The Frampton Arms is a pub hotel praised for very clean, comfortable rooms and friendly, accommodating staff, with many guests enjoying good value dining and a convenient location near Moreton station and local attractions like the Tank Museum.

Most guests found it quiet, though a few noted noise from the bar or courtyard, occasional difficulty heating rooms, and sometimes unreliable Wi‑Fi. Continental breakfast is standard and often appreciated, but several expected a cooked option, and food quality is generally good with a few inconsistent dishes. Expect a straightforward, comfortable base for exploring Dorset.

No issues checking in and room was very clean. Great continental breakfast as advertised. It would be good if the pub did food a bit later than 4.30pm as there is nothing walkable in the surrounding area. Main town is only ten min drive away though and plenty of options there. Also hotel is right next to a train station, and only max half hour drive to all the main attractions in the area - most are within 15-20 min drive. We would stay here again. Staff were friendly and it was a quiet area

My recent stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. much to be desired. Upon checking in, I noticed that the bedsheets still had hair from a previous guest, which was quite off-putting. This raised concerns about the overall hygiene standards of the hotel. The service was decent, and the staff was polite, but attention to detail in housekeeping needs serious improvement. If cleanliness were better maintained, this could be a much more pleasant stay. Until then, I would hesitate to return.

Lovely hotel, had a quiet room at the back so didn't hear road noise at all. Right near railway line but didn't really hear that either. Happy, friendly staff. Lovely room. Bed was comfortable but the only niggle is I could feel the mattress buttons through the sheet so need extra thick protector on the bed, other than that it was perfect. Really appreciated the kettle, teas, coffees etc & toiletries. Also only 20 mins or so from town.Would definitely stay here again!

Room was clean but very small (barely any room to open suitcase). Right outside the room was a table of diners at the outdoor space of the pub/restaurant. The pub/restaurant had excellent food and drink. It was also within 2 minute walk from the Moreton train station. The Expedia address is not accurate. This hotel is in Moreton.

There was an attached restaurant that was very reasonably priced and a nice continental breakfast that came with the room rate. The rooms were clean and functional. The doors were charming and opened with an old school key. For better or worse, the doors were also older wooden doors and not terribly good at keeping the outside noise out.

Continental breakfast is good for convenience and quickness however would be absolutely 10/10 if there was a proper breakfast included. Other than that lovely location, close drive to view prints. Definitely will re visit and recommended to others.

Food terrible. We had a pie meal when we arrived. Terrible meal. Pastry was rock hard and inedible. It was that hard even soaked in the gravy it was still hard. We had to remove the pastry and put it in the gravy boat. When you finally got in to the pie there was very little filling. No wine as they had sold out!!!!! Breakfast ( cooked) was NOT available. We were not advised on where the rest of the breakfast was staff just left us to it. Not very good!! We had to go in search for it. There was another guest very angry that there was no cooked option. We feel very cheated for the price we paid. Both us and the other guest truly believed a cooked breakfast was included. The ad online seems to of changed since we booked. We NEVER book hotels that don’t provide a cooked breakfast as this sets you up for a long day of travelling a head would not recommend a stay here it’s not as though there is anywhere else around to go to as rather remote.

The room here (room #1) was a good size, clean and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was, given my previous experiences with rooms over bars and restaurants, so that was nice. The continental breakfast was included, but I don’t remember seeing anything vegan, so I really didn’t partake of anything but coffee and juice. I arrived on Sunday afternoon, when it appeared that lots of people were just finishing up with Sunday lunch, so I got the last parking spot, but that probably wouldn’t have been an issue at other times. I didn’t have a meal or drinks here, but it looks like a nice little place. I didn’t have much contact with staff, other than a quick check in and check out, but the people I did see were very friendly. Overall I would recommend a stay here.

Clean & tidy. Staff were helpful, friendly. Breakfast was average & lacked choice. Ham & cheese could have been added to for variety. Apart from Fish& chips & chicken burger, rest of the evening meals were very bland & tasteless. Even Sunday roast was small scraps of meat & over cooked vegetables & potatoes were covered by a pint of gravy!!! If you book to stay there, I suggest you go somewhere else for evening meal.
