Lovely experience, been to west bexington a few times but never stayed but now i have i wouldnt stay anywhere else. Lovely staff nice breakfast and a nice comfortable bar to unwind in the evening. As we were there for a fishing trip was ideal for access to the beach and so peaceful at night so a good sleep was great.

The hotel was amazing. The views, the rooms and the food (extra helpings were had). And the staff actively went out of their way to cater to our every need.

Location is beautiful and the accomodation was full of character. Food was lovely, we had a selection of starters for dinner and breakfast in the morning (broccoli with breakfast was an interesting touch). The only real issues with the room were that it felt quite small being up in the eaves, wouldn't have managed 2 nights in the small space. There was a seaview, beautiful, but had to stand and look through a small window to see the views. The shower head really needed a very good clean, it was black! Some attention needed in places but otherwise a pleasant stay.

Lovely old quiet country hotel with beautiful gardens and views. Very short staffed on arrival but all friendly & helpful. Comfy room & beds, crisp sheets. Beds made up each day. Bottled water, towels, shower gel/shampoo, hairdryer all supplied. Fabulous shower. Tea/coffee in room too. Only thing missing were some coasters. (Dont like putting hot mugs directly on furniture.) The carpet had seen better days, but all in all a lovely room. Delicious choice of breakfasts & evening meals beautifully cooked. The perfect relaxing seaside break we needed. Would definitely stay again 👍.

Stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed it very much. Hotel dates back to the 16th Century and therfore has no lift so if infirm or have mobility issues beware, some steps are quite step. Room was clean, loads of storage and had wonderful sea views all round. Free tea ,coffee and water were a plus. Breakfast had a wonderful selection and the full English was fantastic. Service was quick, fuss free and friendly throughout our stay. Large free car park . Set in a small hamlet with no shops or facilities as such so don't expect Blackpool! . Peace and quiet the order of the day (and night). great as a base to explore the surrounding area, beaches and towns. A car is a must because of the distances and hills. Good road access to all of Dorset. Highly recommended.

We booked without much research at the last minute for a one night stay. Welcomed on arrival by Jordan, who later served us at the bar, in the restaurant and at breakfast. He has just the right mix of great customer focus with informality and a sense of humour (Yorkshire tea is DEFINITELY not the best in the world!). The building is old, so is bound to have a few quirky elements, but our room had a very comfortable bed and a powerful shower and even a painted bathroom floor. The view from our room (and pretty much everywhere else) was great, across the fields to the sea. Had dinner in the conservatory and enjoyed it, especially the cod recommended by Jordan. Would definitely return, and hope to do so.

An amazing location with beautiful grounds and stunning views. Quiet and tranquil. The staff were all good and couldn't do enough to help. Food both dinner and breakfast were of excellent quality and extremely tasty. The property itself was clean, quirky, old world and in a reasonable condition, some of the decor tired looking. Only small gripe was the bedroom was tiny, as was the en-suite, think mobile holiday home size! Fine, if you literally just want a bed to sleep in.The bed however was extremely comfortable. Had we been staying longer, we would have asked for a bigger room.

We had a great 2 night stay and were made welcome. Beautiful views. Great location as it is quiet. Food was very good. We ate an evening meal and also breakfast. Lots of choices. The room walls must be quite thin as could here a TV in another room through the bathroom but was not a problem as it was early evening. The bathroom had a small step up to it and was a great shower. We stayed in April and the rooms were cosy and warm.

We were celebrating our Ruby anniversary. The hotel was lovely and we were greeted warmly. The room was spot on and we opted for one with a sea view. The room was large with a very comfy bed. The bathroom had a very big shower which was nice. The towels were lovely and soft. The food was excellent. We had a meal in the conservatory in the evening. Breakfast was also good with plenty of choice. We would stay there again.
