8/10 Very good

A good overnight stay

The room was clean and on good condition, as was the en suite bathroom. The food in the pub/restaurant was good and reasonably priced. It's a free house. The property is near a railwsy; but we didn't hear the trains from our room.

Decent small hotel

Great little hotel above a pub. Riom was clean apart from some mould in the shower. The bed was comfy but wasnt king size as advertised. Breakfast was continental and good. Overall good value and friendly staff.

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.

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.
