The room was modern, clean, comfortable with some amazing amenities. The breakfast was fantastic. My only complaint would be all the banging around at 5am when the staff started work. I never got back to sleep after that rude awakening.

Popped in off the street for a coue of Pork Sunday dinners. Table service available and a really good sun trap of an outside eating area. Food was very nice indeed everything was very tasty and well cooked and presented. Especially loved the pureed butternut Squash.

Beautiful hotel, lovely cool courtyard with plenty of iced water on tap. Really lovely, helpful staff. We stayed for a couple of nights as part of a large wedding party and they bent over backwards to accommodate us. Nothing was too much bother for them and all our party thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Bull, despite the intense heat! We will be returning I'm sure.

I liked this hotel but it is not for anyone who is noise sensitive. The rooms look like on the website but the single rooms are super small. I heard every door, every step above and everyone in the beer garden. And because of that this would have been a 3 star review if not for the excellent breakfast which I loooooved. There is a small buffet of yoghurt, granola and juices and then you order from a menu. My soft scramble was so good, I still think about it. I also had the Sunday Roast which was also good.

A wonderful lunch, we all decide to have the daily specials. All were delicious, great value for money and we had three dogs with us and the staff could not have been more friendly or accommodating. They bring you complimentary biscuits for the dogs.

The Taj Mahal Bridport
20 East St, Bridport DT6 3LF, UK | Indian Restaurant P: 01308 421000
Rating: 4.3 (353) Price Level:
Recommended by a hotel employee and really wasn't disappointed. The restaurant is small and was packed. Felt sorry for staff as 2 had let them down. We had a good mix of bindhi bhaji, chicken Malaya, cheese and garlic naan and a king Prawn biryani. No point breaking each down as all were hot and tasty. They advertise as an authentic Indian restaurant. They haven't wasted time doing 100's of dishes. It is a focused well planned menu. We are oassing through but I thoroughly recommend eating here.

We are on holiday in West Bay and decided to order an Indian meal. It was delicious and delivered on time. We had lamb madras, a lovely garlic naan and chicken biryani which came with lovely vegetable curry with chick peas. It lasted us two days and we have good appetites! So good value. Highly recommended.
Rating: 5 / 5
We popped in on the off chance and were met with a friendly and warm welcome. The food was amazing... onion bhaji- 3 per portion! Chicken Korma was beautiful and cooked to perfection. Coconut rice, superb. Peshwari naan, delicious. Absolutely fabulous evening. Will definitely go again without hesitation. Thoroughly recommended.

Wonderful family run restaurant, beautifully cooked, delicious food and warm, friendly service. Always my top pick when visiting Bridport. Highly recommend. Best coconut rice!
Rating: 5 / 5
Wow, what a wonderful Indian restaurant. The food was out of this world. The service was also outstanding, and we didn't wait long for any of the food ordered. There was a lot of choice. We walked in around 6pm, but can imagine that this restaurant would be very busy as the evening goes on.

Hive Beach Cafe Burton Bradstock
Beach Rd, Burton Bradstock, Bridport DT6 4RF, UK | Seafood Restaurant P: 01308 897070
Rating: 4.3 (3779) Price Level:
This is a well loved beach cafe which has beautiful scenic views, it is very popular and rightly so. The menu is mainly fish and seafood dishes. However, they do a smashing full English breakfast up to 11.30 am. I will post pics. This dog friendly beach cafe has a carpark close by, but if you choose to walk along the cliff top path or the lower paths, you will walk within the most beautiful scenery. This is a totally table service venue, so once you are seated, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. Prices are reasonable.

Huge muscles in a nicely balanced blue cheese cream sauce. The fish chowder was also lovely, great tasting fish and fresh veg. We enjoyed on a wet and windy day, outside seating had heaters which warmed us up nicely. Would recommend after a walk.

Came here today, after walking from our campsite at Graston Copse through Burton Bradstock village. A warm welcome by a member of staff & shown to our outside table for 4 with 3 dogs. Our waitress took our drinks order & returned after a few minutes to take our food order. She was very friendly and attentive, giving time for a chat despite being extremely busy. Wait for our food was minimal and when it arrived it was hot, tasty & well presented. Back ground music was pleasant, giving the Mediterranean feeling due to the sunshine. Wouldn't hesitate in returning if we are in the area again .... thank you.

Camping at Freshwater holiday park, a 20 minute walk to visit this gem of a place. Busy and bustling restaurant, great menu, food was outstanding and the service was great too. Dog friendly aswell, all in all, will definitely be returning soon.
Rating: 5 / 5
We arrived at 11.20, just in time to order breakfast. We were lucky to get the table on the edge of the 'tent' overlooking the beach. Despite being quite busy we received very efficient service. The food arrived within 15- 20 min, then our hot drinks. We had 3 x full English and egg Benedict on muffin with bacon. Everyone enjoyed it. The only nuisance were a few wasps but not a lot to spoil our experience.

