Short stay in the Dorset countryside.

Our stay was everything that was promised in the literature. Clean room and bathroom, well stocked tea tray, lovely hot water shower and bath. We did experience an issue with the toilet cistern not refilling but staff were on hand immediately it was reported and rectified the problem. Well done! Cooked to order breakfast with good quality tasty ingredients. Would stay here again and recommend to others. A quick touch up of paintwork on the bathroom skirting under the radiator would make it look make it look a whole lot better being the only negative comment.

Was ok for the purpose

Customer service was good. Dirty room wasn't very clean, cups had tea stains from people drinking from them and kettle was so dirty didn't want to have tea. TV comes on automatically ofcourse to fix it you have to unplug it. It was quite dirty. No room service was told, ordered takeaway. Bed was clean and sheets clean towels clean. Because it's near the road it very loud but they gave ear plugs which was good. Bathroom wasn't clean. It was ok for the purpose. Food on menu was expensive though.

Friendly, but occasionally noisy

I've stayed twice at this friendly pub, which offers good quality food, a buzzing bar area and simple, but comfortable rooms. The only issue I had was staying on the first floor, there was too much noise from the bar below, which lasted until late, and meant I couldn't get my family to sleep. This was not the case with the attic room that I also stayed in. Staff are friendly, the restaurant menus and quality of food is excellent.

Really friendly staff, great bedroom, comfy bed, tea/coffee/hot chocolate provided is top end. Great size car park and outside space. Good English breakfast,lots of extra tea if needed. Rooms all upstairs, so if you have mobility issues, it might not be good for you.

Unfortunately a disappointing stay, especially for the price paid. Had all the facilities and staff to be super promising but let down on the details - food was hit and miss, some good dishes and some way below the mark. The towels in the bathroom were stained, and the shampoo bottle was totally empty. Although not a super busy road, the road was extremely noisy in the bedroom and weirdly the tv kept turning on itself during the night, so not the best nights sleep. Having said that the staff were lovely, super friendly and very helpful.

No food - Chef off sick !!

Booked for a one night stay. Sign outside clearly stated meals available every day. Registered, went to our room (which was next to a very busy road but earplugs were left for us on bedside cabinets) which was nice, clean and with a large bathroom. Went down to the bar to order some drinks and whilst waiting to be served were told no food was being served that evening nor, indeed, no food had been served all day as the chef was off sick. When we asked where we could get something to eat it was met with a “sorry folks”, you could drive back to Wimborne. Decided that this was totally not what we wanted so decided to check out and travelled to Ringwood and booked into a Hotel there. Now cannot get any refund.
