THE Grange at Oborne, one of Dorset’s most attractive small country house hotels, has taken the top award in the 2024 Taste of the West Awards. The hotel, run by Jon and Jenny Fletcher, was named Best Hotel in the South West.

Jenny and Jon were delighted and gave “an enormous thank you to all of the hard-working team.”

The hotel has been owned by Karenza and Ken Mathews, since 2003, and is run by Jenny, their daughter, and Jon. It has 18 bedrooms, an award winning restaurant overlooking the gardens and a wood-panelled private dining room.

There are 24 staff, including three chefs, and the hotel is also a popular wedding venue.
