Mortons House Restaurant in Purbeck

So for years we’ve been saying that we must try Mortons. It took our gorgeous friend Rosie Thurgood starting to work here to prompt us to visit. The Sunday lunch menu is incredible. Beautifully executed food and great value. Service of course faultless.

The was an afternoon tea birthday celebration but the standard of the food was disappointing. There were only two types of finger sandwiches. The scones had clearly been reheated and were still steaming hot 20 minutes after being served and therefore the clotted cream melted into butter and were very chewy. The staff did offer more scones. The macaroons were of a poor quality - soft and not crispy on the outside. The venue is lovely and the staff polite and helpful but overall the quality of the food for the price was disappointing.

If you want fine dining experience with the most wonderful staff then this is the place for you also add in the rooms , most comfortable beds and great bathrooms and of course Corfe castle what more could you ask for

This was an amazing place to eat. The welcome, the roaring log fire and the well set out dining room. The food was pretty amazing. But the high spot was the service. The hostess Ronnie helped create a revised main course to suit my allergies and she did it with care and good humour. We plan to return when next in the area.

We had dinner at Mortons Manor while staying in the area and had an excellent experience. Every course was delicious and beautifully presented and the service was spot on. The staff were welcoming and friendly but also very efficient and this made for a perfect evening. The hotel itself is delightful with lovely sitting areas for drinks before and coffee afterwards. It’s certainly somewhere we’d love to stay.

Lovely hotel, we spent a night here as part of a birthday, kitchen was still being upgraded, but the food was great, would highly recommend

We held our wedding at Moretons because of previous stays. We found the manor by chance and have stayed numerous times since. The food is out of this world! The team at Moretons are amazing and serve the most delicious and beautifully presented. Our wedding breakfast was amazing we had chicken liver parfait, followed by roast beef (amazingly prepared it melted in your mouth) with seasonal vegetables and then we had Dorset apple cake! Our guests were blown away. Nothing was too much trouble. Can not recommend Moretons highly enough!

Good food, well presented. A bit too ‘safe’ though, could be more adventurous with ingredients. Service not great. Receptionist on the phone for ages kept us waiting and server friendly but lacked food knowledge and finesse.

Had a lovely meal, quite expensive plus 10% added service charge, try the Apricot Tarte Tatin, for 2 ,memorable !

A lovely meal in beautiful surroundings. Service was as it should be - attentive and polite. Good wine selection including by the glass and half bottles, though the mark-up is rather high. To be expected I suppose.

Pre booked(essential), fabulous oak panelled lounge where pre dinner drinks were taken. The dining area is spacious and quiet. Serving staff all made sure one had all that was wanted with a very pleasant manner. The food excellent and good value non champagne French fizz. English wines available.

Stayed here during a long weekend in Dorset, but this review is specifically about the dinner restaurant. Outstanding meal, well composed dishes with thoughtful trimmings- chicken/asparagus terrine, herb crusted lamb, interesting desserts, in a relaxing country-house ambience. Expensive perhaps, but an excellent meal - well worth a visit

Friendly, efficient and courtious. The staff were excellent. The service was prompt . The food was excellent,well presented and you could taste what you were eating

Lovely place, Kizzy on reception was brilliant. Ronnie's service is fantastic. Thankyou team Morton!!

Booked for lunch at Mortons Manor as wanted something a little different. Inside the manor house it is absolutely beautiful - however understandably quiet as lockdown restrictions have just been lifted. We were pointed towards the bar/terrace area and we took a seat. Waitresses were walking round tending to other tables, (only two other sets of diners present) but we continued to be unnoticed. After 20 mins of not being approached, we had to go to the bar to ask for menus. We were then approached and orders taken. The food was disappointing; missing items which were ordered, and majorly overpriced for the mediocre quality & substandard service received. We weren't asked if we wanted any salt & pepper, werent asked if we wanted any sauces, and only asked "how was your meal" once we were done. Sadly there was a mistake where they mistakenly tried to overcharge us for items also. We really wanted this to be a decent experience but now wish we went to a local pub instead. Perhaps an evening meal would be better at Mortons Manor ?

