Manston Guest House

Sturminster Newton

10/10 Excellent

We had a wonderful stay at Manston guest house. We were made to feel so relaxed and at home, a service that is hard to find, even in the most expensive hotels. The room was cosy and the bed comfortable and after a nice sleep we had a lovely breakfast, cooked to order with fresh eggs from next door. Nothing was too much for Fiona and Justin the owners and if we're in Dorset again will definitely go back.

Paolo, Tim, Amanda, and the rest of the team were warm, welcoming and super helpful (including when I...

Hunteres Inn is close to many places of interest and is just off the A303. We had a very pleasant stay, staff were friendly and helpfull. Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable with a beautiful en suite. The Pub Restaurant offered a very good choice of food at breakfast and Dinner, also a packed lunch if required. We would recommend this to anyone for an overnight stay ( we were on our way to Cornwall ) or a short break.
