"We received a warm welcome, and thoughout our overnight stay all the staff were friendly and approachable, from the bookings and reservations to the waiting staff and the cleaners. Makes such a difference! We booked a superior double, which was clean, spacious and comfortable. We ate out as it was a Sunday night, when the hotel kitchens were closed, but we had some good recommendations from the hotel. The hotel doesn't have its own car park, but parking was pretty easy, in the nearby Cattle...

Manston Guest House

Sturminster Newton

10/10 Excellent

We had a wonderful stay at Manston guest house. We were made to feel so relaxed and at home, a service that is hard to find, even in the most expensive hotels. The room was cosy and the bed comfortable and after a nice sleep we had a lovely breakfast, cooked to order with fresh eggs from next door. Nothing was too much for Fiona and Justin the owners and if we're in Dorset again will definitely go back.

Had a great stay, room 1 was fantastic. We enjoyed the comfortable bed and a sofa was a bonus. Great bath, one thing to note may be the addition of a shower curtain, we managed to soak the floor every time we used it. Water and orange juice was a nice touch and filtered coffee was tasty. We did feel the stairs were very deep and the additional of another hand rail may be something to consider. Lovely dark room and we slept so well. Breakfast was great, nice to see all local and home grown...
