Really nice place to stay with extensive grounds all well looked after. Great staff. Played golf and used the indoor pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. Also liked the games room - table tennis and pool table both top quality. Would certainly return and recommend. 👍

They know house is a lovely old quirky hotel with a lot of history. We love coming down with our dog. The beach is just across the road. There is a lot of wildlife around and a lot of the area is owned by the National Trust. It is lovely and clean and just a delight to keep going back to And the food is also good.

The property has a rich history in the area, and the location is fantastic for Studland beach and surrounds. The staff were great. The rooms and property are dated, but add to its charm. Dont expect a modern experience and be prepared to embrace the history and you wont be disappointed.

This was my 3rd visit. The hotel is like home from home, it has a lovely atmosphere. The staff couldn't be more helpful, the building is old and they do a good job of keeping it clean. Nothing seems to be too much trouble.

Traditional and quirky. Could do with updating and furnishings could do with renewing and a lick of paint all over inside and out. It would be a great shame to change the feel of the hotel. It’s in a beautiful area which would be spoilt if the look of the outside was radically modernised.
