We did the dinner, bed and breakfast deal which is exceptional value. There really aren’t many things to fault. The food was of excellent quality- truly delicious and I actually found it difficult to choose each course as everything sounded so good. It also lived up to the promise of the description on the menu. The restaurant and bar are very stylish and the lovely bartender really knew her cocktails, taking a lot of care over them ( the Old Fashioned in particular). The younger staff serving in the restaurant were efficient, knowledgeable and clearly well-trained. Our room was luxurious, comfortable and v clean. We really enjoyed the homemade shortbread. I’m also impressed when conditioner and body lotion are provided… also very big soft towels and lovely bedsheets. Breakfast was good quality with fruits, yoghurt , homemade granola and a good choice of hot food. We went for the buttery, lemony kippers which arrived with a pile of toast. A great experience- highly recommended!

We had Sunday lunch there but it was a disappointing experience. The Beef Wellington at £38 was overpriced. The sauce was over seasoned and the beef was not tender. The waitress kindly changed that to the roast beef for us. The beef with gristle was cut too thick for our liking. The food was piled up high on a rather small plate which made for a rather unpleasant experience. The Yorkshire pudding was lovely and hugh. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice. There are many other restaurants serving better quality food/ cooking with better prices so we will not return.

We loved everything about The Ollerod. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. The staff are all delightful, charming and most helpful. Unfortunately we were unable to dine in and make the most of the skills in the kitchen, but dinner smelt amazing! I would love to come back for another stay

We went for a drink this lunchtime. As we approached a cosy corner table (one napkin and a knife and fork and no reserved sign) the barman bawled at us from the other end of the bar ‘That’s set for lunch!’ It was an incredibly rude and disrespectful way to deal with their customers. I was shocked into quickly choosing another table. A strangely unpleasant experience. We did order drinks - a small and disappointing martini and a Campari spritz with hardly any Campari. We live locally but won’t risk it again.

The food was superb, staff lovely, I was disappointed to see a 12.5% service charge I work very hard supporting families in my job. My husband works on a farm as a farm worker we are not high earners, and no one gives us a tip and we would not expect one. Also does the restaurant not make enough? the food we had was a set menu but mostly we chose dishes that included extra charges so our bill I believe was enough without an additional service charge that no one pointed out. Yes I will definitely go back BUT I will ask for the service charge to be removed. I believe service charges/tipping is a ridiculously outdated concept and I’ve yet to see a decent argument as to why this needs to exist. I feel there's simply no justification for it. If the restaurant isn’t making enough money they should increase their prices rather than attempting to be sneaky with it. This is ignoring that service charges shouldn’t be going to the owners anyway, they should be shared among staff although as I said most other service workers do not get tips.

Beaminster is a stunning town in Dorset: The Ollerod is a lovely old boutique hotel in which to stay if visiting. The peaceful garden is a place to enjoy a wine whilst you read your book. Room One with a good shower: 5 Staff & Service: 5 The Bar for lunchtime sandwiches (best chips ever!!) and excellent wine: 5 Breakfast: 5 Dinner.....A mixed review: Sea Bass Fillet 3 Grilled Sea Bass 5 Rib Eye Steak 2 Starters 4 Cheese 4 Puddings 4 Suggestions: A maître d would be worth employing to oversee the restaurant diners experience, and guide the young waiters. Make the main ingredient the STAR (top quality essential; the steak was poor), and do not over complicate with excessive side dishes.

Superb lunch at The Ollerod. Great service all at a reasonable price. We thoroughly recommend it and looking forward to a return visit. The presentation of all the dishes was superb and full of flavour. We had not been to the Ollerod before and it exceeded our expectations.

Stayed one night for a wedding nearby. We had a ground floor room No5 that overlooked the car park but as we arrived late and really only slept ate breakfast and left it was the perfect room for us. I assume if you were staying longer you might prefer another room, but it’s an old building so not every room has the garden view obviously. Bed was very comfortable, lined of good quality and nice selection of pillows and big towels. Bathroom spotless and spacious. Tea and coffee facilities were excellent and the homemade shortbread was a nice addition. The receptionist who checked me in insisted on carrying my bag which was lovely and returned with fresh milk for a late night cup of tea. Breakfast was delicious I had pancakes with bacon and maple syrup and asked for black pudding. Husband had the full Monty and lots of fresh toast. I would stay there again, helpful staff, beautiful gardens and spotlessly clean.

The ambience and setting was very good. Service was fine but the food was really not up to the standard we had expected. My husband's starter was supposed to be a crab fritter but was so overwhelmed by the accompanying gloop that you would not have known there was any crab there. My son's lamb was mostly fat which had not been properly rendered and there was very little meat in his portion. I mentioned these things to the receptionist as we were leaving but she did not apologise and seemed very blase about it. I wrote to the Ollerod to let them know but did not receive a reply. It was particularly disappointing as it was a significant birthday celebration.
