Excellent value given free cancellation option, free breakfast and tea/coffee/biscuits in room. Nice varied menu and nice bar area with plenty of seating. Rooms are clean, double bed and flat screen premium tv. Nice en-suite. Bear in mind, the bar closes at 2.30pm and reopens at 6pm this time of year.

Staff were friendly but not intrusive. Room was much larger than anticipated and located away from the bar. Also, the room was very comfortable and well equiped. The breakfast was very good and overall, the stay was good value for money.

Great for a short break
Visited for a short break and had a very pleasant stay. Friendly staff, efficiently run traditional pub serving excellent food. Generous supplies of tea, coffee etc in rooms, plus complimentary bottled water provided. Ample parking. Located in easy reach of Sherborne and Dorchester. Can recommend.

I stay in hotels Monday to Friday week in week out, there was no water pressure so the water dribbled out of the shower head, the mattress was about 4 inches thick so you could feel the bed frame, I asked for sausage and toast for breakfast. The bread must of just passed over the toaster because it was far from toasted. This is one hotel I would not come back too

A Well Run Country Pub - that tries very hard!
Just a lovely country pub with a hard working landlord who gave a special welcome! You begin to realise just how much work is involved as an independent owner. His porridge was excellent!

So disappointed. Booked x2 rooms & quite honestly for £85 per room the cleanliness was disgusting & rooms beyond dated! Curtains off the hooks & didn’t close properly, pillows so flat & uncomfortable wasn’t worth bothering with, bed lumpy & not very comfortable, shower & surrounding doors/floors covered in black mold & grime, my friend even had empty shampoo bottles in hers that showed bathroom probably not even been cleaned. Towel rail rusty & covered in dust. Tap cover loose. No bath mat.Kettle had so much scale in it I had to clean it x3 times before making a cup of tea. Worryingly electric fuse board was last checked in 2016 as was the last PAT test on kettle stickers 2016. Carpets looked grimy & needed probably a good clean if not new ones! Furniture dated & decor dingy. On the plus the pub itself the evening meal was lovely & the pub is really nice & service friendly albeit in the morning we weren’t asked once how we found our stay or slept etc. Breakfast was lovely except the hash brown was not cooked & there was mold on one of the jams I opened. In fact all of the honey/jams were either near empty & didn’t look very appetising. The landlord & his staff are very friendly but lack of cleanliness, interest & attention to detail I would not stay there again. We did not bother to say anything, apart from not being asked, it would’ve taken them the whole day to clean that & we only stayed one night but had I booked for longer I would have gone elsewhere. Such a shame.

Room was clean and basic and bed comfortable but was disappointing for the price. We had to ask for curtain hooks so we could close the curtains and shower fixture was broken. Bar staff were great and sorted the curtains immediately. Good choice of evening meal and what we ordered was nice so no complaints there. Overall for the price I expected something better.
