We have stayed with two others within the group Lord Haldon Exeter( a big disppointment ) and the Rembrandt in Weymouth( which was OK) But the Royal chase is a huge step up from either of those. The staff on reception where extremely helpful, so where the restuarant staff. The quality of the room was like nothing I have found... More

The hotel was better than expected, having paid a very small amount for the accommodation I was not expecting too much, however it turned out to be a quiet and comfortable stay in an old hotel. Perhaps in need of a makeover but still adequate. More

We stayed at this hotel on New Years Eve and had a brilliant time! We were given room 3 which is a fantastic large room with a fireplace, it had a modern but really homely feel to it. The room was very quiet and clean. The Receptionist was friendly also along with the bar staff. Although we were not joining... More

Booked for a weekend away to visit Shaftesbury. We also like a little relaxation, and this was the only hotel in the area advertising a leisure club, which it's web site boasted had been recently re-furbished. First impressions were good. Nice 'Country House Hotel' appearance with ample car parking. Good size room on the first floor with flat screen TV... More

Dear Valued customer, Thank you for your comments concerning your stay at the Royal Chase Hotel. The leisure club has just re-opened, 24/10/11 and we listened to the memebers and guests reports on the fact that the spa pool, steam room were wasting energy so we have reduced the timings on both to accommodate.

We booked a weekend offer to visit an area new to us. We arrived quite late but the reception staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Our room, on the first floor, I think was probably one of the rooms still awaiting refurbishment but was very clean and pleasant. We had a drink in the bar which has potential but is... More
