My husband has stayed here plenty of times on business but this time I came with him as we were invited for a special treat by friends. I also stayed here for the first time about 18 years ago and it was like time had stood still ( think we even got the same room) now refreshed and a lovely... More

My first visit although my wife last dined here 12 years ago. A warm and friendly welcome in an upper crust sort of way, drinks in the bar and plenty of time to choose from a perfectlly Adequate lunch menu and a sensibly priced wine list. Two seafood starters (trio of shellfish and trout) suited us well and they were... More

We have never visited this part of the country before and Plumber Manor had been recommended to us. The reason for our visit was to attend a big family celebratory Ball and we were part of a large party staying at the hotel. It is undoubtedly a lovely looking hotel with beautiful gardens and we were greeted with a warm... More

Plumber Manor has been by far the best dinning experience since we moved to Dorset 5 years ago. The hotel is a wonderful testament to everything that represents good old fashioned Brititsh pomp! From the welcome of the staff to way Richard effortlessly looks after his guests the whole place exudes quality and comfort. The food is exceptional, cooked to... More

We have been visiting Plumber Manor restaurant for many years. It is full of country charm, exceptional hospitality and situated in lovely surroundings. The food quality is as good as ever and we have always been made very welcome.

It was our first trip to this Hotel and we found the staff and the family that own it very friendly and helpful. The food - we could not have the full dinner experience - was limited to a starter in the evening with some bread - and was followed the morning after with an excellent breakfast. This is a... More

Plumber Manor was a delight as always - time has stood still here and it is all the better for that. Although now perhaps just a touch faded around the edges, it provides a welcome retreat from the modern world in a charming setting and is like staying at a private country house. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, the... More

Plumber Manor is a real old fashioned gem - the rooms spotlessly clean, rather dated, but deliciously comfortable, linen sheets and blankets (no duvets here!), avocado bathroom suite with Molton Brown accessories, yummy homemade shortbread biscuits and tea/coffee making facilities. The atmosphere in the bar is very welcoming and the food absolutely delicious. If you take Plumber Manor as you... More

Plumber Manor used to be a family home. In the seventies it was converted into a restaurant with rooms. It still retains it's family home atmosphere, infact I think a part of it is. We loved arriving to see the black labrador lying in the hallway as we walked in. There is nothing trendy or boutique about this place. It... More
