Moonfleet Manor in West Dorset

Tom A. was so attentive and looked after us amazingly! The afternoon tea was great but the service made it even better. ☺️

3rd time we have visited for a pre-Christmas break. It must be good 👍.

We’re local to Weymouth and heard about the Santa experience. It did not disappoint! It was our 2 year olds first Santa experience and it was magical. The team meet and greet were amazing. Carys was great with our little boy John. Her customer service skills were amazing and she was fantastic with the children. The setup walking through to meet Santa was amazing, it really felt magical and was an experience we’ll certainly remember forever. The play area afterwards is amazing and the facilities are second to none. Thank you to the Moon fleet team and special shout to Carys for giving a little boy a truly wonderful start to Christmas.

Great. 5 year old loved it. Our 3rd hotel in the LFH group. Rooms and hotel recently renovated. Game zone (trampolines, indoor football, table tennis, pool, snooker arcade games) brilliant for our son and the best of the hotels so far. Halloween activities in childrens club top notch (party in the Den; Spooky Hunt around the grounds). Staff couldn't be more helpful. And the food significantly better than the other 2 stays in LFH group - fresh fish available each night (red mullet, Dover sole, bream) Overall, it does exactly what it offers, and does it well. Centred around kids. Lots to do (including nearby if you want day trips). Yes, it is pricey. The pool area could do with a refresh in the next few years though it is big and fairly warm and works well. The food service can be a bit slow though is very friendly. And the menu isn't fine dining - but doesn't pretend to be. But we are fortunate enough to be able to and willing to pay for all the benefits for a short stay. And on that basis it was excellent. By way of comparison, it reminded us of the Fowey hotel (also recently renovated) and much more comfortable and activity-plentiful than the Ickworth hotel in the LFH group.

The location is great, views are amazing. The staff are excellent, always on hand. The food needs work, it's not what you would expect. I was told separately that they go through a lot of chefs! There are parts of the hotel that are looking tired, but don't let that put you off. Lots to do and very very dog friendly.

Great place if you take your family, it won’t be a quiet stay ! We went for the fabulous location and views and was not disappointed at all in that. A beautiful restored Manor House with fantastic activities. Overpriced restaurant for what you receive (the ‘posh’ fish & chips looked disappointing for £28) and the self service breakfast was very chaotic, I much prefer (and expect) waited service for £260 per night. All the staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Management can learn a lot from The Kings Arms in Dorchester !

Absolutely beautiful experience at Moonfleet Manor. The rooms were stunning and location exquisite. My only qualm was the breakfast service on our first morning was slow. The spa was neat and professional. The lounge areas were open, free, warm and welcoming. Overall a lovely weekend.

The most perfect family holiday ever! The staff were unbelievable and everything was just comfortable, beautiful and done with joy and care.

Priciest coffee in the South west? Having covered over 550 miles walking the South West Coast Path. A decent coffee in a nice location not too far from the path is usually a nice treat. However it takes the edge off the enjoyment a tad when the establishment is charging over a tenner for two coffees. Wow! You can certainly take the award for most expensive coffee on the swcp, possibly in the South West. Completely unnecessary to be taking advantage. Not that great a brew either. If hiking the swcp from Abbotsbury, I'd advise grabbing some baked treats at Bellenies Abbotsbury and giving Moonfleet manor a miss as a coffee stop. Obviously can't comment on anything further such as food or accommodation.
