There was nothing to dislike about Crabbers Wharf. It was just beautiful located, clean, perfect in every way. Even when I broke a plate and told the lady at the reception in the Information Centre, her reaction was to ask me if we still had enough! Just lovely.

Good, clean accommodation, great breakfast, continental buffet with cooked to order full English. Really good quality local produce used. Ours was a simple, but perfectly adequate room with walk in shower/wet room. Fresh white linen and towels. Lovely garden with view across to Corfe Castle and got to see the steam train going through too. Great location for exploring Dorset. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Excellent for our one night stopover - would stay again.
