Very close (7 minutes in car) to Bovington Tank Museum. It is really a golf club with a few rooms for guests. So quiet and not a lot of tourists or families. The rooms are good quality, with typical basic facilities. Ok for couples, unlikely to be useful for a family. Plenty of parking near the room.
Since it is a golf club there is a members area (like a large bar) with lots of table seating. It would be fine if you are in a group. Not really for the individual to sit alone in. The food is limited and average. Not really a Restruant, more a bar with 3 meal options. If you like Golf you would be at home.

The rooms are very clean and modern with great beds
It joins the golf range and they started collecting the balls at 7.10am which woke us up
3.9
The staff were all very friendly, breakfast there was something for everyone. Rooms were a nice size and very comfortable. It was handy for the local attractions of Monkey World and the Tank museum. Although primarily for golfers and bowlers it was ideal for other leisure pursuits.

Rooms were better than I thought they would be. Breakfast was excellent

Lovely location - you need a car. Twin room was spacious and clean. Bathroom tidy but dated. Lovely hearty breakfast with lots of choice and good quality. Will stay again and recommend to others.

Creaky floorboards coupled with inconsistent people made sleeping difficult. Both late at night and early in the morning.

Friendly staff, rooms nice and quiet/clean, ideal location. Breakfast was spot on

Location, golf, food, not in that order 😂
3.9
The location is a golf course so understanably a bit out of the way but very well kept
The breakfast was excellent and the staff very well organised and courteous
I think it made the other guests happy as people were happy to say hi.
A shuttle service would have been a nice touch.

The breakfast and the cake. Nice setting and the wood in the rooms was lovely. The mugs were nice (ikea) and the lighting was pretty good.
The awful mechanical ventilation noise that was intermittent (not the bathroom fan). Meant I needed earpluga The window would not close properly. The bathroom felt a bit like a changing room. The towels were small.

Comfy clean rooms. Friendly staff and excellent breakfast

Breakfast was good, the shower in the room was brilliant!
The size of the room was very generous.
I arrived in the dark and it was a little difficult to find the room as the signage was not very helpful.
3.9
Comfy, well equipped bedroom. Bathroom a reasonable size with a good shower. Good choice at breakfast. Hotel in quiet location surrounded by countryside.
Floor creaked in places. Other than that no issues
3.9
The surroundings were nice, it was quiet and the golf course looked promising. The breakfast was very nice and dinner was good. The place had a pool table and darts that my son liked. The place was clean and the staff very friendly and helpful.
It probably was a very posh place in the 1980 and needs a makeover. It is very difficult to get to without a car and there are few taxies in the area.
3.9
A great location. The room was a good size and decent facilities. Very clean.
The breakfast was a good spread but probably can include something more for vegetarians.
3.9
The room was lovely. It was large and spotlessly clean. The car parking facilities were great. The breakfast was amazing.
I would agree with some of the reviews which mention they you can hear people talking in the next room on occasion.

Location
Unfriendly member of staff at check-in (was quite impatient with deaf couple in front of us too). Then greeted us with 'you're late, was going to give you 10 more mins begore she rang us'!) - it was @ 6.30pm and we had driven from Surrey to Dorset (we were only @ 30mins after we thought we'd arrive!) We couldn't sleep from 3am as hotel switched heating off and we were freezing cold in the room (no thermadyat to override). Not ground floor as per booking confirmation and no coffee machine either as per confirmationr, just a kettle. 15mins before check-out a member of staff tried to enter our roo.m while we were still undressed! They knocked but barely gave us 3 seconds to get to the door before trying to enter. We didn't bother with the continental breakfast as we couldn't wait to leave and sadly after this experience will not be returning.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent.
There is little or no noise insulation in the rooms, I could hear people talking in the next room even though they were just speaking at a normal level. It made me feel guilty in the mornig as I got up early, I felt the need to avoid making any phone calls or watching the newsmon the telly.
3.9
coffee machine in room
free Wi-Fi although expected
rooms are massively outdated, underwhelming and overall not 4 star quality. the bathroom looks like some sort of utility room.
mattress uncomfortable and lumpy.
breakfast late even at the late opening time of 0730 and was mediocre at best.
the ironing board and iron sum up this accommodation as barely functional.
would not stay here again

Clean and ideal location

The price was too much for the place . The staff were rude
3.9
It was in a central location for the places I wanted to visit Adequate car parking. Friendly staff. Clean and tidy. Good breakfast. Large dining area with good views over the golf course. Away from busy roads. Tranquil location but easy access to the tourist venues in the area
Some people may pick fault with the limited dinner menu. But there were both Vegan and normal options on the menu. Adequate for my needs on a 2 night stay but maybe would not suit everyone on a longer stay.
3.9
Breakfast was very basic. I would have expected some fresh fruits, at least some cheese, normally with continental breakfast there are cakes, danish and croissants.
I am not a heavy breakfast eater- but noticed these things missing
location- middle of no-where but that is my opinion, it is excellent for those who want golfing weekends for those who enjoy bowling. not very many places to eat nearby and the hotel vegetarian menu was very limited
3.9
Excellent location, friendly staff, bar food was excellent & breakfasts were great too

It was clean and the views were nice.