Fine restaurant located in various ground floor rooms of the hotel. Elegant and warm atmosphere. Professional and attentive staff in a friendly service. The food (better the mains that the appetizers) was really well presented and, what's more, tasty and properly cooked. Desserts were also good. Important wine list with significant markups. Definitely, the food is good value for money. To be visited again.

We had the Christmas menu and everything right from the delicious bread through to our desserts was amazing. The food is top quality, presented beautifully. The staff are friendly, efficient and Covid aware. The restaurant is beautiful and was very Christmassy. I want to go again now! Will definitely try and book up again for next Christmas.

We had dinner here whilst staying in the hotel. Cannot speak highly enough of it. Food was wonderful and served by pleasant staff who appeared to enjoy their work.

We were staying in Corfe Castle for a few days and wanted something a bit different from all the pubs, and decided on Mortons Manor for a nice birthday meal. We were thrilled with our choice, a gorgeous manor with stately, tasteful decor and very friendly staff. The dinner was delicious, my partner and I both had the steak which was cooked perfectly, and the cheese board complete with birthday petit fours was a great way to finish the meal. Meal prices what we expected considering the setting and the quality.Overall just what we were looking for, a great, friendly experience and one we would thoroughly recommend.

Very good food. High end dining but not in a stuffy way. Nice wine and friendly staff. The sea bass was excellent

Absolutely delicious food, extremely attentive service, and lovely atmosphere - an unforgettable experience overall!

We enjoyed a fabulous Valentine meal here. We had not visited for a while but loved the new decor, the relaxed ambience and the fantastic food. A pre meal perusal of the menu in the lounge by an open fire was an excellent start. Friendly staff took our orders for food and drink and the staff in the restaurant itself were sweet and attentive without being gushy. We thoroughly enjoyed all three courses and I have to say it was the tastiest fillet steak I have ever eaten.We loved it so much we’ve just booked a table for Sunday lunch!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal in the restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. Definitely a place we’d visit again.

We had a meal in The Morton House Restaurant last night & we couldn't fault it. Well deserving of its AA 2 star rating. So, so tasty. Would recommend anyone to go there & the staff are terrific! Thank you

Came here on Friday evening with family, we had a drink in the lounge area then went into the restaurant, the food was well presented and very tasty, my only criticism was the waiter was dressed very casual, something I wouldn't have expected from an upmarket Restaurant/Hotel.

Recently refurbished and reinvented the hotel and dining room offers an elegant and calm atmosphere. The food is excellent and the staff were attentive but in a relaxed comforting way. We were very happy with the overall experience and would definitely recommend it to all.

We met family here for lunch. They were coming from Finland so chose this as a typically English setting and we weren’t disappointed.The log fire was lit and a comfortable sitting room awaited us for pre lunch drinks.The food was good and I was very pleased to find vegan options for myself.The staff were delightful and very professional.Prices were good and we will definitely go again if in the area.

Excellent service backed up by innovative chef, There was no rush and the young man who served us was not only well-trained but had a pleasant nature to boot.

Very enjoyable stay really enjoyed it, very friendly staff. With a lovely atmosphere and surroundings.

We booked a meal at the Mortons House Restaurant for our wedding anniversary, wanting something special. Special is what we got! We arrived and were put in the Oak Room to order drinks and look at the menu. Comfortable chairs and sofas in a lovely wood panelled room. We ordered our meals and were shortly called into the restaurant. The food was superb. We had scallops to start, followed by spiced rump of lamb. The lamb was perfect, beautifully spiced and cooked. Dessert was also lovely. All in all, a wonderful way to spend our wedding anniversary. Not cheap, but well worth it for a special occasion.

Stayed at Mortons hotel with my partner and highly recommend the hotel and restaurant. Very welcoming, friendly staff and gorgeous food and atmosphere.

