Dorset Premier Hotels from the Dorset magazine

Plumber Manor defines �Dorset country hotels� and was a family home when Thomas Hardy was living in nearby Sturminster Newton. Plumber was built by Charles Brune in the early 17th century and has remained a family home of the Prideaux-Brunes ever since. The hotel, the archetypal English country house hotel, is now run as a family triumvirate; Richard is �front of house� and guaranteed to provide a laugh, his brother Brian is Head Chef and Richard�s wife Alison is simply everywhere. Rest assured, they know exactly how to make you feel at home with genuine hospitality.

The dining rooms and the bar all have open fires in the winter and the two family Labradors provide a warm welcome for all our guests.

There's an enormous old sofa in the gallery that is, guests claim enthusiastically, the most uncomfortable thing they've ever sat on, but it's so irresistibly vast and it's part of the family! It is, however, the only discomfort Plumber has to offer.
