We enjoied every minute of our 2 nights stay .
The house is beautiful as well as the big garden, the old rooms...everything.
Generous hospitality, very good restaurant.

What a place. Tucked away up a winding driveway is a 'not so little' hidden treasure in the Dorset countryside. Recommended to me by other friends we were immediately blown away by the service which I can only describe as 'proper old school', the likes of which I've not experienced before - anywhere! They certainly have some wacky décor, but this all just added the the immense enjoyment of the whole experience. We stayed for one night in a huge but comfortable bedroom with an equally impressive and huge en-suite bathroom.

Being a nature lover I couldn't help but be seduced by the grounds. Extensive and private, we enjoyed cooling our feet in a babbling brook (and losing a flip flop down stream) and watching the ducklings on the pond. After dinner we were mesmerised by the bats, flying so close you could hear them.

Breakfast - well - it's just what you hope for; full English, home made muesli and house specials.

Recommended? Highly. Relaxing? Definitely. Return visit? Without question.

We have visited this hotel several times in recent years and have found that standards never vary.

Service is always excellent and friendly. The rooms are comfortable and of good size and several have been recently refurbished. The restaurant serves excellent food provided by a skilled chef/patron using mostly local produce some of which is grown on site.

The hotel is well positioned either for visiting local places of interest, e.g.. Stourhead House and Grounds, Sherborne, Shaftesbury, etc. or as a base for travels to the South Coast.

This time back into room 3 which has recently been redecorated and partially refurnished. The standard of service throughout this small hotel is superb. What a pleasure it is to find beds made by our return from breakfast and bathroom tidied during dinner.

Dinner is always the highlight of any stay at Stock Hill with a constantly changing menu and the occasional gesture towards a regular guest's favorite dish.
