Visited with 3 work colleagues for the Christmas Party lunch
Great atmospheric pub and friendly staff.
Turkey main was excellent, one of the best. Turkey was wrapped in bacon with stuffing. Cauliflower Cheese, Red Cabbage, Pigs in Blankets, Whole Carrots and Sprouts.
Would return again.

Excellent Christmas Party Lunch

Visited several times before for food and have been really impressed by the food and service. The pub has a broad menu which could be the issue. Seemed very rushed, and the food not to the usual standard with the vegetables a bit soggy and over cooked.

Not the first visit…

Ordered a lite bite beef Lasagne when it arrived it was just a small bowl of tomato puree and layers and layers of pasta sheets. 

Decided to have a pudding I ordered the chocolate pecan pie …. The base was stale, the pecans were soft and the gooey middle was revolting. The only nice part was the raspberry sorbet that was delicious. Cost was £7:95  wasn’t worth the price.

Staff are lovely but wasn’t interested in feed back. Shame as the pub comes with great reviews just shame about the quality and taste of the food!

Poor quality of food but nice staff

Lovely staff . Clean not very warm. Cod and chips were ok. Dry mushy peas. The chocolate sphere? Mmmmm...... It was a chocolate sphere, with a curl of caramel ice cream ( not even a scoop) sat on a pile of biscuit crumbs. Definitely not worth the £10.50 price! I tastedmy daughters chocolate pecan pie it was stale and quite the most disgusting dessert I have ever eaten. The raspberry sorbet was nice but the chocolate pastry base didn't taste of chocolate and it was soft. The filling has left a horrible aftertaste. Ordered a coffee to wash away the taste and that was cold so an expensive mistake eating here.

Poor

Stayed for one night, all the staff were really welcoming. We had a meal in the restaurant which was delicious, and then stayed (in room 5) for B&B. 

The room was lovely, bed comfortable, the shower was hot, and had everything we needed (tea/coffee etc. and toiletries). 

100% recommended if staying in Dorset, on en-route between destinations (we were travelling from Devon to Kent).

Lovely country pub and great rooms

Welcoming. Main course good. Pudding disappointing, not homemade, not offered coffee which we could have done with to warm up. 
Very little heating if any so left rather cold.
Good ample parking……………………………………………………………………………………..::::

Average

Stayed here for 1 night. The pictures of the rooms look great old fashioned pub log fires etc 
Was given room 7 on arrival was shown to our room very thing looked fine but when the member of staff left we noticed a few issues 
Tea stains all over the skirting 
Thick dust everywhere not been cleaned in months 
Extractor fan not  working in the bathroom 
Bathroom floor very dirty
Both shower heads need descaling 
Bed very uncomfortable 
Carpet needed a good hoover 
We discussed this we a member of staff and she was very apologetic. We went out for dinner and returned some 5 hours later and none of the issues had been resolved 
We spoke to the manager this morning just to be told sorry but that still £115 for one night in a dirty room 
The breakfast was ok but could be hotter 
Would I stay here again definitely not

Rooms need a good clean

Honestly the best bed and breakfast I’ve ever stayed in, when we arrived we were greeted by Imogen who was so friendly and helpful. She showed us to our lovely room which was so clean and spacious, the sofa bed was already set up for us, towels on the bed and menus for us to look at. Milk and water in the fridge. The bedroom was perfect size for a family stay, big tv on the wall, lovely big bathroom with beautiful bath tub, they even supplied their own shampoo and conditioner.

They left me extra milk for my baby for when we got back from the fair. The bed and pillows was so comfy. 

We booked our breakfast for 8.30 got downstairs and drinks were already out for us, the food was gorgeous best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Each table has a selection of jams and honey. The attention to details was 10/10.

They have a beautiful private garden with their own chickens and they even grow their own vegetables which is so lovely. My little boy loved the chickens. 

Was taken back by this little hidden gem and will definitely be coming back next year.

Thank you so much for a warm welcoming stay.

Lovely stay after Dorset steam fair

Family night out after day at the beach Fantastic menu really different options, then the food was great, Mac burger (yes fried Mac n cheese), rump steak, fish and chips and crown burger all great, deserts, dark chocolate sphere brownie, and delivered by excellent waitress.
Monday Night and busy really says it all prices slight up on current average but best meal we have had out in a good while so easily worth it highly recommend a visit.

The pub/ restaurant experience to be judge against in dorset.

Our wedding party had all the rooms the first night and we had 4 rooms after the wedding. Lots of people arriving at different times but handled wonderfully by the staff. We had the Hardy Room for our meal on the Friday evening - service and food great. Excellent choice for breakfast both days and the staff were so fun when we were leaving on the Saturday morning for the wedding venue. Beautiful stay and lovely staff, rooms, food. Highly recommend - we had a great time.
