Moonfleet Manor, Nr Weymouth, Dorset, England - Explore & Book
"It's not often you find somewhere that delights every member of the family. In all honesty, previous experiences of family hotels with my lot have been disappointing, but Moonfleet Manor changed all that and exceeded every expectation. Perfect for those with younger children (2 hours of free childcare per night's stay – heck yes!), but equally fun for hard-to-please pre-teens, it has something for everyone. Set in a grand Georgian mansion on a lagoon behind Chesil Beach, there are activities galore: indoor pool, crazy golf, indoor football, arcade games and movie nights for the kids, plus a spa, and delightful restaurant. Staff are hugely welcoming and fun, and we all felt right at home within minutes. Your four-legged pals are equally welcome, and why not bring your friends, sister, or granny too? Spacious bedrooms have a sleek New-England-meets-Scandi seaside vibe – and not a wipe-clean sofa in sight! But you won't be in them much. Fellow guests gushed about how much they loved the place with the variety of fun things to do. This plus the laid-back atmosphere and the setting make it the only family hotel we're planning to return to. Highs Comfortable country-house vibe that will delight kids of all ages, and dogs too Far-reaching views of the sea and surrounding fields A plethora of fun activities both indoor and out – truly something for everyone in the family Close proximity to Dorset's greatest attractions – fossil beaches, Chesil Beach, Weymouth Lows Despite being behind Chesil Beach, you have to go to Abbotsbury or Weymouth to access the beach, but you can get onto the coastal path The restaurant has received mixed feedback for quality and service, but we enjoyed the food when we stayed Dogs are allowed in all rooms. Note there is a small additional charge for your four-legged pal, but they get a bowl, bed and treats" - Kate Parsons
