Excellent location, close to the town, pier and parks. Definitely one to revisit. We love Dorset in Autumn and Winter, for such a break it is a great location with lots to do and places to dine. Don’t miss Durleston Country Park.

We had a very enjoyable week at Conkers despite the weather being wet at the start of the holiday. The location was especially good for our dog with walks on The Downs starting from opposite the front door. The rear courtyard catches the afternoon sun and was a quiet, relaxing place for afternoon tea.
