Reviews and Ratings
I was lucky to find a single room with a super comfortable bed in the cellar, beautifully presented with great attention to detail. The staff were friendly and efficient, making me feel right at home with their excellent service. The location was ideal, just a short stroll into the high street but still peaceful for a good night's sleep. The dining experience was delightful with a delicious fruit salad and coffee in the beautiful courtyard garden. A well-rounded stay that offered great value for money.
The hotel was beautifully clean and a nice size for the 2 of us and the 2 dogs. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and tidy, although a little dated. The service from the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of the local area, making us feel welcomed and accommodated. The location was excellent for getting around by foot and car, with convenient access to dog-friendly beaches and fantastic walks. The dining experience was delicious with a tremendous choice of local produce, and the facilities were great for our stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, with great little touches that made all the difference. However, my room on the top floor had limited headroom due to a sloping roof, making it a bit awkward to move around. The service was excellent, with attentive staff who went above and beyond to make our stay special. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the center of Bridport with easy access to the beach and local attractions. The dining experience was top-notch with plenty of choices and high-quality ingredients.
