What a wonderful place to stay! Delicious home-cooked food, nice accommodations, but the best part was that my wife and I were treated like family!

Located at the end of a primarily single track lane, you'll find this charming pub. If arriving between 2pm and 6pm the owners will give you instruction how to access your room. Starting with the accomodation - the bed was larger than average and exceptionally comfortable. A couple of very tasty homemade biscuits awaited us on the room's serving tray. How lovely! Tea and coffee also in the room, however the milk is kept in the fridge at the bottom of a very short corridor. Disappointingly, one of our folded 'clean' large towels was still dirty, and whilst not affecting us personally it may be worth noting that the shower cubicle is on the smaller side with an older model Mira shower. You'll need to turn the main dial to the left, and the water temperature reaches hot almost instantly. We'd booked an evening meal for 6.30pm, and whilst the dining area was pretty empty at this point within an hour it was full. My meal was heavenly, I cannot praise it enough - a starter of salt & pepper squid on a garlic and lime mayonnaise, a main of sticky beef with rice and an Indonesian-style salad. Absolutely amazing! Breakfast was wonderful too - a small selection of cereals (Weetabix, Alpen or Cornflakes), with the option of pre-prepaired chopped fruits and natural yogurt; followed by a full English. I'd definitely recommend a visit to this pub if you don't mind a drive down a narrow lane -you'll probably not find a more tranquil location.

Fantastic service, superb foods and by far the best Palmer beers in the area

Only had Sunday lunch here. It was great. Pork and apple, before that a delicious mushroom soup. Dessert was good, but you could argue the fine points of Dorset apple tart!

Such a marvelous location that serves great food made from local produce. Vegetables and fruit grown in their own garden, Dorset meats and shellfish, and good beer. Excellent playground, so kids are entertained. Would highly recommend.
