Friendly welcome and a very comfortable, quiet room. Food was good quality and value for money. Great continental breakfast selection included in the room rate. Service in the evening for dinner was slow, but the food was worth the wait. Minor issues with mould in the shower room.

Excellent Dorset Stop
We spent 9 days touring England by car and train. Overall the Frampton Inn and Pub was the best overall place we stayed and ate/drank at. It has an excellent restaurant and Pub. The best price for an Ale. The room was modern and even had AC if needed. All the staff were very nice and hard working. We will return someday.

Excellent short stay
The service from arrival to departure was exemplary. There's a great bar area and large dining space. Even though there a table of nearly 30 being served, the service and food was superb. Continental breakfast was good, with plenty of variety.
Would stay again without hesitation.

A dry evening.
Lovely place to stay and the Sunday meal was excellent.Only thing that let it down was we decided to go for a drink in the bar at 21.30 and it was closed.

Beautiful old inn and restaurant. Requested a level floor room and stayed in the converted "stables" - felt like a little cottage!
Great atmosphere, great breakfast spread and enjoyed dinners in the restaurant.
Overall - if you need to be in this area - stay here. Staff were great!
