The Grange at Oborne

The Grange is a lovely place to stay, off the beaten track in the countryside but with lots of interesting places to visit nearby - there is a bookcase full of maps and information available for guests. The hotel is beautifully decorated with amazing wallpapers and many quirky things to admire. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and we had a comfortable room with a balcony overlooking the garden. We enjoyed excellent breakfasts, the dinners weren't quite so good, and don't expect anyone to be able to advise on what wine to pair with the food! However it was very pleasant to come down for a drink in the bar and to be served canapes while deciding what to eat. The best dishes we ate were the chicken in tarragon cream sauce and the little Dorset apple sponge with custard which was the perfect size to finish a meal Two odd little things our visit - it was my birthday while we were staying and I did inform them on booking and gave my date of birth for check in just the day before but this wasn't acknowledged in any way. The express check out was also unusual, fortunately we chose to get our bill the night before leaving and were able to spot an error on it and have it corrected before automatically paying it. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again when we are next in the area.

We only stayed for one night, a shame it wasn't longer, this is such a lovely hotel situated in the countryside, only a few minutes from Sherbourne. The room was excellent having a very comfortable bed. The service from staff was very efficient and professional

Stayed with my mum for a night. We had one of the new rooms which opens up onto the garden. It was beautiful, lovely walk in shower. It’s a nice touch to find games in the lounge area, we enjoyed a game of cards before getting ready for dinner. The meal in the evening was excellent. Enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff

A wonderful, relaxed place to stay with outstanding customer care, staff are excellent, wonderful service, fantastic fresh, locally sourced food, beautiful surroundings...will be back! Thank you to all at The Grange for a lovely stay.

We sadly only stayed for one night. What a delightful hotel, with the loveliest staff and the coolest Cat. This hotel is in a stunning setting and beautifully designed with comfortable beds and above all spotlessly clean. We ate in the restaurant and the food was excellent together with a quality breakfast, what else could you ask for. Will most definitely return when we are next in the area.

My second stay here - this time for my birthday. Very comfortable and spacious room, great location, lovely staff and great food. What’s not to like? Lovely to meet Neptune. Will be back and always recommend to others. This hotel is a true gem
