“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.”

charming stay
really good breakfast helpful staff beautiful decoration
The breakfast was fantastic. A wonderful selection was available. the staff were helpful. They provided candles and extra bedding during a power outage caused by a storm. the room was beautifully decorated. It seemed like i entered a beautiful home, not a corporate hotel.
The food in the restaurant was not up to standard. My son's lamb dish consisted mostly of fat, and there was little meat in his portion. i mentioned this to the receptionist, but she did not apologize and seemed indifferent to the issue. i wrote to the hotel, but i did not receive a reply.

worn furnishings hot room
I paid far too much for my room. My room, a 'Superior Double or Twin Room', had awful smells coming from the kitchen extractor fan whenever I opened the window. The room was also far too hot. The furnishings looked pretty worn, and the bed linen was quite rough. I was pretty disappointed overall.
