This hotel must be rated among the best England can produce. It is not cheap but then the best will never be. Where does one start, set in an ancient town in Dorset ,next to the parish church, it is quintessentially English. An ancient Nunnery or Priory, has been adapted into a wonderful hotel. However buildings are one thing, and... More

Took my Husband here for his birthday weekend. We arrived on Sunday and had pre-booked lunch, booking is definitely essential. The food was first class and the wine list is extensive and very informatively presented. We then went to our boathouse suite, wow. Right on the river with its own patio to sit and enjoy the sunshine. One suggestion I... More

We stayed here for four nights at the beginning of April to celebrate our Silver Wedding. Our room, we were informed, had recently been refurbished. It was cosy and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was quite small but adequate and with a large shelf on which to place toiletries and cosmetics. We dined in the restaurant each evening. The food generally... More

Great room, great food, somewhere for my friends to keep boats too. Really good quality food and very smart gardens. What stops it being 5 stars? A couple of snappy staff who were not polite to other guests left a Minor negative. No need for being snotty - we are all familiar with 5 star hotels and have probably stayed... More

My family and I dined at The Priory this Sunday for a special celebratory lunch. Fantastic. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful, the views stunning and the food out of this world. This was our first visit and we found the pricing to be extremely reasonable and competitive. We now know we don't have to wait for another special... More

I was taken here for a special occasion . We had the superior room which had a copper bath and wet room. It was truly amazing. The bed was super king size and the room was furnished beautifully. I loved it. We went down to dinner and were shown to the drawing room for canapés and per dinner drinks. The... More

The Priory is the type of hotel that we have always looked for. Our room was near perfect with the most attractive decor, a very comfortable bed, tea making facilities and a flat screen TV. The bathroom appeared to be brand new with lovely soft large towels. The only thing missing was a magnifying shaving mirror for those of us... More

Been a few years since last visit, reading the reviews thought would give this old favourite another chance. Excellent Amuse Bouche served with our pre dinner drinks, glass of wine, G & T and a tonic water £20ish, in the warm and welcoming lounge. Menu £45 for 3 courses plus coffee, with additional supplement for a couple of the mains.... More

We finally tried lunch here and the food although small portions were really tasty. We ate 2 courses for 17 each and thought it lovely. The hotel is furnished with antiques but was cosy and comfortable. There was a log fire burning today which made you want to stay longer. The waiters and the lady in reception were really nice....

This was our third visit to stay and dine in the hotel though our previous visits were some 12 years and more ago (apparently the next generation of the same family still in charge). The building and grounds (adjoining river Frome) are delightful and well-kept. Our "package" was £250 for two people for one night, dinner, bed and breakfast and... More
