I have written several reviews on hotels but find it slightly difficult to write this one. We only booked the hotel the day before our arrival so we were given an excellant rate for our stay, on arrival we were met by very friendly staff and were given the choice of two rooms one on the first floor and a...

Excellant venue for a family meal. Champagne in the garden and then a our own room for 14. Service was superb. Food very good, imaginative and well presented with decent portions. A bit more gravy with the roast beef and yorkshire is the only tiny moan I have. I should have asked but was too busy chatting!

Started with drinks in the lounge before a beautifully presented lunch. Delicious food and attentive staff. The best cheeseboard ever. Finished with coffee back in the lounge. A great lunch with special friends

We took my mother for lunch during the "March heatwave". It was suggested we sit outside on the terrace. Although a little uncertain about the idea we agreed, and were not disappointed.

A Sunday lunch to remember. Excellent food, impecable service from all of the staff, beautiful surroundings and a gloriously sunny day. As a returant owners nightmare I am not an easy man to please however credit where it is due -One of the best meals I have ever enjoyed. Faultless.

Although we live near the Priory hotel we decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary here for dinner. What a good choice this turned out to be. We found the staff very friendly without being intrusive. The quality of the food was excellent together with a great wine list. If you want something special is the place to come.

We had celebrated my husband's 50th birthday in August last year with lunch on the terrace overlooking the river and it was delightful. When we asked our son what he would like to do to mark his 16th birthday he asked to go to the Priory for dinner! No wild parties for him! We visited last Saturday and I am... More

Ate with friends here on the 18th Feb 2012, despite living in Dorset it was our first time here ! Having now been really wish we had been earlier, setting, food and staff excellent. We started with drinks in the bar and then ate in the cellar which is a really nice setting, food was cooked to perfection and the... More
