Moonfleet Manor - A Luxury Family Hotel

This is a family friendly hotel, suitable for all ages, set beside the Fleet Lagoon behind Chesil Beach. It is specially for families with children and has entertainment for all including three pools of various depths to suit all abilities. There is a large games area, The Verandah Activity Hub, and the Four Bears Den offering a two-hour session per nights stay for smaller children. Very comfortable rooms, good, busy breakfasts with as much as you could eat and friendly staff. Plenty of fine public rooms to sit quietly if you want to and a terrace for outdoor food. Highly recommended.

We had great 2 night stay at Moonfleet Manor this week . We travelled as a family to celebrate a special birthday and were impressed by how friendly and helpful all the staff was - especially at the restaurant . This hotel is absolutely perfect for toddlers - my 2 year old twins had the best time - from the veranda , pool and movie room and activities at the crèche - they were entertained the entire time . We have also enjoyed a great massage at the spa and the lovely terrace for cream tea. We booked two rooms as we were travelling with my parents and both rooms were spacious and well appointed . Overall a great place and would definitely come back .

We managed to snap up a 1 night stay here bank holiday weekend as someone else cancelled. We wished we could have stayed longer and asked a couple of times if there were any other cancellations. We made full use of the facilities, which I don't think the website fully represents as there was way more than we expected. The pools, games area, mini golf, escape room, cinema showings, mill and cookie story time. All excellent. The room was fantastic we stayed in Defoe on the detached Fleethouse. It had everything we needed, nice touches like the air con unit, though we didn't need it, it was nice to know for future. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was well appointed. A nice touch was the ability to use their baby monitors so we could enjoy an evening meal in the restaurant, whilst not the best cameras for their night vision it was adequate. We ate all our meals during our stay on site, and enjoyed everything we had. Sandwiches were brilliant during the day, steak in the evening, and the breakfast spread was great. They even did a Sunday roast. Whilst we didn't get to try the pizzas they looked great, and served all day every day available from the pizza shack. The most important part was the service, we were always looked after very well, food came promptly and the staff were on hand when needed and very friendly and polite. They were excellent with our daughter and really made the whole experience more enjoyable. A real credit to the hotel. We can't wait for our return, highly recommend!

My last experience of this place back in 2021 was honesty not very great. The staff were not very accommodating or friendly, the hotel in its self was over-due a makeover, it was just dreary and almost run down. Though my family decided to give it another go as we heard it had recently been refurbished. I'm really glad we did! It has significantly improved. They have definitely the whole atmosphere, the staff were great! Especially a server Tom! Really great. The food had also improved though it did get a bit repetitive in the last days. Would recommend bringing some snack items to have during the day… Another thing you can do is request lobster as a main dish for the evening! The costal walks are beautiful especially in the mornings Overall would definitely recommend a visit if you come down to Dorset! 8/10 (I have also attached some photos of some of the dishes we had, would definitely recommend the Fish & Chips and the Brownie. Also during the August month they have a pizza oven serving Pizza from Mid-day till evening)

We’ve lost count of how many times we’ve stayed here, and it’s always a hit for the whole family—including our two kids, aged 4 and 8. It’s one of those places we all look forward to coming back to! Some of the highlights for us: The room: This time, we stayed in ‘John Gould,’ which was more than big enough for the four of us. The views of the fleet were beautiful, and the kids loved having the extra space. The entertainment: The verandah is packed with things to do—arcade games, a PS5, and even an indoor football pitch. The coffee machine is a nice touch (endless free caffeine—yes, please!), and the vending machine is a nice new addition perfect for grabbing a quick snack. We even managed to sneak in a game of squash this time. The food: The updated menu was great. Every meal we had was spot on, and the kids were happy too, which is always a win. The lounge areas: There’s always somewhere cozy to settle down often in front of an open fire. The staff are brilliant at checking if you need anything, which is a big plus because we rarely wanted to move! One of our favorite parts of the day was sitting by the fire with a glass of wine while the kids watched the movie playing in the next room. They made new friends, and of course, they couldn’t get enough of the free popcorn, cookies, and milk. And honestly, the staff here are what really make this place special. The reception team are always so welcoming and can’t do enough for you. The restaurant staff are fantastic too—they clearly take a lot of pride in what they do and are so good with the kids, whether it’s expertly dodging them on their way to the movie room or bringing over some toys or coloring to keep them entertained. A special shoutout to Karen and Christian—it was so nice to see them again. They’re such a credit to the hotel and made us feel so well looked after. Thank you all for another lovely pre-Christmas break. We’re already counting down to our next visit!

My partner Booked this spa hotel purely on fact that he was booked on a boat fishing competition trip in Weymouth which coincided with my birthday (5/12/24) & so thought he better had 🤭 book me into a local spa hotel for me to enjoy & pamper myself while he was on his jolly with his fishing mates! We wouldn’t normally choose a hotel specifically geared up for young families & we had not heard of the LFH chain before! I had my reservations on our way down! However loved the look of the hotel & grounds from my google search after he told me where we were staying! On arrival we were very pleasantly surprised by the exterior & interior of the main hotel The very friendly receptionist informed us that we had been upgraded! ( great start) and insisted on carrying our luggage ( all 3 holdalls) i dont pack light” ) to our deluxe double room called Lutyens in FleetHouse adjacent to hotel & overlooking the Fleet/lagoon! ( amazing) Couldn’t contain my excitement when we got in room! Massive room, inc small fridge, pod coffee maker, kettle massive bed(super king) lounge, log fire & patio doors look8ng out onto the fleet/lagoon Bathroom had Separate glass free standing shower cubicle with huge rain shower head ( so powerful) & free standing roll top bath! The birthdays have begun! 🤩 We were booked in for 2 nights during Irish storm Darragh ( 90MHW) But we’re very pleased to be locked down in this cozy remote hotel! Esp as Andy had cancelled his Fishing trip! 🙏 Didn’t feel a need to leave the property or go out for food As the main hotel had 3 huge open fire 🔥 places with logs burning in cozy snug areas with sumptuous settees The restaurant was relatively quiet for breakfast & on the Thursday evening just a few young couples with their very well behaved children & the young waiter (dark haired tall & handsome) sorry didn’t get your name was extremely personable & very attentive & friendly we experienced this from every member of staff that we came across, breakfast & evening meals ( was never hungry for lunch as breakfast was plentiful! My only slight gripe was that the meals weren’t quite hot enough for me as I like my food pipping hot, I mentioned this to the waiter & it was relayed to the chef who delivered my request! Food was well cooked & well presented! We took advantage of the main swimming pool & sauna facilities & although pool was quite small we enjoyed a relaxing swim ( just the two of us) there was a baby class on in the adjacent toddlers pool but this did not bother us ( it was so cute to watch) & added ambience to our swim also sauna was very tiny ( maximin of 4) again we had this to ourselves ( good timing) & also like fact that we could pour the herbal flavoured water on hot stones which I much prefer for a healthier infusion experience! I pre-booked a 90 minute ISHGA massage inc facial with Katie in the lovely stunning verandah treatment rooms my massage & facial was exceptional the best I’ve ever experienced & was giv
