We had heard about their famous RIBS… so booked a table which is advised. They literally melt in your mouth with the most amazing sauce. We also had their South African apricot pudding which was divine. Staff were lovely and the locals were very welcoming. Can’t wait to come back

Really lovely country pub with a local atmosphere and great service. The food was exceptional. I love a burger believe me and I reckon the double bacon smash burger was one of the best I've ever had! Highly recommend!! My fiancé had the chicken and leek pie and was equAlly impressed! This little gem is a must visit if in the area. Oh very dog friendly too, our little puppy spread himself across the pub for a nap whilst we ate!

What a great village pub. We were on holiday in the area and decided to go to this “community” pub and what a great decision. Food lovely and great friendly locals. Charming landlady. These are the sort of places that should be supported. I unhesitatingly recommend.

A fantastic run community pub, overseen by Kerry and Clive. Great beers and excellent food prepared by chef Clive, you won't be disappointed with the selection or the results! A bit off the beaten track but well worth the visit. Make a plan and put it on your "to do" list!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

What a find! Great food, welcoming environment and team, dog friendly. Stayed in the area and this was our local. Settled in for the evening with decent beers and board games. It didn't disappoint. No food pics as it looked so delicious, we tucked straight in. Cheers lads.

Just enjoyed the most delicious lunch here! Four of us plus 4 large damp dogs! The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The service was excellent and the food was absolutely fantastic! Compliments to the chef and thanks to Luke who looked after us so well! We will definitely return! A gem!

Good food and a very comfortable dining experience. Service was excellent and food is always served freshly cooked. Plenty of seating outside with views across the whole valley. Great place to watch the sun go down. Dog friendly and a good children's menu. Recommended to book for an inside table or larger group.

Brilliant course brilliant staff , Absolutely great experience the course is immaculate full credit to green staff and management for what is truly a tip top course , there are normally one or two holes on a course that you think to yourself are a little weak or don’t quite fit right , but not here everyone of the holes are beauty’s get there for a game if you can , played on Monday the 25th of July .

We stumbled across ‘The Stableyard’ and were so happy we did. We were very hungry and the restaurant was full, also hosting a wake in part of it. The staff were extremely friendly and although there was no room to sit down, we were able to order takeaway - we waited a short amount of time and the ladies then said we could sit down as a table had just left. I had the Mac n Cheese, this was absolutely delicious and exactly what I needed. Cheesy, melting goodness! My husband had the special pie of chicken leek and ham with veggies, gravy and mash. Again, this was absolutely wonderful with plenty of gravy and he especially loved the pastry and big chunks of delicious chicken. We will definitely be going back and will book ahead next time to ensure a table - we don’t want to miss out! Lovely staff and service. Thank you.

Fantastic Sunday roast pork. Everything cooked to perfection, lovely thick slices of meat. Chocolate brownie sundae was really good. Struggled to finish it all. Great place to eat. Will definitely come back & recommend to others.

Wow wow wow!! The best lunch! The steak pie was absolutely delicious, with melt in the mouth chunks of steak. Luxury hot chocolate was the best hot chocolate I've ever had. And the coffee was smooth and delicious. We were very full after a big plate of food, but the cakes were way too tempting to resist so took some to go. Absolute local treasure! Great menu from local produce. Thank you!

Had another lovely Sunday roast meal at the Stableyard restaurant in Broadwindsor. Some of our party had pork and others had chicken, lovely hot food, prompt service. Thank you to Linda, Sam and all the staff. Also, thanks for keeping us supplied with your delicious cakes. Next on the agenda is to have the cooked breakfast.

I stayed overnight in the art deco room (Room 4) and everything was great. The bathroom was right out of a luxury boutique hotel - fantastic. It would be impossible to improve on the shower. But that was nothing compared with dinner. I ordered the fish and chips. They gave me THE BEST FISH AND CHIPS I'VE EVER HAD. Incredible. That really took me by surprise and is a reason to return on its own. What a chef. Breakfast was good too. The team were very friendly, letting me into the restaurant a few minutes early for a coffee while we waited for the kitchen to open. I went for the continental. I overheard one of the team had quickly nipped to the shops because I had ordered yoghurt and they had run out. That's service. To sum up? The Crooked Swan really cares about their customers. They have really thought about how to make each stay a special one. It would be better if they had a car park but that's no huge issue as there's a public one a short walk away. Even if they wanted a car park, there really isn't room to build one!

Stayed in room 5 - the room was so lovely but the bath let it down for us. You could tell the bath needed maintenance (tried to be hidden by the bath mat being cleverly laid within the bath) and it looked like there had been some kind of leak underneath. Making us very wary of using it. This resulted in us just using the shower… this creaked majorly when we walked in to it… bit concerning! Apart from that, bed was so comfy. Window could be open nice and wide. Loads of space. Lovely service upon entering & leaving. We had food in the restaurant in the evening and couldn’t fault the food, it was so lovely. Location doesn’t have car park (known after a bit of digging as not explicit on website).

Hands down one of the best boutique hotels around. Stayed in room 6 three times now. And there’s literally no where else around like it. Amazing bed, bath, shower even the lighting is perfect. And the food, well Michelin star worthy in my opinion. The Staff are very friendly and there is always a warm welcoming atmosphere. There are many options for parking just minuets walking distance. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something new, you will not be disappointed.
