    Welcome

    The Green House is an independent luxury 4-star eco hotel, with 32 guest rooms, our own 2 rosette Michelin Plate Arbor Restaurant, a relaxing bar and extensive private event facilities. The hotel opened in July 2010 following a £5 million, 18 month refurbishment of an existing Grade II listed building.  Throughout the refurbishment, and since opening, the environmental impact of every decision has been taken into account: from sourcing the best produce of local Dorset farmers and growers to researching the international supply chain of the fabric suppliers for our luxury furnishings.
