We know that a new year brings new hope and excitement, but we also know that it’s as important to put self-care at the top of the priority list, and with that in mind, we’ve created a getaway package that aims to offer you just that.

The package includes a 5-course tasting menu carefully prepared by Chris and the team, and synonymous with the quality and flavour that The Ollerod has become known for. We’ll also leave a bottle of bubbly in your room, ready for you to enjoy on arrival. And, to top off the ultimate relaxing getaway, enjoy a 30-minute treatment each in our Lovegrove at The Ollerod Treatment Room.

Before you check out the next day, enjoy a hearty Ollerod breakfast with us in our breakfast room which overlooks the garden.

COST: Booking prices start at £290 per room, per night, for 2 people sharing.

The offer runs from 2nd January until 31st March 2020.

Terms & Conditions apply and bookings are subject to availability.

We’ll welcome you with a glass of bubbly on your arrival. Then, enjoy a 3-course lunch in our beautiful restaurant on either the day of your arrival, or the day of your departure (we’ll leave that choice up to you) where we show off some of the highlights from our a la carte and small plates menu, using the freshest of local ingredients and flavours and tastes with our distinctive Asian flair.

You will then be treated to a 5-course tasting menu, specially prepared by Chris and his team, with a glass of Champagne included too. A luxurious night in one of our 13 individually-styled rooms, followed by our hearty Ollerod breakfast will gives us a chance to treat you to some true authentic Dorset hospitality.

Prices start from £309 per room, per night, for 2 people sharing and runs from 1 April until 30 June 2020.

Limited availability means that bookings are subject to availability. Terms & Conditions apply.

Bacchus and Rondo are also grown to produce fine still wines.

Our Pre-Show dinner is served from 5 – 6.30pm during the week of the Festival and will be serving you a light main & a pudding for just £20 per person. So popular was the pre-show dining offer last year, that we’ve decided to extend the event into this year.

The Beaminster Festival is a joyous occasion that celebrates art, music, theatre and more with so many events taking place all over the town that visitors are spoilt for choice.

Entrance to view the exhibition is free and open to everyone, so make sure you diarise the date and pop in.
