“The Ollerod charms as a proper country house, enhanced by a genuinely attentive staff. Beaminster proves a worthy base for Dorset exploration, but the hotel itself makes a strong case for lingering, especially given the accomplished kitchen-a three-AA-Rosette distinction well-earned. I particularly appreciate the blend of historic character and considered, modern comforts.”
