  Maybe an underestimated, small hotel in shuffling distance of all that is Shaftesbury. Whilst drinking in a local pub and having talked to those who work locally, I found everyone knows the great reputation without actually having sampled the food (don't waste any more time). I'll tell you how it went.
  
  My room is lovely and the daily room reset has an attention to detail, leaving your stuff as you left it without movement but in consideration of your needs. Free wifi without having to worry about passwords is quick and easy and a small laptop in the room to utilise should you need to.
  
  The staff and management are superb but unobtrusive.
  
  Then breakfast was served. Hot plate and lovely produce cooked to a consistent tee and perfectly ‘to order’, with a great choice of options (I'd book for brunch if it was available!). Wow!
  
  Then the evening meal… lovely wine list but a very reasonable house wine by the glass, started with ‘salmon and crab chowder’(yikes! Delish!), garnished with roast red pepper and a home made selection of salted breadsticks to temper the seasoning, texture, flavour, crunch and audible satisfaction. Really excellent.
  
  Followed by…gorgeous tender lemon sole, plenty of butter, delectable asparagus, and a mixed selection of manageable greens accompanied with a sweet root vegetable, red, orange and yellow pot full of flavour. New pots also to help finish you off.
  
  All served with a tenacious and invaluable service ethic.
  
  Thank you, really enjoyed my meal. The chefs and service own the place so you can be sure of quality, especially with their classic gourmet experience and skill. You don't need to stay here, book a table now and try it, you will be very surprised.
  
  If you do stay, I am sure you will not be disappointed with the levels of service and quality of a menu that can be so often lost in a larger establishment.
  
  5 strong stars and a really sincere recommendation.
