A gem of a traditional inn. We stayed in room 2 which was clean, comfortable and well equipped. With views over the river Piddle (don't get too excited you could just about jump over it at this stage in its journey) to the fields & farm beyond this inn maintains the ambience of a country local. Service is attentive and... More

We booked the larger room on the 3 nights for the price of 2 offer, and took the dog, who was also kindly treated to the same offer - I wasn't expecting that, so thank you! The room was lovely, with views of farmland and the hills, and horses splashing through the Piddle river outside the window. Nice bathroom -... More

After speaking with the owner regarding the cost of rooms etc., we booked, confirming details of room required, price etc., When we arrived we found that the rooms were clean, bright and well furnished, the views were great with the...

The welcome was warm and the room was spacious and fully kitted out but there were a few problems too. There were too many cobwebs in the bedroom and bathroom for my liking and all of the milk sachets in the room had gone rancid. The evening meal was good but the breakfast was over-cooked and stodgy. To be fair,... More

Had lunch here (thought we would try it after the ownership change) The prices have gone up and the menu is mainly Italian. (Dont get me wrong I love Italian food and go to Italy every year) but in the middle of the Dorset countryside it seems a little out of place. A lot of the old favourite i.e. blue... More
