We had a one night stay on a Sunday so could not sample the evening dining. Our room was very quiet, comfortable and quite luxurious. We had breakfast in the dining room which was very beautiful. The continental breakfast was excellent. We would stay again.

Just returned from a great 3 night stay in this gem of a hotel. Perfect location within easy walking distance of Highcliffe Castle and Avon beach. Staff were extremely polite, friendly and helpful in particular Ryan, the Operations Manager. We didn't eat any evening meals here but the breakfst was delicious and well presented with fine-dining crockery and cutlery. Our room was very large with a huge bed and a big light ensuite bathroom. The mattress was a little soft for our liking (just our personal preference) but we mentioned it to hotel staff and were immediately offered an alternative room - excellent customer service. We shall definitely return - worth paying a little more for such a great hotel

Lovely comfy big bed! Large bathroom with a great shower, breakfast was continental - could do with a menu to choose rather than be asked what you would like - not the best but ok, Good overnight stay, Just an observation- the room we had had a huge fir hedge/trees outside the window - about a metre away- had to have light on even on sunny day as was so dark! Staff friendly and helpful.

Lovely hotel, room was luxurious and well equipped. Friendly staff and all areas of the hotel were clean and nicely decorated and maintained. Only gripe was breakfast - we were told breakfast was included only to find out that you had to pay extra for cooked breakfast. The poor communication during breakfast made us feel that we had to keep asking for things rather than have everything explained on arrival. The waitress was polite but some menu guidance would have been appreciated instead we were left guessing which made breakfast quite an awkward experience!

Staff very friendly and helpful. Property dated and in need of an update here and there - eg tap on sink swivelled round when turning on and off, head board on bed wonky, lots of dust in room, and hairs on the pillows.

The best thing about the Lord Bute is its staff; they are warm, personable , friendly -really nice people - but sadly not always efficient and on the ball ! They cleaned the room, but forgot to leave towels; so we came back late to a bathroom with no towels and no staff at that time of night to find some for us - we had to phone an emergency number to sort it out. Breakfast waiter, - one of them - head in the clouds forgot the butter, forgot the toast. Didn't check if we had all we needed. (needs more training ) No fruit juice, no bowls of fruit, no fruit yoghourt. Bed was comfortable and warm. Despite the lack of precision and sloppiness in the way it's run I would use it again .

Good: Attending wedding at Highcliffe Castle and this hotel is literally five minute walk … the breakfast staff were very polite. Poor: safe not working, no toiletries, Electric sockets unsafe, and parking is pot luck ( we were lucky). Service at breakfast very slow and kept forgetting our simple orders … cause: only one member of staff both mornings and so extremely busy.
