Very good. We enjoyed our stay there and would come back again.

Liked:Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the room was comfortable.

Disliked:The address didn't say Moreton. It said Dorchester where we thought we were staying. The main road was a slight irritation but appreciate that can't be helped.

Adequate accommodation

Liked:Breakfast was standard no frills continental. Location is against a busy road and opposite a rail station yet it was quite in the room. Had a court yard room on a summer night so beer garden custo.ers were sitting outside room door till late.

Disliked:NA

Great value for money

Liked:Rooms were lovely and very clean. They looked like they had been refurbished recently. Found the corridors to the room and restaurant floor needed a good hoover and clean. Food in the restaurant was excellent with good portions. Service was also great.

Disliked:Communal areas such as restaurant floor and corridors and stairs to rooms needed a clean i.e. hoover and mop on the hard floors. Glasses for water in the restaurant didn’t look clean.
