Centrally located in Dorset, Barrows...

Liked: The very generous breakfast offered by Barrows House is served at one of two nearby locations, both owned by Barrows' parent corporation: The Inns of Dorset. One was a half block away - the Dorset Bakery and was truly wonderful. More that we could eat on our first breakfast day so on the second we ordered a la carte and didn't waste a delicious bite.The staff is unbelievably friendly and helpful. Among the best we have had on our extensive travels.
Disliked: The room was cool on our arrival and we could not make the radiators work but the staff came to the rescue and turned up the building's thermostat and then showed us how to adjust the radiators. That was fine for the first night but then they didn't respond either of the next two nights, but we just enjoyed our "sturdy New England" heritage and left the room cool at night. We had a lovely meal at Barrows House night one and loved our helpful waiter Anthony. We ate at another Inns of Dorset-owned restaurant on our second night: Pearl's Place...a fun place for Southern barbeque. Like our breakfasts, the portions at Pearl's are huge!

Liked: Great location, very friendly team, scenic and historic area!
Disliked: Since the property is a historic inn, the sound proofing of the rooms and building could be improved upon if possible - other guests, footsteps and door openings/closings were quite audible.
