Stayed here whilst working in area. Room was very good with quality hot drinks including sachets of hot chocolate. Choice of 3 Butcombe real ales with very friendly staff. Evening food menu was a little pricey and the portion sizes were average but it was freshly cooked. Did not have chance to sample breakfast as had to leave early next day.

Rural upmarket pub. Old house with modern amenities and good restaurant with good breakfast. Electric car chargers but hotel location somewhat hidden in little village.

Best food and stay!
Our stay was absolutely amazing! Service was great, everyone was super friendly! We were in a rush to leave in the morning because we had other things booked, so we weren’t able to partake in breakfast and one of the ladies offered to pack us up some delicious croissants and some apples for our travels! We also had dinner there the night we checked in and it was the best food we had all holiday! If we are ever fortunate to come back we will make sure we stay here again!

Nice place
Nice little hotel on the edge of Dorset. We would use it again if we needed to. The breakfast are different and superb. The florentine eggs benedict are certainly worth sampling and the food offer in the evenings was pretty good too.

A good stay
A good stay for a night. Room and bathroom were clean, nice eco touches with the products in the room - toiletries and the drinks. Ground coffee was good, better than the sachets of instant. The bathroom was clean, but looking a bit tired. Extractor fan didn't seem to do a lot as after showering it was very damp and humid for hours afterwards. This, and the starchy towels and bedding did make for a bit of a funky smelling room which was quite hard to air due to only one small window. Food in the pub for dinner and breakfast were very nice and things that were more than average pub grub - tasty options for veggies/dairy free. Service from all staff we encountered throughout our stay was okay. Overall, it did us good for a night and a base to see friends who lived nearby.
