Paper thin walls.

The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything from the room next door. There were of golfing groups who returned to the hotel very late and very loudly. On the second night the batteries in the exterior door electronic door lock were running low and therefore constantly beeped. We reported this to the bar staff (the only employees we could find) who told us they didn’t have any new batteries. Would I stay here again - nope !!

My son and I stayed for one night whilst in the area. We weren’t there for golf but did enjoy the driving range in the morning. The resort is nice, a little tired in places, the gym could do with some new boxing gloves 😂! But all in all very nice stay. The only reason I scored 4 was the bed, we had a twin room in the hotel. My son is 6ft 1 and his feet were hanging over the end of the small bed.

Golf competition stay

A fantastic location for any ardent golfer. The practice facilities, the hotel, clubhouse and course all contained within a compact area. The staff were outstanding and very accommodating.The rooms were spotless and quiet. Breakfast was spot on.All in all a top class stay. The bar staff, booking in and reception, golf and catering staff are a credit to the resort.

We had a lovely stay at the Dorset Golf Resort Hotel. The scenery & surrounding areas are stunning & we had some wonderful walks & runs through the woods. We had a couple days where we ran out of toilet paper as it wasn't topped up but luckily we had a couple rolls in the car & when I spoke to reception they resolved it straight away. The biggest downside I'd say is the limited selection for vegetarians, particularly for dinner, but it's a short drive away from some good pubs so this wasn't an issue. There is an electric car charger there, which was a great surprise, & it worked well on the first two occasions, but unfortunately there were issues on our last night so couldn't charge before leaving. We again spoke to reception & they said they'd try to get it sorted, but unfortunately this wasn't done in time so we charged on the M27. Despite these few very minor things, we genuinely had an amazing break with them. The staff were all very friendly, helpful & welcoming, all within an incredible setting. We didn't use any of the golf or bowls facilities so can't comment on those, but we saw a lot of very happy golfers around so I'm sure they enjoyed it. We would definitely go back again & highly recommend the Dorset Golf Resort.
