Luxury Hotel
The Priory is a small, luxury, country house hotel in South West Dorset, located on the River Frome in Wareham, near Studland and Poole. The setting is beautifully idyllic, and somewhere where 'the past is always present, and where peace and tranquillity prevail. Steeped in history, with open views of the countryside, the hotel stands in four acres of lovingly cultivated English cotta

ge gardens and offers lovely guest rooms and suites, highly accomplished menus, excellent wines and superb standards of service. Much sought after by those wishing to enjoy the comforts and ambience of a quintessential English country house, each of the hotel’s 18 guest rooms and suites are individually furnished to a high standard, offering their own unique character and charm; some afford views and glimpses of the River Frome and Purbeck Hills, whilst others overlook the gardens, or the pretty inner courtyard. The Priory is the finest, independently owned, country house hotel and restaurant in Dorset, and is a member of the highly regarded ‘Pride of Britain’ hotel collection (an exclusive consortium of luxury, privately owned hotels).

This season we’re encouraging less cookie cutter, more individually furnished.

Less new, more old with charm, soul and a story.

Less perfection, more history, quirk and patina.

More growing gradually, being considered, and collecting over time. The journey is as is important as the destination.

More caring about the details, the texture, the thought, and the attention.

Caring about the little things, they matter.
