Really busy Easter Sundsy but we managed to find a table and buy some drinks. Service was good and we loved the atmosphere/ambience of the bar. A lovely characterful pub. We will return.

It's definitely out in the sticks, limited menu, the service is first class and dog friendly, it's not quite finished with the refurbishment but not long now and it will be perfect Martin Heys26 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Arrivexmd as they were just finishing decorating but made to feel welcome and even offered to cook a meal, even though the kitchen was not open (Tuesday, as it states on the website). Room and bathroom spacious and very nice. No road noise and only onevother guest room, so no internal noise either. Breakfasts were superb, our evening meal was so good (best cooked sea bass fillet in a long time) and staff were all really lovely.. no complaints whatsoever..a great stay. John Green14 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Iv stopped here a few times now and it's a lovely little quiet pub. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The owner Steve is a great host. The room are very clean and comfortable. The pub offers fantastic food, all homemade and the breakfast is one of the best iv had in any hotel. If your looking for a nice quiet place to stop for a few night in Dorset you must stay here.
