Breathtaking views of the rolling Dorset countryside and a relaxed vibe make this space perfect for relaxing with the morning papers and a coffee, or afternoon tea. Local spirits and drinks are available alongside old favourites. On a sunny day, you could be in the Mediterranean! Have a refreshing dip in the pool after a long day exploring, or take a day by the pool with a cocktail and let everyday life slip away.

What better place to say "I do"? Intimate enough to provide the perfect space for family and friends to share your day, but large enough to cater for your every need. Our in-house wedding planner is available to support you however you wish, plus we have a great team focused on delivering your day, your way.

About us Report

When you enjoy a precious break, it's important to know your time will be stress-free. That's why we're putting safety first and have closed our doors to non-residents at this time. We can take care of breakfast, lunch & dinner (if you wish) in our dining room, as room service, or as a takeaway picnic while out and about.

Rooms Report

Spacious rooms with spa airjet massage baths (with shower over) and wonderful countryside or pool & woodland views. The beds are King, Superking or Twin, with space for a cot or foldaway bed for a child. Partial views towards the woodland and countryside (buildings in the foreground distract from the views compared to Spa rooms).

Food & Drink Report

We are so lucky to live in a region with fresh produce in abundance and artisan producers of cheese, wine, beers, vodka and gins. Our menu makes great ingredients the priority and keeps dishes interesting with international flavours. Currently we're open only for residents of the hotel - which means when you book with us you have a safe, socially distanced table for the length of your stay.

Gatherings Report

Time passes so quickly, so spend it with those who matter, be that family or those close friends you consider family. Making use of a venue like Fernhill is ideal. Once the date is set, you can just sit and relax and allow us to make the rest happen for you. Breakfast each morning, activities, bespoke dinners, and a housekeeping service means your valuable time is spent making happy memories.

Team building Report

Whether you need serious sit-down time, or something completely outside of your normal day-to-day work, we can help you deliver it. Everything can be structured so you get the most of your time off-site together. Whether you need a boardroom style meeting for 20 or breakout rooms for groups of 3/4, we have it covered.

We booked the whole place for our car club and they did a great job looking after us. The food was a pre-order from two limited menus, but so well done, we had no complaints. The room was very clean and spacious well aired and our room had a spa bath, great fun.

Lovely relaxing hotel, food was amazing way beyond it's 3 🌟 rating.
Owners and staff couldn't be more welcoming. Good covid policy in place, great base to travel around Dorset and Devon or sit by the pool. Highly recommend this Hotel.

The staff, the atmosphere ( in spite of Covid restrictions, THE POOL !!, and most of all, the food and comfy beds! A short walk to Charmouth and a bus stop right outside, and so peaceful. LOVED this place. It’s a little gem. I didn’t want to go !!

We stopped for a few days in July 21. The reception was very efficient. The meals can not be faulted. Rob and Jo made us very welcome and were always on hand if anything was required. Under the Covid circumstances an excellent job. A BIG THANK YOU to both of you we had a much deserved break.

We really enjoyed our stay. Jo and Rob were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The menu was a bit limited but I understand that was because of covid and staff shortages. The room was lovely and clean. There could do with being more drawer space, especially for those who were staying a bit longer. Also the bathroom was very small. That was just our room. I suspect that other rooms had larger bathrooms. Although I have mentioned a couple of things that could be improved we would definitely stay at Fernhill Hotel again.

Excellent. A short notice booking, fortunately nabbing the last room.
Hotel has a comfortable, relaxed feel, mixing formal & informal styles.
Room was spotless, well provided for & application of Covid rules applied efficiently.
But most of all - staff. Hosts are the welcoming & well organised head of a very pleasant team - including their Chef providing a menu well beyond our expectations. We tasted the vast majority of dishes & not once did the standard skip a well honed beat!
Definitely recommended.
