The hotel was a charming mix of history and luxury, with serene garden views but limited hanging space in the rooms. The staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, making the stay delightful. The location, amidst beautiful gardens leading to the river, was truly breathtaking, offering a peaceful retreat. The dining experience was mostly delightful, with a few exceptions to avoid. Overall, a lovely stay with minor room and dining drawbacks.

The hotel offers compact rooms with contemporary decor, some overlooking a picturesque garden and river but lacking storage space. The service is a mix of helpful and polite but lacking personal touch at times. The location is ideal for exploring the Dorset coast and countryside, with beautiful grounds to enjoy. Dining is good but slightly falls short of expectations. The facilities are well-maintained overall.

The Boathouse is a charming hotel in the heart of Wareham, overlooking the river Frome. The magical building and attentive staff create a wonderful atmosphere. The modern conservatory annex lacks the charm of the main part but offers comfort with a view.
