A lovely one night stay. The pub is in a quiet village location, close to lots of interesting places in beautiful Dorset countryside. Our room was large, with an equally large bathroom. We ate in the pub in the evening. The menu choice was good, prices reasonable and the food was excellent. We had our breakfast served outside in the garden and, again, this was tasty, hot and really enjoyable. Thoroughly recommended.

This is a welcoming local inn with good rooms and a lovely garden area. We ate here in the evening and also had a cooked breakfast the next morning. Both meals were well cooked and reasonably priced. This was our second stay here and we will visit again when in the area.

Spacious room but in need of a thorough clean. All the surfaces were sticky and the dust was everywhere on the floor. The bathroom items desperately needed being cleaned with beach. Also there was huge alive spider in the ceiling green light. We were happy that bed linen was clean and the mattress was comfortable.
