Moonfleet Manor, Weymouth, Dorset

Not at all up to the standard of the other hotels in the group. We were very disappointed and left after one night. Particular gripes - the boiling hot towel radiator in the bathroom that couldn't be switched off, the dirty communal areas, the tired decor.

We got the cheapest room with DB&B during midweek and we were very impressed with the value for money, the bedroom, whilst not spacious, had a huge comfortable double bed, a balcony and enough room for a cot (which was there on arrival). The food was fantastic with coffee and chocolates in front of the fire afterwards. Our LO was happy in the creche and enjoyed his first swim in the heated indoor pool. I can see why people who paid the top rate would be disgruntled at the shabby chic of the hotel but for us bargain hunters at the lower end I indeed thought it was a bargain.

Really not worth the expense, disappointed with quality of furniture in the rooms. staff tried to make up for it and were very helpful, but left feeling disappointed.

the price tag is definitely luxurious, the hotel itself less so and could do with a revamp, in particular the play areas are looking a bit tired. however, the staff are very friendly and laid back and the restaurant is great- so altogether a good weekend option if money is not an issue!