We spent 2 nights at the hotel and after a quick perusal of the 4 pubs in the village decide to eat in the restaurant. It's not cheap but the quality is excellent, in fact we were so impressed we ate there again on the second night. Friendly and attentive staff, a reasonable choice on the menu and great quality combine to make for an excellent meal.

Посмотрели отзывы, дошли от замка до ресторана. Но, увы, в ресторане не было мест, потому как все было занято постояльцами. Получив милое «sorry” с улыбкой, пошли восвояси назад. В общем ваш поход может закончится ничем.

On the first night it was just the two of us. On Sunday we had family join us Sunday evening for an excellent meal. It was very relaxed and the staff were perfect.

Stayed 2 nights half-board. Evening meal essential to pre-book. Good menu with Dorset flavours, Reasonably priced drinks & wine list. Background music is correctly background. Free parking. Wheelchair access.

We stopped for a cream tea after visiting the castle. The restaurant is within a very quaint and traditional English country house hotel.

Our family are very dispersed geographically and it's been ten years since we've been able to assemble twenty of us on the same continent, so a brithday lunch was a really special occasion and it was important that everything went well. Morton House were perfect: the first phone call to enquire about a booking was handled in a friendly and professional way; response to emails was swift; the hotel took great care to look after the allergies of some of the diners; the venue was delightful; and, most importantly of all, the food and service on the day were both excellent. This was our first visit to the Morton House, but it won't be the last

We enjoyed a Sunday Lunch at the Hotel. It was fairly quiet there were only a few people dining that day but we had a good lunch with my wife having the beef and I had fish. All nicely presented. Would recommend.

As others have said this is a place to visit for a treat. We visited over the Easter weekend and had drinks outside before going in for our meal.

The hotel is really old with lots of atmosphere and original features, but very up to date with interesting things on the menu and a varied and reasonably priced wine list. Four of us ate for my great-niece’s 18th birthday and there was something on the menu to suit us all. I had hake - perfectly cooked- as were the others’ venison, steak and pork. We commented afterwards that the portions were very well judged, and though we all felt we’d had plenty to eat, we weren’t too full to enjoy some desserts and a lovely birthday plate they put together very last minute for us. The service was perfect. We will definitely go again.

If you fancy a treat, try this restaurant. The food is elegantly presented and of a very high standard. Service is really good.

We enjoyed a superb dinner in a nice dinning room, the menu was pretty extensive for the time of the year and the food was delicious. Excellent service from very friendly staff.

8 of us went to dinner and had a great time. The food was excellent and the service attentive but not suffocating.

The Christmas party menu was very good value at just under £30 each. A fair choice of dishes, well cooked and nicely presented. The wine list is good with a range of wines to suit different budgets. Typically for UK vegetarian choices quite limited. (1 main, 2 starters and 2 desserts ).

Stayed for 2 nights at the hotel with breakfast and evening meal. Everything superb, food and service first class. Thoroughly recommend.

We dined on 2 successive nights, so the menu was the same - a good range of dishes to choose from, and locally sourced ingredients. Well worth a visit.

We had lunch here on two occasions one of which was Sunday.The hotel has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and staff were all pleasant and welcoming. The food was very good We particularly enjoyed an excellent mushroom soup and the cod with chunky chips.Service top rate.

A good and varied menu to choose from with very good food and service. it is not a cheap place but good value for money

Delicious afternoon cream tea. The scones were fresh and warm. The place was nice however it took some time for the waitress to come and take our order although the place was empty. We also had to pay at the reception because no one waited on us when we finished. !

Fabulous food and drink. Service is professional and friendly too. Just be aware that parking can be difficult so plan to arrive early.

Melt in the mouth scallops, risotto oozing with saffron, duck crispy and tender, pistachio cake superb. Atmosphere calm considered and friendly. Thoroughly recommended.

We ate in the Mortons House Hotel restaurant every night of our stay - and were never disappointed. The Cod was outstanding, as was the fillet. They also have a very good wine selection.

