The Ollerod

Would do a return stay Found the staff 1st rate. Very helpful.

The family suite was a great option for our trip. 2 teenage girls loved their room and we had a fab main-bedroom with superking bed. Bathroom was well equipped - the shower was so very nice - powerful and warm. We enjoyed spending time in the bar / lounge where premium drinks were offered. The team were on hand to help with any requests we may have had. The breakfast offer was really well enjoyed - cooked fresh with personalisation welcomed. We will definitely be back as it gave us access to Dorset and East Devon beaches, as well as nice market towns like Dorchester.

We had an overnight stay & it really was lovely. The staff are wonderful,the room was a good size & very comfortable. We had a meal in the restaurant which really was outstanding. We both had three courses & every course was delicious. We will definitely be returning.

We did the dinner, bed and breakfast deal which is exceptional value. There really aren’t many things to fault. The food was of excellent quality- truly delicious and I actually found it difficult to choose each course as everything sounded so good. It also lived up to the promise of the description on the menu. The restaurant and bar are very stylish and the lovely bartender really knew her cocktails, taking a lot of care over them ( the Old Fashioned in particular). The younger staff serving in the restaurant were efficient, knowledgeable and clearly well-trained. Our room was luxurious, comfortable and v clean. We really enjoyed the homemade shortbread. I’m also impressed when conditioner and body lotion are provided… also very big soft towels and lovely bedsheets. Breakfast was good quality with fruits, yoghurt , homemade granola and a good choice of hot food. We went for the buttery, lemony kippers which arrived with a pile of toast. A great experience- highly recommended!

We had Sunday lunch there but it was a disappointing experience. The Beef Wellington at £38 was overpriced. The sauce was over seasoned and the beef was not tender. The waitress kindly changed that to the roast beef for us. The beef with gristle was cut too thick for our liking. The food was piled up high on a rather small plate which made for a rather unpleasant experience. The Yorkshire pudding was lovely and hugh. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice. There are many other restaurants serving better quality food/ cooking with better prices so we will not return.

We loved everything about The Ollerod. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. The staff are all delightful, charming and most helpful. Unfortunately we were unable to dine in and make the most of the skills in the kitchen, but dinner smelt amazing! I would love to come back for another stay
