A great stay, warm welcoming, friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you.
Lovely big breakfast to start your day and beautifully prepared meal in the restaurant after a long day.
With two dogs, we appreciated the safe and scenic spaces to walk around. The Bark Park outdoor field, with its sandpit and climbing equipment, was brilliant. Overall, we couldn't fault anything. The restaurant/food was perfect.
Thank you. 😊
The room was beautiful and it was nice to have separate bedrooms and a fully stocked kitchen with big refrigerator. Grounds are beautiful and it was a quick drive down to Lyme Regis where we spent quite a bit of time enjoying the coast.

Place is run down and needs an upgrade ,place was dirty and fire place was not working sad news but the. View was amazing.
The room was lovely and perfectly clean, but the towels were old and not of a standard I'd expect. The fire escape light shone all night in the room - recommend bringing a mask to sleep!
Stayed in suite, facilities fine but was one of the warmest weeks of the year and the room had only a small opening skylight. There was a floor fan but still stifling. That the only criticism - staff friendly and went the extra mile. Nice relaxed stay apart from the stifling room temperature. If not so hot would have been five stars.
Lovely location and pretty, well maintained grounds. However, our room was sadly really dirty for a hotel which isn’t budget. It definitely hadn’t been cleaned from the previous guests. There was tobacco on the floor and the shower and sink were honestly gross. We were scared to even use the towels. Ran a wipe over the bath and the wipe was black. The bedside tables weren’t so much as even wiped. Tv didn’t work. Such a shame as we had a baby with us who wants to crawl everywhere so it made it a pretty stressful stay. Should’ve read the previous review as it echoes the same. I honestly hate to be that person to leave a bad review but in this case it was more than warranted. Didn’t bother going to tell the reception as it seems the previous person who complained didn’t get anywhere.

Ok but could be so much better
Came here for a weekend getaway but didnt quite meet up to expectations. It was labelled as a luxury escape yet lacked basics such as milk for a cuo of tea on arrival or shampoo and conditioner. We stayed in a studio but found there werent even wine glasses yet there was a cork screw, and there was insufficient cuttlery as if things had gone missing and hadnt been replaced. The room wa snice enough, but the bed spings very noisy whenever you moved and the room was very light in the morning easpecially given there was a small glass pane in the door that couldn't be covered. We also found that the noise from other units travelled easily and we could hear people laughing downstairs. Location was great however and lots to do in the area. The other things to note was that there were a couple of larger groups that were quite loud and so for a couple looking for a quiet break it wasnt the place for us. However, if your a group lookkng for a place to all stay it might be perfect for you.
Fantastic place for our overnight stay. Polite, courteous and professional staff. Lovely location with view of Axe valley, conveniently located near Lyme Regis. Will definitely return.
The staff were excellent, accommodation was super and food really tasty.
If you are staying for just one night bring toiletries and milk etc for making a hot drink as neither are provided.
Cranberries Hideaway is a hidden gem in the heart of the countryside, and a stones throw from Lyme Regis. The owner is the nicest man, super helpful and accommodating. The rooms were beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend this B&B which also offers self catering too.
A few converted barns in the middle of a working farm. Still run by the farmers. A luxury apartment was awful. Stains on the floor and mattresses. Cobwebs and dust everywhere. For £250 a night. AVOID!!
Beautiful accommodation and location. Would highly recommend.

Comfortable but lacking atmosphere
Bed was very comfortable, hot tub was a bit scummy, food was good, neighbours were noisy, service was vacant and local area is always closed

Wouldn’t describe as a hotel and spa, rather b&b
Not a typical hotel and spa having done many luxury stays. This is more informal and would perhaps be better advertised as a b&b as a more accurate description. Hotels tend to make the beds everyday and replenish the bedroom with water and tea etc, and the spa’s are highly luxurious. This wasn’t the case and is more basic, e.g polycotton sheets, ageing off white towels, lumpy pillows, marked carpets, not quite the high end or high quality expected from what they advertise it to be, however once we got past the this is was nice a break.
The communication on check in wasn’t grand and we found things a bit disorganised amongst the staff but I found that if you asked for things the staff would happily help. The spa is a nice add on but if you’re going with the intention of a luxurious spa you might be a tad disappointed. All in all, nice place if looking for a down to earth place and plan to spend more time out and about rather than in a spa setting.
