Boutique Hotel Breaks

A lovely stay at Noel Arms hotel. Our room was good but more importantly all the staff we met were friendly & professional. A nice time.

We loved the concept of staying in a Romany-type caravan for two nights. The location suited us as naturalists so well with places like Arne Heath and Brownsea Island so close. We did other trips to Thomas Hardy’s house; Corfe Castle and to the Great Bustard project on Salisbury Plain. We packed a lot in but we were there close to Longest Day so we had lots of time to use. We are in our 70’s but encountered no problems here - and the staff were so friendly and helpful too.

We enjoyed a short break in one of the Rosebud Meadow pods - there are very comprehensive instructions about what to bring and what was already provided, so we knew what to expect. The pod was warm and cosy (and we had dry weather), and the shower block is immaculate (great water pressure and plenty of hot water). We enjoyed seeing the horses and goats abs bought some goats' milk toiletries as souvenirs as we left. Rosie always answered emails quickly leading up to our stay, and as everything was so well-prepared and explained, we didn't need to contact her whilst we were there. Thanks for a lovely relaxing break, Rosie!

We both enjoyed our stay, food excellent

We love staying at Merewood All the staff are very courteous friendly and hard working. They really make you (and your dogs ) feel very special. The breakfast at excellent and a great way to start your day. This wasn't our first trip to Merewood and we are sure to return again.

My wife and I have just arrived home from a lovely two night stay with you. Must say, what a few days. First, your staff - Fantastic, friendly, professional and happy to go that extra mile. Everyone we interacted with including house keeping, general staff, house staff and bar staff were naturally nice, it did not feel false. Nothing was too much for them. On the Saturday evening, I was relaxing in the lounge, was hungry, but comfortable and relaxed. So, I asked the bar staff if there was anyway I could eat in the lounge. they explained that they would check with the restaurant/kitchen and be right back. Within a few minutes, they were back, we ordered and it came shortly after that. The food was excellent quality and large in portion. The service just made an already very nice day. Overall, great place, very clean, super staff add to this lots of places to sit and relax, read, look out the window at the grounds. Chat if you want, sit yourself again if you want. We also had the afternoon tea. Again, fantastic, the quality of the surrounds, the service and the quality of the food and tea. I know I have mentioned it, but again excellent staff and all the wee touches, like the information sheets on the house history.

Spent a weekend in London, and booked ourselves into this lovely hotel. We received a very warm welcome and enjoyed our stay.

Amazing setting in lovely countryside very pleasant staff and ideal for exploring the surrounding areas would go again.
