The double room was immaculate and i loved the soft lighting. the mini bar offered good treats. I particularly enjoyed the artisanal chocolates. the bed was so comfortable, it reminded me of sleeping on a cloud. i appreciate how close the hotel is to the beach too. It.

perfect location delicious dinner superb breakfasts untidy stairs dog smell reception area
The location was perfect as we were attending a Wedding nearby. We also had time to explore Sandbanks on foot after arriving. We had a delicious dinner one evening and two superb breakfasts. It is one of the best places I have ever stayed in. Faultless!
When we arrived there didn't seem to be a reception area. The landing and stairs smelled of dogs and looked untidy. There was a dog barking in the room opposite ours when we arrived..
