The Frampton arms was the favourite pub of the RAF, who were stationed at the local former Royal Air Force base in Warmwell.

My partner & I stayed here for 2 nights and would definitely recommend.
The main reason for our trip was to visit Durdle Door and other beaches on the south coast. Looking at hotels in Weymouth, we found that The Frampton Arms was roughly half the price and only a short car journey away (20-30 mins).
When booking we did not realise that Moreton train station was over the road- which was super convenient as we went to Weymouth for dinner (£6 adult evening return) and could have a couple of drinks!
The room was clean, spacious and decorated nicely, with tea & coffee facilities, hair dryer, hot

Very nice decor and the service is very good. However, the food was not up to the standard I would have expected. Not really hot enough and the Thai Chicked my friend had just wasn't up to the standard I am used to. Enty of potential but needs to work a little harder. However, I would say that the portions were of a good size.

What a wonderful meal we had on Sunday. It was a last minute booking for 9 adults 2 children and a newborn. The food was perfect (8 roasts, 1 fish and chips and a couple childrens meals). The staff were friendly and helpful. It was perfect as we felt we had the room to ourselves l. We had a lovely afternoon. We will be back.

Delicious dinner followed by the best warm brownie I have ever tasted. I had the steak and chips. The steak was cooked to my request which was medium, well seasoned and well rested. The accompanying peppercorn sauce was the perfect partner. Then I had the brownie. The only negative thing I can say is the presentation. On seeing the dish it didn't look appetising and the ice cream needs to be softer, but once I had a taste... oh my, absolutely sublime. The staff were attentive and friendly and I would definitely recommend going there.

Spent 3 nights here and loved it. The room was clean, the bathroom even cleaner! We had twin beds; very comfortable and the meals were super. A good base from which to explore the area. The best part of the Frampton Arms are the staff. They were polite, helpful and friendly. No hesitation in recommending The Frampton.

Stayed just for one night, but the room was lovely, clean & spacious with good onsuite and comfy bed. The pub itself is very nicely done, tastefully and smart but not pretentious. With a great outside area in the front and garden out back. The menu looked good, although we didn't eat, but the Cask beer was great.

Very nice stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly the guy at the front desk (didn’t catch his name). Great food for breakfast and dinner, nice garden area for drinks in the evening. Lovely room, spotlessly clean. The only issue we experienced was with the temperature control in the shower. Other than that it was a perfect stay, especially with the short drive to the coast. Definitely recommend!
