Overall a pleasant stay. The beds were very comfy. Breakfast was a pleasant experience, very relaxed. Room cleanliness was good but some minor defects found with lighting and the shower. The communal areas should be cleaned more regularly or carefully. Some stickiness to door handles and surfaces.
Check in chaos, manager inept, tried to charge us again! Shame because the young bar staff were lovely, friendly and efficient. Rooms need upgrade and a good clean
A grand hotel in a very upmarket area. Close enough to the coast to enjoy all the resorts. Definitely the smartest hotel weve ever stayed in. Enjoyed a lovely weekend here. Would 100% stay again.
The room was beautiful and spacious. We really enjoyed our stay. We wanted to stay for another night but already fully booked.
We definitely coming back again.
The hotel was welcoming and the room was spacious, and comfortable, if a little stuffy. It was at the top of the building and the windows would only open a little. The room would have been less stuffy had the windows been opened before we arrived, and the blinds drawn. It was clean, and the linen was all good.
All in all, a pleasant stay.
Room was far too hot & the air conditioning wasnt working. Woken at 5.30am by the night porter continually crashing empty bottles into the skip under our window. Very thoughtless.Bed very uncomfortable. But restaurant & food was first class, staff excellent.
An interesting project. Hotel very good but Dinner Menu very limited. However this resulted in finding two excellent restaurants!
Not easy to find shops in Poundbury as obviously any hoardings are not allowed.
The property was in character with the area and is in itself a fine building. Interesting inside with its multi-levels. Staff and service was excellent - all very helpful and attentive. Lucky with the weather sitting outside looking across the square was really great and our party of 10 had a very relaxed and interesting stay.
We had a great stay on Sunday Afternoon and evening at Duchess of Cornwall.
We were a group of 8
Service was fabulous Food was good quality Pub grub.
Room was spacious and clean.
A great place to stay.
One night business. Excellent for parking. Room very very well done, very comfortable. Breakfast and food options very good. The whole area felt safe. Would definitely book again.
