ダッチェス オブ コーンウォール イン(The Duchess of Cornwall)

It’s very nice, if you can find it. On Sunday there are no buses into Poundbury so you have to walk through the development. There’s minimal signage and few people around to get directions. The B&B itself is quite nice and my room,#8, was quiet with a view for miles over the countryside. Ideal location to catch the local bus to Lyme Regis.

We had an excellent stay however the room was not as clean as we would expect. The toilet was very stained at the bottom and the furniture had not been cleaned thoroughly. There was lots of dust.

We have stayed here a few times now and always enjoy The Hotel Bedrooms Beautifully presented very comfortable Beds Bar and Restaurant service excellent Staff are always friendly and welcoming Thank you we will come again soon

Experience at the hotel was marked by its stunning beauty and convenient free parking amenities. However, the check-in process left much to be desired. Despite the bustling atmosphere at the pub entrance, where main check-ins are conducted, the wait to be attended to was longer than expected. Moreover, discovering that the room wasn’t ready added to the frustration, culminating in a significant delay well past the official check-in time. This hiccup, following a lengthy journey, marred an otherwise promising stay. The room itself boasted delightful views and thoughtful touches such as complimentary tea and coffee, enhancing the overall experience. However, the serenity was disrupted when the fire alarm sounded during the stay, causing understandable concern. Compounding matters, the following morning brought disappointment as the stoves were non-functional, depriving guests of a hot breakfast. These unforeseen issues detracted from an otherwise enjoyable stay, highlighting areas where improvement is needed for a seamless guest experience.

We stayed in room 3 for one night. There are good and bad points. Hence the average score based on the price and expectations. Good - we liked the decor and the quirky touches like the kettle, radio, night lighting, pillow options and air con. The bed was comfortable. Poundbury has nice shops (gallery / garden centre) and cafes nearby including a handy Waitrose. Parking was convenient. Bad - we had to ask twice to be given shower gel. There are no phones in the room which meant going downstairs twice to flag which was annoying after a long drive when we wanted a bath and had already flagged this 3 hours earlier. We expected face cloths in the room and both myself and my husband slipped getting in and out of the bath so think they should have non slip mats. Food wise we were underwhelmed - especially at breakfast. There were no bowls or plates out for fruit and no jams,marmalades, honey etc on the table. All the food felt like it had been thrown in the deep fat fryer and was greasy. For both breakfast & dinner we had to flag staff to serve us. We paid nearly £180 and think we would have got a nicer breakfast and room at a b&b for half the price. Sure the bedroom was nice but the bathroom hadn’t been properly cleaned - there was a huge hair on the tiles, stains on the ceiling, one of the taps was missing the cold button sign. Little things but when you’re paying a luxury price you expect more. In short I wouldn’t stay again as I feel it was over priced.

Great food food and or server Freddy provided excellent service really made the afternoon. Good drink and speedy staff. Would recommend the fish and chip knotty was very tasty and so was the tartar sauce I staff all very polite and speedy would recommend highly. Thank you Freddy!

We stayed for 3 days / 2 nights and wanted to use the hotel as a base for house hunting . There was no internet available throughout our stay which was a serious issue as we were receiving emails from local agents. The lift was out of action so my wife who has a heart condition had to climb 64 stairs to our room. At breakfast we had to ask for milk orange juice and dishes as there were none available. I cannot drink coffee or tea but was told that mint tea was not available. The cutlery was dirty .

Lovely place very close to friends we were visiting. Food very good and reasonable priced. If your staying overnight was abit pricey.

Exceptionally well looked after by staff members, nothing was too much trouble. Food and service were excellent, well looked after, without being over the top. We were in room number 20, and we had views across the square. The room itself was clean and comfortable and a pleasure to stay in.
