We had a lovely time at the Frampton Arms. The room we stayed in was comfortable and very clean. Good shower. Nice and quiet after the pub is closed, which isn’t very noisy to begin with. The pub is reasonably popular and has nice outside seating. Good food and large portions. Friendly and helpful staff. There is the occasional train passing by, as the pub is next to a railway track and tiny station, but this doesn’t give much annoyance as trains are few and far between. Continental breakfast is mediocre. Free parking. Would come again.

Fantastic location and very clean. The staff were very welcoming, efficient and helpful. The location is brilliant. Very easy to explore the whole of Dorset and opposite a train station, (Moreton) if you want to use the train. There’s also a bus stop opposite. We were close to the Tank Museum, Clouds Hill and the village of Moreton has a beautiful church with stunning windows, and it’s where TE Lawrence had his funeral and he is buried close by- you can visit his grave. Excellent location for exploring. The food was good and reasonably priced- we ate there on the first evening. The only drawback was the road noise sometimes during rush hour, but this is not the fault of the owners! A lovely stay and very reasonable. We were here during a heatwave, so the aircon in the room was appreciated. There is also a co-op close by for convenience too. The breakfast was generous and included too. Staff very friendly and welcoming. The Frampton family are also historically connected to the Tolpuddle Martyrs (the family were on the wrong side of history, so this was a fun connection when we visited that area too! ) Lots to see and do and near Chesil Beach, all the Hardy bits and pieces, Cerne Abbas Giant, Dorchester, Blandford Forum, Poundbury, etc. -all easily reached by car.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Check in quick, given all the info we needed. Classic Double room was larger than expected. Well stocked tea and coffee and biscuits. Lovely clean bathroom,good shower, plenty of hot water. Continental breakfast was fine and catered for gluten free. We ate in the restaurant for dinner. A good selection of dishes at reasonable prices. The majority were gluten free. The food was excellent. The pub is next to the railway crossing and station, but no noise overnight. Would definitely recommend.

My third visit. Very comfortable bed and clean bedroom and bathroom. On site EV charging is a great facility, plus easy parking. Whilst no cooked breakfast what is offered is very good and there is plenty to eat. Great pub with excellent food - very generous portions. Very accessible to be able to explore Dorset and the option of the train station on the door step is perfect if you don’t drive.
