ヤルベリー コテージ(Yalbury Cottage)

The staff here care about you and treat you like family (I got a flat tire in their parking lot at night and they helped me call my rental car agency and helped me through the process all the way). The building and rooms are lovely and comfortable with many little touches that make it feel like home.

With the exception, perhaps of a small hotel in Mendoza, Argentina, I find it hard to recall a hotel stay I have anjoyed as much as that I spent recently at Yalbury Cottage. Welcomed oin pur first visit as if we were old friends, we were shown to a gorgeous, generously sized room; the bed was a joy to sink into and there was - so rare, now - a bath to luxuriate in. The welcome continued as we took dinner (which I have reviewed seperately) and over a splendid breakfast the next morning. The dinner, B&B rate seemed to us to be an absolute bargain. Given that we were here on a wet day in November I could only imagine how great it must be to stay here in the height of spring or summer. A particular mention to the hostess and the delightful receptionist, both of whom exemplified eveything that is good about the UK hospitality industry - but now, sadly, what one always finds.

Everything about Yalbury Cottage is fantastic… the setting, the people, the food (both dinner and breakfast). Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Beautiful old cottage with spacious and well appointed rooms , lovely gardens with outdoor seating area and a great lounge for pre dinner drinks. The food though was awesome , the best I've had for a very long time and service was exceptional . Reasonably priced and extensive drinks menu , a truly memorable stay .

Our cosy room in the cottage overlooked a small garden and fields in a quiet spot just outside Dorchester. Drinks in the garden were followed by a delightful, top quality three course dinner in the restaurant. Breakfast next morning was prepared to a similarly high standard. Staff throughout our stay were friendly and welcoming.

This quirky and unique cottage is the most delightful hotel. The rooms are cosy & comfortable. To say the owners & staff are incredibly welcoming & hospitable is an understatement - absolutely nothing is too much trouble. However, the star of the show is the food - innovative & sublime - a gourmet experience!

Lovely stay with warm staff and fabulous food!

We booked a dinner bed and breakfast package. So warmly greeted by a lovely team including the owners. Nice room, simply furnished but warm and comfortable and I love the use of Naked Sprout recycled loo paper. An Incredible dinner with lovely canapés in the sitting room with drinks beforehand and a four course dinner . Very generous portions; as cheese lovers we couldn’t fit that course in! Fine dining in a cosy unpretentious setting. Breakfast is well worth the stay. Unlimited amount of whatever you choose. The smoked haddock with a creamy chive sauce is absolutely scrummy. Can’t wait to go back .

Not the first time we have stayed here and it certainly won’t be the last. Upon arrival you are greeted by friendly staff and the excellent service continued throughout our stay. The hotel offers everything you need to have a lovely stay in Dorset with extremely good food and a very relaxing quaint atmosphere. We are very much looking forward to coming again and staying at the cottage soon!
