A Warm Welcome
Excellent hotel, we had a warm welcome, and the views from the windows were stunning, a very quiet spot, nothing was too much trouble
Food was very good too. There were lots of little nice touches that other places dont have. The only thing I didnt like was the paper bath mat which was used when getting out of the shower.

Response from Hotel
Thank you for your kind feedback and we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We use the paper bath mats as they are more environmentally friendly than linen bath mats, however due to the feedback received we are going to revert back to towelline bathmats.

Pleasant Break.
Small,relaxing hotel in the beautiful countryside of West Dorset.
We had an atractive and comfortable Garden Room.
Pleasant Restuarant and Bar with an excellent menu and friendly and helpful staff.
We would be happy to return.

First Class
The hotel is in a great location with fabulous views across the countryside. Everything about the hotel is first class, from the spacious rooms, the grounds, the very friendly and attentive staff and of course the superb food.I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to others and will be returning for another stay at some future date.

Fairwaterhead Hotel
We have stayed at this hotel a number of times the last time being this last weekend. As before the staff were friendly and delivered excellence. It is our first consideration as a place to stay when we are in that area. Not being dog owner ourselves we feel that area needs a little attention but otherwise very good.

A Real Pleasure
Excellent food, and wine, really good service, and comfortable rooms, a real oasis of rest and re-creation, near where Devon, Dorset and Somerset meet, in the most beautiful country, with the sea not far away.

Great Find!
We recieved a lovely very warm welcome when we arrived at Fairwater Head Hotel. Our room was extremely comfortable and of a good size. Dinner and breakfast in the restaurant were both delicious - and what a great view :o)

Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

One Night Only
Quiet and restful hotel. It's a bit of the beaten track but worth it when you get there.
Evening meal and service overall was great.
The shower almost un-useable and the shower screen made the bath access tricky. Apparently its all down to the water pressure and who is using water upstream!!
I only had one night there but I would have liked to have stayed longer.

More Valued Guests

J Tiley (July 2011) It took a long time to find somewhere Dorset/Devon way that was off the beaten track a bit as we wanted peace and quiet and a chance to unwind. The hotel was nicely situated with lovely surroundings and the staff were extremely polite and helpful. It was not more than 4/5 miles from any "large" town so didn't have to do loads of extra driving which was good when it came to venturing out. The food was excellent, we never felt rushed which was a pleasant change, plus the wine list was nothing less than extensive I thought which is always good. All in all a really lovely break & we would definitely come again.

M Stanley (July 2011) We were very impressed with the cleanliness, friendliness of staff and owner. Food was excellent and just the right sized portions and choices. Great to see that it was also dog friendly, gave a talking point between guests which was nice.

D Smith (July 2011) We arrived at about 5ish and were met by the owner who has a great sense of humour! The room was extremely clean and quiet. But by far the best part of the trip was our evening meal which was absolutely superb!! We only wish we had room for dessert! But we will return at another time to rectify that.

Angela Long (June 2011) "We wanted to thank you and your staff for such a warm welcome at our annual WI lunch. We all without exception enjoyed an expertly prepared, delicious lunch which was wonderfully presented and served by excellent staff who attended to our every need, with no request being too much trouble. Having our coffee served sitting looking at the wonderful views over the valley made it a perfect end to our lunch."

Frank & Elsie (May 2011) "We just wanted to thank you for making our Golden Wedding Anniversary celebration a stunning success. All the staff did a thoroughly professional job and the delicious food was beautifully presented. We ate, drank, talked and laughed the night away and the personalised souvenir menus were excellent too!"

John & Kath (May 2011) "We just had to write to thank you and all of your staff for the really great weekend that we spent with you. It really is special when something not only meets but exceeds your expectations, so much so that we hope to be able to visit you again later in the year."

Jo & Alan (May 2011) "We would like to thank you for the superb celebration lunch you provided for us and our guests. You made it a day to remember – each and every one of our guests remarked on the quality and flavour of the food, the lovely setting of your hotel.
To be able to enjoy our pre-lunch drinks & canapés on the terrace admiring the garden & views in the sunshine was an added bonus."

Sue & Peter (March 2011) "We are writing to thank you and your staff for making our evening such a success. Everything was perfect, the atmosphere, the wine, the food and your attention to detail. We have received many positive comments from our party guests and would certainly recommend you hotel to others."

Alison H (March 2011) "What a wonderful find. This hotel was in a beautiful location, with attentive staff and absolutely excellent food. Well worth visiting."

Simon (Feb 2011) "We have just arrived home following our stay last night and wanted to thank you for a wonderful stay. The service, room and food were outstanding."

Val & Pete (Nov 2010) "Thank you so much for all you did to make our Wedding Day such a personal, delightful and special occasion. The flexibility you offered in our choices helped to make the day so personal to us. The food was excellent and cooked to perfection, being nicely presented without being at all pretentious. We are really glad we decided to choose the Fairwater Head Hotel."
