Great stay at an excellent Inn
Great people and a perfect room. Good location for visiting many places in Dorset. The inn is an old thatched building with a decent beer garden and covered outdoor eating. The food is very good pub fayre and there are interesting specials. On Friday and Saturday delicious pizzas are also served, cooked in the outdoor wood fired pizza oven Breakfast is included with the room and there are a good variety of choices with quality ingredients. A great find that we will revisit if ever on holiday in the area again.

A need for the owner to spend a night in the room
The room was slightly on the small side , the bed being a standard double it would have been difficult to have put a bigger bed in. The bathroom again was a bit cramped, the loo holder was broken and the doors were out of line and provided no privacy. There appeared to be no soundproofing as it was quite evident that the adjacent rooms occupants could be clearly heard. The Monday morning breakfast was cooked badly, however the staff were very pleasant and helpful

Me and my partner stayed here over the weekend. We absolutely loved the stay, so clean and comfortable. Shower was a bonus! So powerful. Unfortunately my partner was taken into hospital during our last night staying there. But the very kind bartender/floor manager? Accommodated to our needs. So kind and thoughtful. He brought our breakfast up to our rooms. I would highly recommend staying here ☺️ Breakfast was lovely too!
