All staff welcoming and unobtrusive. As staying guests we also had a table for the pub food, which was excellent - good selection and different portion sizes. We had a 3-course evening meal and the cooked breakfast. Served quickly - hot and tasty. Coffee served with breakfast was really good.
Landlord and staff were really friendly, professional and helpful. We are looking to move to Dorset and the Landlord was excellent giving us some useful tips sharing his experiences since moving to Dorset himself some years earlier. Evening meal and breakfast were also excellent. We will certainly be going back.
The family room is spacious and comfortable and pleasantl. The staff are friendly, kind and welcoming..
The breakfast was great. We well definitely stay again.
English small village stay. Loved every bit of my stay, welcomed by friendly staff who took very nice care. Would love to come back. Breakfast was delicious and refreshing.
The room was clean and ready for us on arrival. Could do with some modernisation but everything was in good working order and plenty of amenities for drink making and biscuits provided in room. The pub itself was very cozy and did excellent food. The staff were really attentive and friendly too. Orders for breakfast were taken in the evening and everything was prepared fresh in the morning with hardly any waiting. Great service and would definitely recommend.
Check in was great, we got there earlier than expected. As we had to be off early in the morning, we couldn't stay for breakfast, so the manager provided us with a hearty take away lunch, lovely thick ham butties. Kept me going all day.
Nice pub, a couple of decent real ales on, we didn't eat there but the food looked, and smelled nice, and we heard a couple of the customers commenting nicely about it.
Fantastic stop over. Very interesting 18th century old coaching inn converted to Pub/Hotel. Nice outside area to have a few beers and bite to eat. Kitchen was closed when we arrived but our excellent host asked the chef to made us some toasted cheese sandwiches and fries, which we ate listening to some great nostalgic music blasting away from the outside speakers. Definitely have the the pork sausages in the morning. Locally made. Best I've every had!

The room was clean and warm when I booked in, the welcome was very good and the food excellent
I would call the room we stayed in cheap and cheerful. Room was pretty clean, the only issue we found was quite a bit of black mould in the shower cubicle. The staff were very friendly and remembered my wife’s intolerances for breakfast. The breakfast was very good, well cooked and nice ingredients used. We decided not to have any evening meals after reading about the service charge they automatically add to bills. We don’t agree with this and never understand why places do this as it only upsets customers and puts them off returning. If you are looking for a cheap room and a good base to explore the area then this place is a good option.
Very friendly staff, lovely evening meals and just about anything you like for breakfast. Smallish rooms but perfectly adequate . Would happily go there again.