Had saturday lunch. Had burger and chips. It was delicious. Piping hot and plenty of it. It was busy but food came out quite quickly. Their FOH were great. Very friendly place and good value.
Rating: 4 / 5
Room very spacious and high quality room amenities. Staff very friendly and attentive. However, room sound proofing could be better. I could hear residents upstairs watching a movie! Great free breakfast menu with very good variety and quality breakfast to choose from. However, we were caught off guard by charges for coffee and juices that we ordered at breakfast!! Would have thought it would be part of the free breakfast, would have been good to be told of this when we ordered rather than finding out at checkout!! Convenient free parking but would have been useful to be given instructions before arriving where the free parking was. Would have been 5 stars if it wasn't for the suprise drinks charges!!

Lovely hotel. We stayed in the suite which was gorgeous and clean. Lots of space and comfortable bed. The bathroom was a generous size. The room could do with some light curtains as you can be seen from outside. Had to draw heavy blinds whilst changing which blocks out the light. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice except the coffee. I only drink decaffeinated beverages for health reasons. Unfortunately the decaf latte was shockingly bad. It wasn't a latte, just milky flat coffee. I like the taste of good coffee. Then proceeded to give me what appeared to be watered-down black coffee to add. It didn't take away from the stay and nice service but they need to train their staff how to make a decent cup of coffee. They need to add sufficient coffee beans and at a decent quality. All in all a lovely stay.

Pleased to find such a welcoming, comfortable proper pub. Fresh yet cosy decor and friendly, attentive staff. We enjoyed a light lunch of salt and pepper squid and whitebait, beautifully presented and delicious with nice extra touches to elevate it to a high standard. The garden is a pretty suntrap, with views to the cliffs.

What a wonderful place. I'm so very glad I went. We didn't pre book our meal, but the warm friendly staff managed to slot us in and have a table within minutes of walking in the door . Staff so amazing. Myself and family can't wait to go back again ..

We did not stay at the George but we came for a meal, we both had steaks which were cooked perfectly, the rest of the meal was also superb and the prices are absolutely fantastic for the quality of food you get. Staff were so friendly and helpful a big thank you to them for the service Highly recommend a visit if you are in west bay

Having a few days stay in West Bay we decided to visit The George for a drink, and a meal. Service was very good, with friendly staff, efficiently enjoying their job. The Palmers Ale "200" was on point, a bitter sweet smooth flavour with good taste. The food was very reasonably priced, The steak was cooked perfect The Scallops and prawns was just perfect 👌🏻. Definitely our sort of place, eell recommended

Can't really comment on the rooms as we were stopping at Parkdean. We thought we would give it a try one night and ended up eating most nights there. Excellent food, good portions, hot and delicious. Staff were very attentive, friendly and nothing too much trouble. Very busy all the time which I'm not surprised about but they always went out of their way to accommodate 7 of us each night. Can't recommend this place enough, absolutely brilliant. If we are down Dorset way again we will definitely be returning to The George.

Best coffee i've had in Coffee#1 just now. Hot, thick frothy milk and she even cleansed my reusable cup for me! its a f4 star however, as there are very few sockets - almost as bad as the Costa here🙄

Absolutely excellent in every way. The staff are always welcoming and friendly, however busy they are, and extremely efficient. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting - definitely my favourite place to go to , either alone or with friends. Thank you!

I enjoy visits to Coffee#1. Had a pot of tea this time and a flapjack. It was quite small and not worth £2.65. I know costs are high, but this was not value for money. It's a good place with a variety of seats and tables.
Rating: 4 / 5
Lovely iced coffee and coffee. Server was really friendly however the lady preparing the drinks seemed quiet harassed and not very friendly when asked if there was any straws and answered very stressful "we don't have any straws" no means of an apology or explanation. Found it quiet blunt and rude. Shame as the ambience was so lovely but would consider whether to return or not.
Rating: 5 / 5
Went in Costa first and it was so cold and lacking in atmosphere that we turned around and left, and walked up to Coffee #1 instead, and how glad I am that we did! Amazing atmosphere, wonderfully funny & welcoming staff, and the coffee’s delicious and very reasonably priced. Plenty of space and comfy chairs, dogs welcome, really lovely, we’ll be back!

Sundorbon Indian Restaurant & Takeaway Delivery

Rating: 4.4 (502) Price Level:
It was a delightful evening in the Sundorbon, the staff were all lovely, especially Beverly, who served our table. The food was super yummy, I really recommend the Tiger prawn Kolada. The kitchen will make it as spicy as you would like, so mine was flavourful and mild. I also had the Spick chicken masala Bhuna which out of all the dishes was my favourite. And for desert we shared a pistachio Kulfi. It was a smooth and perfumie ice-cream and I loved it. We tried all the nans my favourite was the coconut nan. I tried 5 mains and to be fair you couldn't go wrong. Highly recommended this restaurant 👌 👍

Rating: 4.4 (546) Price Level:
Gorgeous lunch with truly delicious food. We shared lots of the starters - standouts were the potted crab & lobster with soda bread & the cod roe's pate with focaccia slices. Then mains were all tasty but not as exciting as starters. To finish the treacle tart was one of the best I have ever tasted. The waiter was great and the gorgeous weather and view made it a perfect long lunch on Saturday. Would recommend to anyone who wants super fresh & local seafood and produce.

I can't comment on the accommodation as I only went here to dine - but, everything about the experience was really good! From the outside the building is neat, but not dramatic, but from inside the views are outstanding and the place is spotless. There's a very creative menu with excellent flavours, a good bar and lounge, and some of the nicest staff you'll ever encounter.
