From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. Gillian is a wonderful host and also very friendly. Bradle Farm is away from the hustle and bustle of the normal places to stay and the feeling of tranquility hits you immediately. When you add to this the most wonderful breakfast, you'll realise this is the perfect place to say. Thank you Gillian, you made our weekend.

What a great little place my lady found. Couldn't fault anything. Warmly greeted, by the host Gillian, with a nice cuppa tea and a biscuit on arrival. Our room was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need,and more, for a short break. Lovely location to explore the beautiful Isle of Purbeck. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of it, full of the produce directly from the farm. Homemade conserves too, which were absolutely yummy. One of the best, if not the best, B&Bs we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. Throughly recommend. Thank you Gillian for a wonderful couple of days in your amazing place xx

Absolutely wonderful B&B with such nice hosts! We were hiking the Jurassic coast and came from lulworth that day. It’s an easy 20min walk from kimmeridge which Gillian drove us back for dinner to Clavells. Wonderful rooms and perfect breakfast.

My wife and I stayed here on a walking holiday and it was fantastic! The rooms are very nice with great facilities and the breakfast is excellent. Best of all, we were exhausted when we arrived so Gillian kindly offered to drive us to the pub and pick us up so we could get something to eat for dinner. Overall an excellent stay and would definitely go back!

Barton Cottage
Barton Cottage, Broadmayne, Dorchester DT2 8EB, UK | Bed & Breakfast P: 07947 358818
Rating: 5 (34) Price Level:
I travel a lot and put a lot of thought and effort into picking the right place to stay for a trip, because accommodation can be a huge factor on whether a trip is good or not. After doing a fair bit of research on where to stay for my Dorset trip, I picked Barton cottage, and it was a phenomenal pick. The rooms are beautiful decorated and cosy, the bathrooms are great and the village is lovely. Louisa is a chef and the food (breakfasts and treats in the room) are incredible! Super delicious. She is so welcoming, kind and helpful, really going the extra mile. Could not recommend highly enough!

We stayed here for a night with our dog in February 2024, room was beautiful and comfortable bed. Spacious and bright. The host was amazing very friendly and helpful. Towels for dogs paws and vegan options provided. We will hopefully be back for longer one day. Great location to explore the area
Rating: 5 / 5
The most amazing experience! I don’t even know where to start… The hosts (Louisa and Tom) are wonderful people, very kind and extremely welcoming. We really felt like we had a home away from home! As we were travelling with a baby we needed a few extras and Louisa was so accommodating and happy to help with anything. Breakfast is prepared by Louisa who is a chef - it was so delicious! The garden room and patio is beautiful and it has everything you need. Plus additional goodies such as tasty home baked sweets. The location is great and close to so many things to do and see. However, I would also always want to come back even if it was just for the BnB. Can’t recommend it enough. THANK YOU for everything, Lou and Tom! Hope to see you again soon.

We stayed at Louisa’s lovely cottage with my grandparents after a fleeting trip to Portland and it went beyond our expectations. The rooms are so lovely, exceptionally clean, cozy and stylish with a classic country feel to them. Parking was easy and Louisa was very easy to communicate with and had some great restaurant recommendations. The breakfast was delicious and we felt thoroughly welcomed. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the Portland/ Weymouth / Dorchester area.
Rating: 5 / 5
Although our visit was for business, the few hours we spent at Barton Cottage were superb. Beautiful room and Louisa went above and beyond to accommodate our early breakfast requirement - and what a superb breakfast it was. Thank you for making a very brief business stopover so wonderful!

We stayed a couple of nights in the gorgeous Kimmeridge room. One of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had in a B&B and Annette and Jerry were absolutely lovely. Highly recommend, we’ll definitely be back!
Rating: 5 / 5
Stayed a week in late Sept/23. One of the best B&Bs, a great location for walking the coast walk. Lots of things to see with 20 miles or so. The farmhouse and rooms have been done in a grand style beautifully. Everything is spotless and beds very comfortable. Annette and Jerry are lovely hosts. Excellent Breakfasts. Highly recommend

Clean, very comfortable rooms, super breakfast choice, wonderful location and a marvellous host - what more do you need?
Rating: 5 / 5
You will not find better or more comfortable bed and breakfast accommodation. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the furnishings are off top quality. Large selection of choices at breakfast which again is very good. This is topped off by the friendliness of the owners and their helpfulness with any queries you may have. There is also a restaurant opposite owned by the same family which again is excellent. It is located In a beautiful part of Dorset with many attractions nearby including the town of Wareham and the RSPB Reserve at Arne. Practically almost door is a newly opened 'Fossil Museum' all of which were collected locally by a local man.
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely place to stay within walking distance of Kimmeridge Bay and the coast path. Nice old traditional farmhouse with pretty garden. The hosts were friendly and easy going. The room was a good size, clean and welcoming, nice and simply decorated with views over the garden, cows in the distance. Comfy bed, good shower, tasty breakfast with lots of choice. Can't really fault it. Be aware that there's not much nearby in the way of shops or places to eat. Clavell's cafe / restaurant just over the road is nice but a bit pricey. There's a great little Mexican van by the carpark at the bay but that's it within walking distance I think.

