Stayed over a long weekend, made fantastic by a rare sunny and hot burst of good weather. The hotel has a good position, angled to the main square of the town, which is mainly red brick Georgian.

Breakfast is very good, although service a little slow (not unusual for Dorset!) We had our function in the hall at the side... more
