“I found this hotel, established in 1931, to be wonderfully retro, embracing its history with dedicated spaces to Enid Blyton. The gardens were award-winning, a serene counterpoint to the close proximity of Studland Beach. It's the kind of place that, though showing its age in places, offers a genuinely warm and welcoming British atmosphere.”