Situated in a 400 year old Elizabethan house we half expected Walsingham to be serving. Happily the menu offers an excellent range of dishes providing us with a delicious meal. Good service and atmospheric setting.

We booked to stay here about a year ago as we were attending the Tank Fest at the tank museum up the road.

Freshly cooked, served with a smile in an unusual enviroment. What more can you wish for. The Restaurant is really Good and Prices match

We had the most wonderful dinner, food was delicious, service excellent would defiantly use this hotel again for an evening meal. We had dinner did not stay at the hotel. It was my husbands birthday we had other accommodation booked but will stay at this hotel the next time

We booked for Easter Sunday and had a lovely 3 course meal for a good price. It’s a traditional place with a formal yet relaxed atmosphere. The food was excellent so we’d definitely go back if we are in Corfe again.

We visited for a coupley Sunday lunch. On arrival (easy parking) we had our jackets taken and were sat in the wood paneled lounge to have a drink in front of the log fire to choose from the menu. Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive and the food was proper restaurant quality. Given that it was a 3 course menu with coffee the value was very good. Vegetarian options were interesting and delicious as was all the food we had.

The food was amoungst some of the best i have had from this type of restaurant. Superbly presented and and very, very tasty. BUT shame about the service we received. Firstly we were offered no bred and yet others had, no water either was offered. We had to ask for the wine we ordered. We werenon residents and asked if we could drink in thier bar. First drink fine, any drink we wanted after that we had to go to the reception to ask to be served. Shame really it did put a little dampner on the evening. I would certainly have no hesitation in recomending the food.

Wonderful menu somthing for everyone .beauriful foid service excellent relaxed atmospher .service very goid staff lovely

Enjoyed dinner and full English breakfast while staying in the hotel. Staff were attentive and helpful.

Ed is the chef and he has "Masterchef" talent. His Gin-cured Salmon starter with the local lamb or beef makes a perfect dinner. Wine list not adventurous, but some reasonable value can be found. Restaurant manager quite a character!

We enjoyed our stay at Mortons House very much - especially because of the very attentive, always smiling restaurant manager. Good food. Very nice surroundings.

I met three friends here and we had a most enjoyable evening in the restaurant of this very comfortable hotel,...

Stayed at this hotel and decided to eat in the restaurant after having their breakfast very nice had pre drinks in drawing room and a food order was taken once starter was ready we were then shown to our table which was very nice any drinks were bought to the table by waitress food was a good standard and well thought out menu lovely ambience to this restaurant would definitely recommend

Excellent wedding breakfast with 3 choices on each course and the most addictive sandwiches on thick bloomer bread!!

I had Sunday lunch here. It was not at all busy so service was quick and the staff polite and...

We could not describe ourselves as regulars at Morton's House, but each time we have visited we have left feeling pleased with our experience. The ambience of the hotel is traditional - for example the deep sofas in the wood panelled lounge where we choose our menu, and the elegant dining room lined with historic prints. More importantly the food is delicious! 0n this occasion the portions were larger than we needed, and we felt was excellent value at £26.50 for a tasty three course Sunday lunch including tea or coffee afterwards. Why was it no more busy on a lovely sunny Sunday?

Booked in for dinner here. Most of the diners were residents but we were made very welcome when we booked and arrived. Ambience is quiet. We had aperitifs, 3 courses each and a bottle of wine for sixty pounds a head which was very good value. Mussels and scallops to start were excellent. We had mains of bream and pork fillet which were both very good. Dessert was also excellent, particularly the unusual cheesecake with balsamic which I thought was outstanding. A fitting last night of our holiday.

Had a lovely leisurely lunch outside in the garden terrace. Staff were lovely and friendly. Place was busy but never felt under pressure to leave or finish up. Nice, varied lunch menu. Something for everyone.

We visited Corfe Castle by train from Swanage and wandered into this lovely hotel/restaurant for afternoon tea, which was very reasonably priced. lovely setting and friendly staff.

