As a previous resident of Cerne Abbas and an old employee of Abbots tearoom (I worked there many moons ago as a teenager) I was prepared to run a very critical eye over things on my first visit to Abbots after it had been bought by it’s new owners Nic and Adam 3 years ago. My first impression was that... More

My daughter and I spent most of a week at Abbots this month. We were in room 5, a new experience for me. The twin beds were cozy, and the power shower in the bathroom was outstanding. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast each day, customized to our tastes. I tried both the full English and the vegetarian option. We also... More

This was my first time staying at an English Bed and Breakfast facility. The owners were warm and welcoming and the Full English breakfast with homemade scones and local Dorset tea was exceptional. My daughter and I stayed at several other bed & breakfast facilities during our 2-week stay in England, but this was our favorite. We had to leave... More

Staying at Abbots was for us the quintessial English B&B experience, complete with warm characters, an immaculate room, and the most incredible Full English Breakfast. We were greeted warmly and shown to our room (4) which overlooks the village. The room was beautifully presented with fluffy towels and good quality cotton linen. We had a great night's sleep which was... More

Poor welcome, room dated with creaking bed, television and heating not working but excellent breakfast and wifi a bonus. Have stayed in many b&bs but this was the poorest facilities by far. Agree with another reviewer that a welcome with tea and cake would have been improvement for price of £85! No communication available with owners to discuss our concerns.... More

We have owned this business for 2 years and have improved each room - including your room which was the Superking room at the top of the house. The building is circa... More

We took a group of 31 for lunch at Abbots, a real treat. The selection was pre-ordered from a mouthwatering selection & exceeded expectations in all respects. We have never experienced friendlier or more efficient service. Cerne Abbas is a lovely village & it is delightful that Abbots provides such a jewel in the crown. If parking is a problem... More

We stayed at Abbots for 2 nights in the Superking room. First impressions were good - it's a lovely old building, and we had a nice welcome. Our room was clean, with a powerful shower. However, there was a sign in the room stating that only cash or cheque could be used for payment, and cards were not accepted, so... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our four day stay at the Abbots. We were in the family room; it is a large sized room, with a bunk bed for the kids, a large bed, as well as a sofa (the bunk bed doesn't have a railing, so the upper bunk is not suitable for very young kids). It was very comfortable for... More

I just enjoyed a delightful three night stay in Abbots. I had a quiet, comfortable and attractive room with a king bed and a power shower with great water pressure. Breakfast was generous and cooked to order. New owners Adam and Nic Wilkes are charming. For dinner, Abbots is a short walk down the street from a couple of pubs... More
