Clifftop Magic on Dorset's Coast

“We booked the Roundhouse for my partners 40th Birthday. The food was outstanding and really good value for money at £55 per head for 3 courses. The service was impeccable and was amazing. Our waiter (I didn’t get his name sadly) was very attentive throughout the day. We cannot thank him and the team enough. We throughly enjoyed our day and we’ll definitely be back.”

“Wow!! What a fantastic stayaway. A surprise gift for my Birthday couldn't have been any better. The most beautiful place inside and out and that is even in the Winter. So cozy and Christmasy, the staff were amazing! The Pigs attention to detail is incredible making you feel at home every step of the way. Well, food...... absolutely delicious paired with some excellent wine served with a smile. Breakfast stunning!! and the icing on the cake, an hours massage with the wonderful Megan (a must if you are fortunate to stay here) Would highly recommend this hotel, you wont be disappointed!!!”

“I love this place have visited several times. Sadly looking a bit tatty and grubby. Food - Crispy kale was extremely greasy (would hate to think what the calories were) Mushroom starter with a miniscule amount of cheese was far too salty, greasy,overcooked unfresh mushrooms very good flavour though. A disappointing treat for my guest 😞”

“Booked here for my wife’s birthday and we loved it. Quirky rooms, characterful and charming building, really atmospheric bar and public rooms, with roaring fires in the winter. The cocktails were excellent. And you’re just a very short walk to the beach. I would highly recommend booking the restaurant too for any evenings you are here as the food is great. All in all, a great hotel and one we’ll visit again”

“We just had lunch here on Christmas Eve and to be honest it was a bit of a disappointment. Arrived and had to wait 30 mins before having our order taken. Wine arrived but no sign of a beer menu. Finally get our beers 40 mins after arrival which was frustrating when a lot of staff could be seen standing around with their arms crossed having a chat. Food took another 40 mins to arrive only for 3 of the fish dishes to be overcooked and disappointing. Pork was very nice, but a side was forgotten (unsurprisingly given the waiter seemingly didn’t write anything down). When prompted, he seemed to just put in the order and it arrived once we’d almost finished our meal. We did complain about the service and the fish and were “compensated” with 4 beers being taken off the bill but the discretionary service was still on it - had it not been Christmas Eve, we’d have asked for that to be removed too. On the whole, not good at all. It also wasn’t very busy, there were multiple empty tables around us. Edit: My brother in law and I ended up in bed all day on Christmas Day being sick, neither of us had eaten anything since this meal, nor had anyone else gone down ill so the only assumption could have been food poisoning. Not a nice way to spend Christmas.”