I had never been to Mortons House before but will certainly be going back. My birthday was on a hot day and on arrival we were given the choice of sitting in the lounge or outside with a drink while reading the menu. We chose outside and sat in a lovely quiet courtyard. It felt miles away from the hustle and bustle of Corfe Castle. The menu was well thought out with a good mix of both formal and more relaxed meals. The meal itself was in the restaurant which was very elegant with enough space between the tables for privacy and music playing gently in the background. They had also made sure on a hot evening that it was kept cool which was very welcome. The food was superb and definitely the best we have eaten in Corfe Castle. We both had seared salmon to start, followed by sea bass for me and hake for him. Portions were a good size - not too small or too large. We both had pistachio cake for dessert and mine had "happy birthday" written in chocolate around the edge of the plate which was a lovely touch. We had coffee and chocolates in the lounge. The service throughout was excellent. The staff are friendly and make you feel relaxed and welcome. I also liked that although the restaurant looks smart you don't have to overly dress up. I was in a summer dress and my boyfriend was in jeans and a shirt. I did not pay the bill as it was my birthday but I thought the prices were about right for the quality of the food and the surroundings in this corner of Dorset. Overall I would highly recommend Mortons House for a meal - for a special occasion, a romantic dinner or a treat. I look forward to returning there.

We stayed two nights and the first enjoyed an afternoon tea with fresh scones and lots of jam and cream. Difficult to fault set in the lovely old wood panelled sitting room. The second night's dinner provides some interesting and enjoyable dishes, well presented but the dinning room decor is much in need of updating to do justice to the Chefs creations and would much enhance the overall dinning experience.

You might be a bit daunted by the appearance - oak panelling, reception in the lounge before dinner etc. but definitely make a date to enjoy this place. The staff are delightful and make you feel special - even when I ordered a local beer in preference to the higher than average priced wine list. The menu is relatively limited - and rightly so. Food is lovingly prepared and presented and delicious. Also, for those with the disposition a wonderful photo opportunity in its elegance. The bill was very reasonable for the quality of food and experience - we paid about £35 per head including drinks.

We visited Mortons House Restaurant for a birthday celebration whilst on holiday in Lulworth Cove. We studied the menu in the relaxed atmosphere of the lounge and were taken to the dining room when our starters were ready. We shared these as we wanted to be sure of leaving room for a dessert. Our main courses were simply delicious and it was almost impossible to choose a dessert - we wanted to sample them all. Everything was cooked to perfection, it tasted amazing and was served by friendly and attentive staff. We could not have chosen a better venue and highly recommend a visit. It most certainly deserves its 2 AA Dining Rosettes.

The two dinners and two breakfasts were really excellent. The staff dealt with all requests promptly and with a smile! The chef and his team and all the other staff who looked after us are to be congratulated on a job well done.

A welcoming ambience- lovely to sit in the courtyard at lunchtime. Highly recommended. We have visited regularly over many years & the standards are always high.

