Narrow entrance to car park with two prominent concrete boulders. Scraped front wing on arrival boulders are hidden from drivers view due to small turning angle so beware....rooms have not been updated for several years. Bathroom very small, shower in bath lacked pressure. Staff excellent, nice continental breakfast. Great location . Hotel full of character set in lovely grounds.

Purbeck house hotel is right in the town and close to everything. However, once inside and in the gardens, it is so tranquil, a perfect stay. Staff so helpful and friendly and meet requests and enquiries with a smile. Room was comfortable and clean and all you need for a stay. Varied continental breakfast, perfect. We will definitely return.

It's a beautiful old house and nicely located within walking distance of restaurants and pubs. Plenty of parking in the back. The staff are great - friendly and helpful. My only complaint was with the shower controls! After fiddling with them for quite some time, I finally managed to get water at a reasonable temperature to flow from the shower head rather than in the tub, but even now I don't think I could repeat the process.

A delightfully quirky (in the best sense of that word) hotel - a former convent and school - with many of the original features still intact. Easy to find, excellent parking facilities, and probably the most spacious breakfast area we've ever seen. Comfortable, quiet, and warm room - what more could you want?

Continental Breakfast was OK. Room in Louisa Lodge that was very quiet. But it was a short walk away up a slope (sometimes in the rain). Staff very friendly.
