i only ate in the restaurant with friends - in the past I have Tuna Nicoise - very good and included fresh Tuna. Last time I ordered its become a tin of ( IRISH - Great) Tuna in mayo with lettuce - what a down grade - sad to say a very poor imitation of what was very nice. What a ripoff

Booked two rooms for my husband and I and our grandaughters. Rooms were lovely, clean and well-furnished. Would have been nice to have had some products, bath gel, shampoo and conditioner, but we used the liquid hand soap. Food in the restaurant was good and reasonably priced. Breakfast was good with a decent choice. All in all a successful stay. We would return.

If Poundbury is your destination the location is perfect. The room was comfortable, sadly with a maintenance issue, good size nice view and a mattress which prevents bed bugs which is very reassuring. We ate both breakfast and dinner her with both being very nice. Although the dinner menu could be a little more exciting? The cocktail list was fun. The breakfast menu was a lovely mix of hot and cold just the thing to set you up for a busy day. There is a choice of two areas to eat quite and lively so pick which one is right for you. The one defect was a leak in the shower, which wasn't new so I've reduced what should be a five star review. But I'd certainly go back.

Friendly efficient check in. Good room service from a very cheerful young team. Excellent breakfast. All in a lovely unique setting with lovely walks straight out of the door and superb beaches a short drive away.

It’s very nice, if you can find it. On Sunday there are no buses into Poundbury so you have to walk through the development. There’s minimal signage and few people around to get directions. The B&B itself is quite nice and my room,#8, was quiet with a view for miles over the countryside. Ideal location to catch the local bus to Lyme Regis.

We had an excellent stay however the room was not as clean as we would expect. The toilet was very stained at the bottom and the furniture had not been cleaned thoroughly. There was lots of dust.

We have stayed here a few times now and always enjoy The Hotel Bedrooms Beautifully presented very comfortable Beds Bar and Restaurant service excellent Staff are always friendly and welcoming Thank you we will come again soon

Experience at the hotel was marked by its stunning beauty and convenient free parking amenities. However, the check-in process left much to be desired. Despite the bustling atmosphere at the pub entrance, where main check-ins are conducted, the wait to be attended to was longer than expected. Moreover, discovering that the room wasn’t ready added to the frustration, culminating in a significant delay well past the official check-in time. This hiccup, following a lengthy journey, marred an otherwise promising stay. The room itself boasted delightful views and thoughtful touches such as complimentary tea and coffee, enhancing the overall experience. However, the serenity was disrupted when the fire alarm sounded during the stay, causing understandable concern. Compounding matters, the following morning brought disappointment as the stoves were non-functional, depriving guests of a hot breakfast. These unforeseen issues detracted from an otherwise enjoyable stay, highlighting areas where improvement is needed for a seamless guest experience.

We stayed in room 3 for one night. There are good and bad points. Hence the average score based on the price and expectations. Good - we liked the decor and the quirky touches like the kettle, radio, night lighting, pillow options and air con. The bed was comfortable. Poundbury has nice shops (gallery / garden centre) and cafes nearby including a handy Waitrose. Parking was convenient. Bad - we had to ask twice to be given shower gel. There are no phones in the room which meant going downstairs twice to flag which was annoying after a long drive when we wanted a bath and had already flagged this 3 hours earlier. We expected face cloths in the room and both myself and my husband slipped getting in and out of the bath so think they should have non slip mats. Food wise we were underwhelmed - especially at breakfast. There were no bowls or plates out for fruit and no jams,marmalades, honey etc on the table. All the food felt like it had been thrown in the deep fat fryer and was greasy. For both breakfast & dinner we had to flag staff to serve us. We paid nearly £180 and think we would have got a nicer breakfast and room at a b&b for half the price. Sure the bedroom was nice but the bathroom hadn’t been properly cleaned - there was a huge hair on the tiles, stains on the ceiling, one of the taps was missing the cold button sign. Little things but when you’re paying a luxury price you expect more. In short I wouldn’t stay again as I feel it was over priced.