I reviewed this restaurant just over a year ago when we took my mother there for her 80th birthday. We were taking my mother again, this time for Easter. It was a huge relief to find that the restaurant was still as good as last time. My husband and daughter had fillet steak, one medium rare and one medium, both cooked to perfection. They came with oven-dried tomatoes, onion puree, wild mushroom and truffle sauce. and a metal basket of chips. Neither my husband or daughter could eat many chips which looked lovely and crispy, my mother who very rarely eats potatoes thought that she would try one and ended up eating nearly all of them declaring they were the best chips she had ever tasted! My mother had the Crottin of Goat's cheese with Fattoush and cous cous salad, dried plum tomatoes, baby spinach with a tapenade dressing. As she doesn't like olives my mother asked if there was another dressing she could have instead, they made her a lovely herb dressing which she thoroughly enjoyed. I opted for the Smoked Haddock kedgeree risotto without the deep fried poached egg. They offered to make it a normal poached egg but I still declined. This dish can be ordered as a starter or a main course. As I know the portions tend to be on the large side I had the starter size, which was just right anything bigger and I would have had to leave some! It was delicious and I was really pleased that I had chosen it. The dessert menu also brings it own problems - what to choose! My mother had the warm pistachio cake without the coffee sorbet, it looked more like a tart when it arrived but it certainly disappeared quick enough! My husband had apple pie and rhubarb with Birds Custard. This came as a small apple pie with separate sticks of rhubarb and a puddle of custard, it looked really good and it was a close run between my mother and husband as to who would finish first! My daughter and I went for the old favourite Mixed Berry Eton Mess, instead of being served in a glass it is beautifully arranged on a plate, making it easier to eat! There were plenty of strawberries arranged over Clotted Cream Ice Cream and Strawberry ice cream, this was topped with mixed berries and Muscavado Meringue. Such a wonderful mix of flavours without being too filling! The service was impeccable and the restaurant manager was very knowledgeable and helpful with queries about some of the different dishes. We had a table by the French doors in the dining room which overlook a terrace where there is a long pond, plants and tables with umbrellas for the warm sunny days, there were even a couple of hardy souls sitting outside having pots of tea. A really excellent restaurant for both guests of the hotel and visitors. The building is very old in beautiful Purbeck stone and plenty of character inside, worth a visit just to see the building that dates back to 1590. The restaurant has held two AA rosettes for ten consecutive years which is excellent.

A delicious meal last night at the Mortons House Hotel Restaurant. Perfect service makes such a difference....polite, friendly & attentive. Couldn't fault it. Wouldn't hesitate to eat there again.

We've eaten here twice and the food has been excellent both times. Great choice of food with options for different tastes and vegetarians looked after too.

A lovely relaxed meal in comfortable surroundings. Friendly staff, enjoyable meal. A good evening. Interesting building!

Stayed at hotel for four nights. Room warm and food good. Breakfast cooked for you. Staff friendly and helpful. Drinks not over priced.

We stayed at the hotel over a long weekend and ate in the restaurant - fabulous meal - excellent standard and matched by the service.

Old world formality ......... if you like that sort of thing. Reminded me of the old David Niven movie for which he got the academy award. Perhaps unfair comparison. The food and service was excellent but over priced IMHO.

Nicely cooked food, the usual range of meat and fish, limited vegetarian options, but for a three course meal with wine, it will cost £60 per head. Even if money is no object, I would suggest there are better examples of fine dining for value for money.

Being local and we frequent every good eatery there is we often pass this place but never stopped, we had my mums 70th dinner here last night 16/02/2017. The setting is lovely, staff very polite and helpful, on arrival your sat in the oak room which is a lovely olde worlde wood panelled room with huge log fire, restaurant has only 15 tables and each sitting last the whole evening, no rush, no pretence at all not even background music which personally I think would be its only criticism but it is not a young persons place to dine, we are in our 40's and felt like kids as it turns out it was the best choice for dinner on a 70th as only 3 of us as very peaceful and no groups, no noise etc just very pleasant and after dinner which was superb ( cannot fault food in any way ) we sat back in oak room and had coffee, just about everyone in there was dosing by fire and we're all guest apart from us, all in all great food, great staff, great location, gents toilets could do with refurb otherwise highly recommend for dining and prices are average

we stayed in the hotel and had option of a meal in the restaurant one evening. we chose the vegetarian options and the food was wonderful. The breakfast choices were excellent too. I would recommend the restaurant even you were not staying at the hotel

There was something on the menu for most pockets here, and the food was really well presented by smiling staff. Fish is easy to over-cook, and mine wasn't, and I liked everything it came with. The hazelnut tart was a little dry, which is a shame as it looked wonderful. Wine was excellent - the house reds and whites being great value, wheres some of the other wines seemed expensive. This is a lovely place to sit and eat, particularly if you begin and end in the comfy lounge with its big log fire. We felt very looked after here.

