Higher Melcombe Manor - Ansty (Dorset)

Totally recommend for a brief pause

Comfortable room, fine views, with great breakfast options including a selection of fresh fruit and local sausages that were delicious.

No problems at all

Our room was contemporary and tidy with central heating, multi-channel TV, and a fridge. A handy kitchenette was useful. The setting of hotel was unbeatable and magnificent, in a beautiful setting.

I appreciated this stunningly beautiful hotel. The room was contemporary and tastefully decorated, included a kitchen area and a dressing table. The experience was such wonderful and I would love to come back...

Just back from 2 nights at Higher Melcombe. Nicky’s super cute vibe, and the breakfasts were a treat with plenty of options. The room was comfortable, though a bit dated, but that didn't take away from the beautiful surroundings.

Loved staying at the king room with views over the surrounding countryside. Everyone was affable and helpful as well as host. Perfect and exceptionally nice location on a working farm in beautiful Dorset countryside made it easy to get to key attractions.

The room was contemporary, well-appointed with tea, a fireplace, as example, I was pleased.

For a unique experience, ask about pony rides for kids. It's a good highlight for families.

It was great base for a wedding celebration.

picturesque valley, beautiful surroundings, communal table atmosphere

Rooms could benefit from a modern refresh!!! Lack of in-room TV may not suit everyone!!! Shared bathrooms require additional comfort items like dressing gowns!!!

Cozy stay in the countryside!

We had an amazing two weeks surrounded by nature and lovely hosts. Nicky and Simon made every breakfast a treat, and their little pets added extra charm. We particularly loved the outdoor dining area for dinner under the stars. Just wish there were more activities for the kids to do during the day.

Nicky and Simon treated us like family, even giving our little one a lovely ride on their pony! The room was cozy, and the breakfast with fresh fruit and farm honey was good.

In my wife's opinion, more activities for little ones would be ideal.

This place suits me perfectly, with great wi-fi, free parking, and a lovely outdoor dining area. The helpful staff provided local info during my first stay. I can't wait to come back for another holiday!

I stayed in a Standard Single Room and it was super comfy! The room had a generous en-suite and a separate living room, a nice touch. The view from the window was lovely too.

The spacious room was excellently maintained, and the hosts, Nicky and Simon, were cute. Breakfast was a highlight including local sausages and fresh fruit. The peaceful grounds provided a perfect setting for relaxation after busy workdays.

Narrow roads can make access a bit tricky.

This venue offers an amazing breakfast with delicious coffee or tea and excellent honey from bee hives, has a fantastic main bar, and features friendly staff along with fabulous, spotless rooms.
