when I saw this hotels website I thought what a lovely setting the pictures and write up sounded good so I booked it as my family and I where going to a Wedding my niece's at Kingston country club so this was supposed to be a treat for my sister and my mentally handicapped nephew this would save them travelling... more

Excellent hotel - warm welcome, warm room, very helpful and courteous staff, and superb food. Maria and I stayed for two nights - dinner, bed and breakfast. We were really looking forward to our Purbeck break and we were not disappointed. The only minor glitch was the weak shower, but everything else was really good. It was peaceful and very... more

We booked for 2 nights here, and only stayed 1. We booked the room at the very top (room 8) with the four posted bed. The hotel from the outside looks lovely, very picturesque and in a good location, however, step inside and u head back 30 years or so. Our room had mismatched furniture, the four posted bed was... more

An attractive old building containing a pleasant hotel. The restaurant is excellent but the rooms are unremarkable and somewhat overpriced. more

We enjoyed a few days in the Purbecks and chose the Purbeck Vineyard from its very glossy website. We were surprised that this was actually a five bed guest house as it is portrayed on there website as a "boutique style hotel" and restaurant. Not quite what we imagined but we had a comfortable stay. Our four poster room was... more

Had we seen any of the reviews for this Hotel then we would not have even contemplated staying as sadly all the negative comments are true. For such a splendid building in such a fantastic location, it is so disappointing to discover that it is unloved and in such a state of disrepair. We stayed in the most expensive room,... more

Food very good standard, also situation excellent for touring Dorset.Excellent view from window of both the Castle and Square, Hotel bar and room very dated and tired looking,especially for the amount paid. Ensuite very disapointing,again very tired and in need of a full makeover, and several immediate repairs. more

The building is interesting, the scenery is wonderful. However, what really let this place down was how dirty our room was. The bathroom in particular didn't appear to have been cleaned since the last guests left. The room was very average and not worth the price paid, unlike the evening meals that were outstanding and for the quality served was... more

Having read the other reviews on this site about the hotel, I wasn't looking forward at all to staying here but it was a busy time and I couldn't fnd anything else, so we went for it. The hotel is OK. We had the room with the 4 postered bed and a pull out. The bed is actually really comfortable... more

I’ve spent two memorable stays at this hotel with my girlfriend, including the 3 night Christmas package, which is quite expensive, but very worthwhile; so much so we are treating ourselves to it again this year. The hotel is an impressive building with tastefully understated grounds. The interior is plush and comfortable without being gaudy. Rooms are of a generally... more

We stayed here for one night in August. We were given a "Jr. Suite" which was actually two tiny rooms separated by a small landing up a tiny staircase. The price of our "Jr. Suite" was nearly $400 for the night. My 7 and 9 year old were forced to sleep together on the world's tiniest pull out sofa bed.... more

We spent four nights at Westaway and were made most welcome by Yvonne. We stayed in the room overlooking the lovely garden at the back of the house. The room was comfortable and prettily furnished. Breakfast was well cooked and plentiful and it was pleasant to sit chatting round the table with the other guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our short... more

Corfe Castle is a delightful setting and the hotel looks impressive and fits in well within the overall fell of the village. Unfortunately my stay at this hotel was very dissapointing. My family of 4 had a room in one of the annexes to the hotel - on entering the room there was a very strong odour of urine. I... more

This was a trip away with my mother, arrranged via the special offer for 2 nights B&B. I chose this hotel as it was in a stunning location and had a 2 star rosette rating for food, as well as for the DVD/TV in the room as I suspected the weather was going to be unpredictable (& I was right!)... more

Where to start,we wanted somewhere to stay with history,luxury and we were giving so much more. The location,staff,room,meal perfect.If you want somewhere to be treated like royalty then you have to go and try this to believe this comment.The staff were so polite friendly an absolute credit to the owners of this fine establishment.The meal ,words cannot describe,what a chef... more

My partner booked us the Elizabethan Room for my birthday in July, as I’ve I always told him how I would love to stay at the Morton’s House, and let me tell you I was not disappointed. From the moment we arrived the staff were pleasant, friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and the bed so comfortable that I... more

Had there been a "pretty poor" category, between Terrible and Okay but with some problems, that's the one I'd have chosen. I absolutely agree with all these negative reviews. The senior staff display no warmth, helpfulness or hospitality, which given their job is a serious failing. The bathroom in our room was absolutely revolting, with caked black dirt around the... more

I tend to agree with many of the other reviewers who also didn’t enjoy this hotel. The location is very convenient and picturesque and the building itself is stunning. However, the inside of the hotel is tired, filthy and totally incongruous with the beautiful surroundings. The senior staff are ignorant and rude (it’s hard to believe that they are in... more

If you are looking for disceet service with quiet efficiency I would not recommend this hotel. The moment we walked into the lobby feeling quite tired and looking forward to some quiet relaxation we were greeted by the very loud, bombastic owner who obviously prides himself on the similarities between himself and Basil Fawlty. That however was the only real... more
