed. Staff were always on hand to help and check in was efficient (accommodating a late check-in for us). Really nice touch having a fridge on the landing with fresh milk and a choice of nightcaps! Only wish we had more than 1 night here. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!"