Limestone Hotel

Rating: 4.7 (205) Price Level:
Great service from the young man who has worked here for over 7 years. Nice to see someone who is genuinely keen to provide service always with a smile and attentive to all diners. Food was of great quality and fresh ingredients used through dishes. The only disappointment was the cheesecake as it was still frozen.

Stayed for 2 nights at this stunning hotel. Faultless service. Beautiful rooms. Great location and the food was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Just returned after spending Christmas at Limestone had such a lovely time, food was excellent staff so nice nothing to much trouble, would definitely return.
Rating: 5 / 5
The hotel itself was in a picturesque location and on top of a hill. The view was so beautiful that I could sit outside in the terrace all day. Besides the location being prime location - the overall service from the hotel staff was exceptional. Each member was extremely friendly and kind. We loved our stay and would 100% come back again. The rooms were all in different themes which made it very personal and cosy. The food was also divine - especially the dinner menu.

I had lunch at the restaurant of Mortons Manor after a nice walk from Wareham to Corfe Castle. The hotel is located close to the entrance of the castle and has a parking lot, which is very useful in the small (and beautiful) town. The service was great and the food really good Also, prices are fair, particularly if you consider the quality of the ingredients. I definitely recommend this place.

Stayed 2 nights with hubby & our little dog Pippa & all 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Sue & her family who were so lovely & hardworking. We stayed in Room 7 which is the loft room where you have to mind your head climbing the last flight of stairs but it was quirky & didn't bother us at all. The room has a lovely sea view from the window & listening to the sea as you drop off to sleep is so relaxing. Breakfast was yummy & couldn't fault the choice. Perfect location & perfect hosts....thank you for a wonderful stay x

We had an amazing lunch here with family. Christian and Lucinda were amazing hosts and made us feel extremely welcome. Food is delicious and perfectly portioned. Lovely interior design and gardens.
Rating: 5 / 5
The most perfect stay at The Priory - I cannot recommend this beautiful hotel enough. The service provided was impeccable (attention to detail has been better than a few Michelin star restaurants we have visited) the food was absolutely delicious, we had afternoon tea which was sublime and breakfast on our balcony one morning which was wonderful, the rooms are stunning and the little details like getting a newspaper delivered in the morning is quite lovely. The grounds are also immaculately kept. It is not my first time visiting the priory and certainly won’t be my last, highly recommended! You will not be disappointed.
Rating: 5 / 5
We went for the Autumn lunch menu in the Garden Room to celebrate my wife's birthday. The moment we stepped inside we were greeted as old friends and this was our first visit! The lunch was superb and the service exceptional. The Priory Hotel should have at least 4 Rosettes. They deserve it. We shall be back since it is the best restaurant in Dorset.
Rating: 5 / 5
We went for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff were incredible. Great service and very knowledgeable about the grounds. Christian made us a strong, but very tasty negroni cocktail (as it was Negroni week being celebrated around the world). Food was wonderfully presented and tasted delicious. I couldn't fault it. Beautiful location. Thank you for making our day a bit more special.

Rating: 4.6 (346) Price Level:
We have stayed on a few occasions, but we also chose to have our wedding reception at this venue. Julie and her team where fantastic from the arrangements to the day. Food was exceptional and nothing was too much for the staff. Staff are always so helpful and the views from this venue are second to none. For a country side/historic retreat this is definitely one for you to seek. With breath taking views of countryside and the sea. You will have everything you need on your doorstep.

