Friendly welcome and a very comfortable, quiet room. Food was good quality and value for money. Great continental breakfast selection included in the room rate. Service in the evening for dinner was slow, but the food was worth the wait. Minor issues with mould in the shower room.

The bedroom was spotless and a,decent size. The shower was excellent and the towels large and fluffy. We ate in the restaurant and i ordered a southern fried chicken burger, which turned out to be chicken strips! My wife had a smashed burger, and found paper in her burger, which put her off. When we told them she was offered a free drink, but we were ready to leave so she said no thank you. They didnt even take the money off for the drink she had. Seeking as the paper in her burger meant she didnt eat it all some money off or a free pudding would have gone a ling way.

Excellent Dorset Stop

We spent 9 days touring England by car and train. Overall the Frampton Inn and Pub was the best overall place we stayed and ate/drank at. It has an excellent restaurant and Pub. The best price for an Ale. The room was modern and even had AC if needed. All the staff were very nice and hard working. We will return someday.