Inside the historic hotel building is a wonderful restaurant. The menu is interesting as it blends solid favourites with well considered taste combinations. Presentation on the plate is visually splendid and the taste matches. And they know their customers. This is fine dining at affordable prices and with sufficient thought to the traditional expectations of quantities. They get the balance spot on. The cooking was excellent showing skill, flair and thought. I wish I lived closer - so I will definitely have to go and stay again to enjoy the restaurant. And the service was perfect: friendly, knowledgable, attentive and watchful without being fussy. Top marks all round.

We booked the Christmas Eve 'Gala Dinner' at Mortons House Hotel Restaurant. The staff were very accommodating regarding the dish choices. The food was excellent; delicious and beautifully presented. Thank you. You made my birthday meal special!

Food good but don't like the restaurant since it has been modernised. Has not got such a nice feel. Called in for morning coffee and afternoon tea and was hoping to see the lovely fireplace alight with logs as the lounge is very characterful and inviting but on both occasions during winter we sat looking into a bare fireplace and the receptionist could have been more welcoming. Felt we had woken her up and I think it is very important that the first person one encounters when entering a hotel (usually the receptionist) should make guests feel welcomed.

Worth a visit but expensive for some ordinary and in fact not very inspiring dishes. The best dish was a special of Venison which was superb but starter Scallops small and not as good as in a pub the previous day. Chocolate pudding not that good. Expensive hotel to keep and lovely venue but we would not go back. AA** a bit surprising.

Came here as part of a shooting party on Friday eve. From start to finish the service was faultless. Ronnie was the perfect hostess all evening from start to finish, knowing names, remembering what people were drinking etc. Service at the table was very attentive but not intrusive. The food was excellent, stunning flavours and excellent presentation. It was a wonderful experience and being local we will definitely be back.

We enjoyed great breakfasts, freshly cooked and nicely presented; the only drawback was the kitchen insistence in over flavouring some dishes to the detriment of the excellent ingredients; .e.g strong Italian seasoned air dried tomatoes swamping delicious pork and leek sausages, strong French mustard swamping delicate smoked haddock. Generally excellent service, but had to go and look for the kitchen on third morning when cooked dishes failed to arrive, and we were left alone in the restaurant!

Staying nearby I wanted somewhere special for my partners birthday. Did a bit of research and found Mortons House it was stunning in all departments. Food was to die for superb combinations presented with tlc and passion. Service excellent . Friendly helpful and attentive from the receptionist and waitress who were fantastic. The location is stunning, the restaurant and lounge area are relaxing and tastefully decorated for the period and romantic. When your eating in this calibre of restaurant in Leeds you would be paying through the nose. Our bill came to a mere £93 starters mains dessert coffee beer and wine for both of us absolutely excellent value here for gorgeous food. Having managed both rosetted and michelin starred establishments for many years Mortons House is well deserving of a Michelin Star infact its the best meal we've had in a long time. Thank you very much to all the staff on the night of 3rd November 2016 for making our dining experience a wonderful one.

Firstly I have not stated here or had a main meal so can not comment on them. However we frequently stop for the lovely and well priced afternoon teas. The gardens are lovely (unless wasps are out in force) and the building itself is stunning. The lounge is particularly beautiful and snug when the fire is burning. Recommended!

The Morton House is a stunning renovation of a historic Dorset manor house and the restaurant complements the loving care used in creating this beautiful piece of history. The bar has an excellent range of affordable wines and the menu is creative and adventurous. We had both dinner and breakfast there and appreciated both the food and ambiance.

A delicious variety of foods were served with panache. This could easily be taken as fussy but the quality was up to the standard set by the language of the menu.

Our party were provded with a private restaurant, very tastefully decorated. The meal was excellent and expertly prepared by the resident chef.

had a outstanding traditional Dorset Cream Tea; two scones and extra cream and jam without demur or additional cost. Excellent and friendly service. Lovely sitting outside and at least one can park more readily than in the village center.
