The Dorset Resort

Stayed here for the tank fest weekend. The place was great with no complaints. I would stay again if I was in the area 👍

The location is absolutely stunning, with cottages that have a distinctly Nordic charm, surrounded by tall trees that enhance the serene atmosphere. Everything about the place was fantastic – the spacious rooms, spotless cleanliness, effective heating, and the thoughtful architecture. The balconies and private saunas in each cottage were the icing on the cake. It truly felt like a holiday in a Nordic country, without actually traveling there.

Very nice location; a mix of secluded woodland and open fields. The staff were very friendly, pleasant and accommodating. The rooms were a bit tired; the resort has evidently tried to modernise the rooms a bit and while I appreciate the effort and intent, they are still clearly old, tired rooms with some modern (but cheap) IKEA-style furnishings slapped on. The rooms were very warm as there's no air conditioning, but there was a pedestal fan in the room which was ok. The room had a musty smell. Our room was right by the entrance to the building, so we had to put up with people standing outside smoking and talking loudly late at night (we had the windows open since it was summer), and people kept slamming a door somewhere which shook the entire room. This was less of a big deal in the summer since we had fans on which helped to mask some of the noise, but it is a noisy place with thin walls and in other seasons the noise from other rooms would probably be less bearable. The complimentary breakfast buffet was ok but basic and a bit greasy.
