My third visit. Very comfortable bed and clean bedroom and bathroom. On site EV charging is a great facility, plus easy parking. Whilst no cooked breakfast what is offered is very good and there is plenty to eat. Great pub with excellent food - very generous portions. Very accessible to be able to explore Dorset and the option of the train station on the door step is perfect if you don’t drive.

Perfect place to stay if you’re in the area. We had a twin room, which was a good size and had a full bath tub with soaps, shower gels and shampoo. Tea/coffee making facilities and free bottled water. The rooms are attached to wonderful pub, the staff are super friendly and the food served there is excellent. Definitely make a bee line for the roast lamb if you’re there on a Sunday. Plenty of choice for breakfast. My only wish would be the option to have a hot breakfast, but for the price of the stay there’s no way to moan about that. Would stay at the Frampton Arms again in a heartbeat. Great stay
