West Compton Manor

We were in need of peace, quiet and relaxation and that is exactly what we got. Beautiful surroundings, a comfortable bed and a fine breakfast. Would recommend.

West Compton, like it's owner, is a one off ! The house with its courtyard is reminiscent of a French manoir, beautiful and full of character and interest. On a sunny day having breakfast al fresco by the trickling Koi ponds you could be in the South of France. The red 'balcony room', is spacious, comfortable and quiet. Ashley and Amanda are hospitable and generous hosts and can point you in the right direction for places to visit and eat. Ashley serves up a mean breakfast - and some hilarious stories ! We enjoyed every moment of our stay with them and have every intention of returning.

Ashley made us feel very welcome in his lovely home, our room was very beautifully decorated and furnished with antiques, and fresh flowers. Delicious breakfasts were served outside by the fish pools when weather permitted. Ashley and Amanda were helpful in advising on where to eat and places to visit. There is plenty to do in the area, apart from the beaches we enjoyed Athelhampton and Little Bredy gardens; Hardy's Cottages and the Etches Museum at Kimmeridge. Particularly good for guests with dogs, ours loved it and were made welcome. A very relaxing stay away from the crowds!

Fantastic stay at Ashley and Amanda's place. We had the balcony room and loved the huge comfy bed, ensuite bathroom and sitting out on the balcony in the sunny weather. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful, with lots of different options; we particularly enjoyed a breakfast outside in the sunshine next to the Koi pond. We also loved being welcomed by resident Jack Russells Tipple and Trubble! Amanda and Ashley gave us some great recommendations for local places to eat and overall couldn't have been more helpful. We had a lovely relaxing week and hope to be back again in the future!

What a fantastic find steeped in the Dorset countryside. Ashley and Amanda are so welcoming and Ashley's breakfasts are second to none (I was so lucky to be staying in the fig season to add to the selection available!!) Balcony room was excellent. Couldn't ask for anything more. Would absolutely recommend .
