Very friendly staff and locals !
Evening meal very good

We are really pleased to have stayed here. It's a great building which I imagine the overseas tourists must be in awe of. Well even this English one was! The staff were really good, we had a very good evening meal and breakfast. There is a car park at the back which in high season must be a very useful thing for guests in this very busy village.

The hotel is located in a great location. It has an excellent pub, with another excellent pub almost across the street for variety. It is a short walking distance to Corfe castle as well as an historic railway.

We had a cheerful and lovely welcome on arrival. Hotel parking very convenient. We were shown to our room . There was a vacuum cleaner left outside our door which we stepped over to get in . Having sorted ourselves out we then stepped over the vc again . ( it was still there hours later so we moved it ourselves !) The room was ok but a bit tired and in need of a refresh . Holes need filling and the electric sockets by the bed need fixing . Breakfast was brilliant , made to order and delicious. The staff member was lovely and attentive too. Some furniture in the dining hall was broken and not appropriate to use . To sum up , staff great , breakfast 10/10 , room in need of a refresh .

We had great friendly service from the staff and the food and table service were great. However our room was not to a very good standard. The windowless en suite did not have a functioning extractor fan which resulted in a damp smelly room with damp towels which were only changed when I asked. We did not have kettle either until again I requested one. That took two attempts. The lighting was poor the main light on a dimmer switch flickered all the time. By the time we left the bulb had fused on one of the bedside lamps we didn’t ‘t even mention this The valances around the beds were ill fitting and a bit grimy

Good stay in a lovely village. Make sure you make a reservation for dinner at busy times of the year. 4 places to eat and they all were fully booked.

Beautiful building in an idyllic location. Team were so helpful throughout, allowing us to change in the room before it was ready etc. Breakfast was 10/10 - would fully recommend the full English, really was excellent. However, pub quite run down and in need of investment and refurbishment. Running water noise from faulty toilet and paintwork hanging off walls just some examples. Really excellent building and fab staff though.

We’ve just got back from a stay here, it’s a lovely hotel, the food is lush and service great. We recieved a bottle of fizz for my hubbys birthday which was a thoughtful touch. The Room was a decent size, shower hot and fairly powerful, the basic amenities were fine.
The only issue was the lack of secondary glazing in our room. I appreciate with listed buildings you have to preserve the original windows but my friends room at the front had secondary glazing but ours did not and it showed. Our room was close to the main road and my husband is a very light sleeper. This meant he barely slept at all on our first night, which affected the rest of the stay. The only coffee provided in our room was decaf, but he was able to get a caffeine hit at breakfast still.
It is a lovely hotel though with stunning views and I would recommend if you want to be in a fantastic location. If you are a light sleeper though, I would suggest making sure you have one of the rooms with secondary glazing or bring earbuds!

A lovely old historic pub but incredibly overpriced. Our room was nice, but at luxury prices, you expect luxury - its tired and in need of a good clean and lick of paint, we had one small shower gel for two of us, no soap, and a coffee filter machine but no filter coffee! So you use the machine to make hot water for a tea bag or coffee sachet. You have to preorder your breakfast the night before, with the time you want it, but then have to wait 40 minutes for it, so not sure why you have to preorder or put a time. The night we stayed, we got locked out due to the front door snib dropping so our key wouldn’t work (it had happened during opening hours too, so they must know the problem). The emergency number we called wasn't answered. We called again and someone obviously not happy to be called answered (it was only 11.20pm). Someone then had to come from their home to let us in (she had to go through the back door, so if the front door was ok, we would have gone in that way!)
Two staff were great - Lou, who had to come to get us in when we were locked out, and the breakfast serving lady - they were both cheerful, friendly and helpful. The other staff acted like customers were a pain, were rude and surly. One member of staff even asked her colleague where to 'bung' our bags, even though we were stood there!
Although the food was good, and it was the perfect place for where we had to be, it definitely wasn't worth the cost, and our stay was spoilt by the issues mentioned above.

We booked our stay via Tesco vouchers and it really has been great value for money. The hotel is very welcoming and eager to please. Abby greeted us and gave us lots of suggestions about where to visit and places to eat, not really necessary as the food there was absolutely first class. Breakfasts were included in the price and we were looked after brilliantly by Wendy - nothing was too much trouble - efficient, friendly and it was obvious that her customers came first, thank you Wendy! Our room was a good size and had everything one could wish for, comfy beds and plenty of storage space; the bathroom was a little tired, but perfectly functional. The hotel is ideally situated for exploring and we did everything we wanted to, and more. We have fallen in love with Dorset and would definitely return to the Bankes Arms Hotel - a great stay!