We’ve just checked out of The Courtyard after a one night stay and are super happy. From the staff to the rooms to the food to the location it was the most lovely stay. We stayed in room 4 the garden suite. We had everything we needed. It was warm and the bathroom had underfloor heating as well as a working towel rail. The toiletries smelt amazing to. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel and both were delicious. Aron was especially helpful and polite with a great sense of humour. We will be back for sure. Highly recommend for couples, families and dogs.
Rating: 4 / 5
Good value comfortable hotel and a good sized room. Very clean Close to the sw coast path (esp with current 2024 diversion to Kingston) Comfy bed. Good shower. Dinner and breakfast were fine. Some breakfast options had a supplementary cost. This was clear on the menu but I was surprised to be charged an extra 70p for a ham omelette when there was a plate of hand carved ham freely available on the buffet table and I was not having the bacon, sausage, beans etc that would have been included if I had the full English. This seemed penny pinching. Lighting in our room was very poor - Impossible to read in bed.
Rating: 5 / 5
Such a lovely place to stay. I just wish we could have stayed for longer. I love the rooms, the bed was so comfortable. The restaurant serves stunning food and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We would definitely stay again when travelling that way. I have recommended this place to my family when they go too

We had a one-night stay as part of a short trip to Dorset. Whilst for us the decor lacked a little, the room was very clean, as was the en-suite wet room. A highlight of our stay was the customer service for which they have won an award and we are not surprised. Dinner was tasty - we had some beautifully cooked cod - and the breakfast was good too. The location is excellent for Corfe Castle and the coast.

We came here for dinner and it was fantastic. The staff were lovely and super friendly, the atmosphere is bright but cozy and the food was gorgeous. I had the lobster and it was amazing. They have a few options for the non seafood lover, as well as great seafood options.

The service in this hotel is outstanding. Probably one of the best ones I have ever experienced. The room was lovely. Spacious and clean in calming colours. The food was delicious. Really tasty.

We have enjoyed 2 meals here and they were absolutely delicious. The service was impeccable with great waiting service and the food arrived promptly and hot. Fresh produce was clearly used. Lots of gluten free options or if you are intolerant but can eat sourdough then are also lots of options. It has a beautiful location. I would highly recommend here if you want good quality food.

Let’s face it, Lulworth cove is the main reason that gazillions of people come to this part of our lovely world, but in my honest opinion, the Lulworth Lodge, and its amazing staff, for us anyway, is the main reason for us to return. Flossie (front of house) is an absolute gem. Thoroughly knowledgeable about the entire menu, and absolutely charming too. And then the food…we had the Dorset crab rarebit between us to start, and it was by far the absolute best crab dish I have ever had! The flavour combinations and textures were truly sublime, using a small amount of pickled shallots to finish was an unexpected, but perfect addition, to cut through just enough, to leave a complete umami sensation that lasted. Amazing. We both chose the seafood linguine, and we both arrived at the same exact moment (like a couple of Japanese trains…) with the conclusion that this dish was absolutely perfect. Adding anything to the dish would have over-complicated it, and missing any ingredient would lessen the overall experience. The balance was spot on! We both fed-back how amazing we found the food, only to find that the chef Josh, started in the kitchen at the age of 16, and is only in his early twenties! A round of applause for this guy, as he was clearly thought well, but more importantly, he paid attention!! Just to finish, we had a special meringue to share, which was created by Drew. And fair play, it kept the standard flying high. Seriously, if we lived closer (we’re in Nottingham) we’d dine here as often as we could afford! Bravo team! We’ll be back, just for you guys!

We recently hosted our staff Christmas party at Lulworth Lodge, and it was spectacular! From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Their friendliness and professionalism made the entire evening run smoothly, and their warm hospitality added to the festive atmosphere. The food was sublime, and the cocktails divine! Lulworth Lodge, thank you for an unforgettable evening. We had the best time, and we’ll definitely be back again. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We very nearly didn't eat here because of some poor reviews but both the service and the food was excellent! We requested a quiet table as we had a dog and were seated in the snug area which was delightful. The food was delicious and there was a great choice of vegetarian options which makes a nice change. The waiting staff were really friendly and attentive and we really could fault nothing so not sure were the bad reviews come from and I would highly recommend eating here.

Brilliant stay, with brilliant staff. Made Christmas that little bit more special! Will definitely be visiting in the new years when the weather is warmer! And hopefully many of the same wonderful staff will be there to welcome us back!

What a lovely place to stay. Room was fabulous, meal was great….but what we were most impressed with was the friendly upbeat service from all the staff members we dealt with. Ben was particularly helpful with our breakfast the following morning (which was delicious). Highly recommend staying as so picturesque. Thanks so much!

Among the best inns I've ever visited. The room was perfectly prepared and we were lucky to have a room with a view on the cove. The complimentary breakfast was incredible. In addition to a bountiful buffet they offer (multiple) warm meals which are all amazing in and of themselves. The service leaves nothing to be desired whatsoever. The interior is charming; there are sundry memorabilia to do with the cove and the place; some of them a good 70 years old. We definitely enjoyed this historic insight. hope I get the chance to come here again sometime.
