“This charming hotel occupies a 13th-century country house in Beaminster. In the unique guestrooms, modern design contrasts with beautifully preserved heritage details like centuries-old inglenooks and stone-mullioned windows; book a luxury suite for a four-poster bed. A stylish country hotel.”

The Ollerod
This is classic Thomas Hardy country (Beaminster was Emminster in Tess of the d’Urbervilles); a mini market town, with a perfect little square, tucked into a fold of the Brit Valley. The Ollerod (meaning cowslip in old Dorset dialect) has the look of an old coaching inn, a hint of rural manor, but the long, low building - weathered Dorset hamstone, mullioned windows draped in foliage - was founded as a medieval priests’ house.
