Old property that had a minor recent refurb. It's not quite a lot for the money. No ac and bad noise insulation.

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.

Over night stay

The room was very hot and we were woken up by a tractor cutting the hedges at 7.30am. The bathrooms could do with being updated - very clinical and reminded us of hospital bathrooms. The breakfast was good and we requested vegan options which they did.
