The Priory Hotel in Purbeck

Went for afternoon tea with a friend. Car park at the rear down a narrow drive. The entrance was well directed and level access. Inside it was a homely comfortable welcome. Staff were very polite, welcoming and friendly. There are steps down to the room we were in for tea but there was a level access available. Disabled access wc available. Everything was clean and bright. Tea was amazing, choice of beverages and a nice welcome of mulled wine with a gingerbread man. We had booked a traditional afternoon tea but there is a savoury option. When we booked we were asked about dietary requirements and on arrival staff checked again they had it right. Food arrived beautifully arranged on a tiered stand. Staff explained what was there and flavours. Choice of finger sandwiches (6 different flavours), freshly baked fruit scones with pots of clotted cream and jam, selection of small cakes (5 of each). Staff were attentive and refilled tea and coffee pots without being asked. Food was very good and plentiful....we were offered a doggie bag to take some home as we couldn't manage everything. Highly recommend this for a luxury afternoon tea.

Top class restaurant and beautiful old building

Brilliant food, rooms, service and gardens. Another visit this year, excellent again. Lunch on patio, delicious dinner and breakfast

Went for a celebration lunch. Beautiful location, staff very attentive and friendly whilst remaining professional throughout. The food was delicious, beautifully presented. For the main course we chose tagliatelle and lamb. Portion sizes just right. The rioja we ordered is on our favourite wine list now 😋. Definitely planning a return visit.

Beautiful setting and high levels of service. As food prepared to order there can be a wait, but quality high when presented.

Very friendly, good service, staff very helpful, would recommend x

Excellent lunch with friends Friday. Beautiful building, service and food. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. We will return to enjoy all over again
