Beautiful country hideaway

Very reasonable room rate for early summer Friday, lovely old house in beautiful surroundings renovated to a comfortable hotel. Owner James was very helpful on the phone when I was delayed and arriving after 11pm, taking time to explain where the electric car charger was. Breakfast was included in room rate and nice quality. Will stay again.

Made a journey stop over into a holiday.

A last minute stop on a long journey and we happened upon a gem. Lovely room that was a little noisy was changed without fuss to a superb alternative - wow. Bed was amazingly comfortable. Really made the journey one of the best parts of the holiday. Lovely breakfast in the morning set us up for the rest of the drive. Pleasant and helpful staff are a real credit to the management.

Magnificent building. Friendly service, comfortable room impressive bath👍. Evening meal great, breakfast great. After dinner scotch was an effort for the waitress, she was brilliant and got there after a bit of mountain climbing, hazardous😳. Check in and out were easy. The only negative was the surface on the drive, but can appreciate that surfacing that length of drive would be prohibitively expensive.

The best place we have stayed in on this vacation.

An absolutely incredible stay. The facility is fit for royalty. The rooms top notch. The bathroom was the best I have experienced in my trip to date. Had supper and breakfast and both were on white table clothes and appropriate number of knifes and forks. The staff were super nice and even though they were preparing for a wedding, they always had time for us. The grounds around the hotel were beyond description. This is a destination where you want to spend some quiet time. Villages are close but you have to drive

I dont usually leave reviews, but I have to say how stunning this hall hotel & cottages are. We stayed in Stables cottage as there are 5 of us. We had a gorgeous, unbelievably equipped kitchen with everything you need. Every device was high end. The nain bed is huge, emperor size i think. Im used to a King size, but this was beautiful. The bathroom is stunning, with a fab walk in shower & ckaw footed bath. The grounds are stunning, with secluded woods, a huge field with football nets, which our boys loved. There also a huge trampoline. The Hall Hotel was beautiful. A hidden gem!

Beautiful hotel

We had a wonderful experience staying at Spinkell. Everything was excellent, from the warm welcome to the high standard of food and furnishings. This old stately home is set in far reaching beautiful grounds. It is used as a wedding venue but also provides bed breakfast to other visitors at quieter times. Our room was spacious. We had a superking bed. The room was warm and decorated in keeping with the age and splendour of the building with a view of the grounds. It had a modern ensuite bathroom with a powerful shower. We enjoyed a delicious evening meal and next morning a very good breakfast. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay.

A Work in Progress

An amazing family home with lots of ongoing improvements taking place inside and outside. Such a mammoth task but well worth the preservation. Rooms are being modernised with furnishings and bathrooms. Our room was comfortable with large opening windows which we appreciated. Bathroom spacious with separate bath, shower and toilet. Breakfast was set out on long table in main hall with 2 staff available to assist. Hot drinks were served at table in large dining room. Evening meal was table service for small group and large group helped themselves, same as breakfast. Strolled the grounds which was peaceful. Enjoyed a short time in comfy lounge chairs in a large room with many other lounge chairs and huge TV. Separate bar area for drinks. A number of young staff in service.

Be advised

I felt obliged to post a review of this hotel due to our recent experience. The hotel itself is a fine building and very grand. The rooms are elegant in proportion and spacious. Most of the staff were helpful with the odd exception. Points to note - once you arrive you will not want to leave, not because it is wonderful, but because of the horrendous journey up the very long drive way to the hotel. This was a driveway unlike no other! Big chunks of gravel interspersed with potholes, and the dust created means our white car is now very beige. Dog friendly - is all well and good but please do not leave your dog in your room when you go for your meal. The dog barking was incessant at times and seemed to echo around the building. The rooms - no fancy extras here. No bottled water, just basic tea bags and coffee sachets, not a biscuit in sight. No toiletries apart from a bottle of soap on sink, on bath and in shower. 1 hand towel and 2 bath towels for 2 people. The breakfast - very basic. Maybe because it was a sunday but the juice wasnt fresh, the continental was limited and the full scottish breakfast was not the best. Cold toast and cold beans and not very appetising sausages. Previous reviews have all been very good so maybe we were just unlucky.

What a gem. Didnt know this place existed but so glad we found it. Jennifer and Paige were superstars, full of smiles and very welcoming. Just what weneeded after a drive from Weymouth. Food was very well presented and exceeded expectations. Tranquil and expansive grounds for dogs to run around. No traffic. Good for them. We would recommend and will definitely go back.
