Rooms needed upgrading. Smelt of damp and no decent ventilation in shower room which didn’t help. Shower clean but old.Breakfast only served between 8-9 even at weekend.
Food good. But they did try to charge for room again when I’d paid in full when booked. They did refund it.
Clean. Well maintained. Great location in a character village with picturesque brook. Very nice proper pub and food. Good value for money.
Highly recommended
Very pleasant mine host and friendly breakfast cook; comfortable room; (but bathroom daddy longlegs spider by wash-basin could perhaps have been rehoused). A nice overnight stay at a reasonable price
We enjoyed our stay at the Greyhound Inn very much. A great pub situated in a picturesque village. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. We would love to come back.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable, and the service was absolutely amazing. Thea was fantastic and really made the experience special. The food was great, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The personal touch throughout the stay was a breath of fresh air.

Lovely stay
A lovely stay at the greyhound.Staff really helpful special mention for Thea who was bright and cheerful every morning. Breakfast was excellent and we really enjoyed our dinner one evening. Had lovely weather so able to sit outside under the grape vines. We would definitely stay again if in the area.
Good choice while house-hunting in the area. Quiet clean room with ample breakfast options and a good restaurant for an evening meal. Missed having a shower - bath only.
Probably the best and friendliest pub I have ever stayed in. Superb service with fantastic food, the breakfast was at another level. Will certainly visit again and thank you so much for looking after myself and my son.
Great place to stay. Beautiful Dorset village pub. Lovely cosy atmosphere, tasty food and excellent service. Very dog friendly. Hearty breakfast with particularly yummy sausages.
We only stayed one night in a double room with en-suite in Hattie’s House which is a building across the car park and had a wonderful evening meal in the pub itself.The interior of the pub was exceptionally warm and inviting. The breakfast was good also.
The breakfast was included in our booking, I thought it would just be a continental one but we could chose anything from the menu. We were actually the only people staying on a cold night in winter but the staff made an effort to make us welcome. I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, the chef made the best scrambled eggs I've ever had with chopped chives that really elevated the dish.
Bar and meal on the night we arrived were also excellent. Room comfortable and warm, shower hot and with good water pressure. Thoroughly recommend this place, a lovely traditional British pub.
People friendly and good choice of very tasty food. Room comfortable if a little tired as bathroom needs redecorating and blinds need cleaning. Hotel is in a good location for NT properties
