Stopped off at this lovely country pub for some drinks and a meal. I can't comment on the rooms as we didn't stay. It is a charming pub with a fairly small bar and a separate restaurant area. We really enjoyed the pizza made with fresh local ingredients and would highly recommend. I do need to comment on customer service as an area for improvement, as the more mature lady serving behind the bar was quite frankly rude, not making us feel welcome and giving very short and abrupt replies and giving the sense that she didn't want to serve us. When we asked if there was any chance of eating slightly earlier than our booking time we were quite simply told "no". We expected a much friendlier welcome especially in such a lovely country pub. However, all other staff we came across were friendly and polite.
Lovely dog friendly Inn. The room was of a good size, very clean and airy. Freshly cooked breakfast made to order was very nice. We didn't stay for an evening meal as the menu didn't overly appeal to our tastes, but it was busy when we passed by so I'm sure it would be of good quality. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it if looking for somewhere to stay or eat in the Dorchester area.
We recently stayed for a 2 night trip to Dorset. We had a great tour round the lovely countryside and this place was the icing on the cake for us. Exactly what we were hoping for. Staff were super friendly, helpful and our room was comfy, clean and spacious. We had dinner there 2 nights, food was delicious (pricey, yes but heck, we were on holidays). We will forever remember with great fondness, being asked by the locals to join them for a few drinks and a game of "spoof", along with a Belgian guest - much to the delight of Issac, behind the bar ! Cheers folks, we hope to see you again one day ! ❤️
We stayed for 3 nights from Boxing Day, were do I begin: The room was amazingly spacious and nicely decorated , the bed was very comfy, everything was clean and tidy to a very high standard. The food was exceptionally, piping hot, well presented, and very reasonably priced, as were the drinks. The staff where all so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble, all had a great sense of humour and clearly all got on with each, making it a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be back. My only slight criticism ( and it's a personal one) is if your not a lover of salt, just mention it when ordering your food
Compliments to the chef on NYE. We were dining with friends, my husband and I opting for the Crab Bisque followed by the duo of beef. I have to say it was one of the nicest meals I've ever had. All components were perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The beef was just melt in the mouth divine. Staff were attentive and very observant of special dietary needs. Thank you for a lovely evening..
