“Nestled a short walk from Studland Beach, this Dorset institution, established in 1931, strikes me as perfect for families-even those with dogs, who get their own dedicated dining space; I can envision returning from bracing coastal walks to find blazing hearths. Rooms range from doubles to family suites with upgraded bathrooms, while on-site amenities such as pools and award-winning gardens appeal to every generation. This could be an ideal base to explore the region.”
