Great Inn accommodation in Corfe Castle
A beautiful historical pub, in a fantastic location. Our room was clean, warm and comfortable. We didn't eat evening meal but did have drinks in the bar. Great atmosphere with attentive and friendly staff. Breakfast the next morning was very good. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Happy guests.
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.

Really comfortable room. Friendly staff and great food. They wrapped up my breakfast as I was going a run which was really kind. It was very tasty after I warmed it up at home.

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 .

A mixed bag
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

Busy at Corfe Castle.
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.
