Très bien, correspond à ce que nous cherchions
Pros:

Confortable, chambre spacieuses, déco sympa, propre, restaurant sur place et place de parking, tout ce que nous cherchions

Cons:

Nous n'avons pas pu prendre le petit déjeuné puisque nous partions trop tôt pour prendre le Ferry mais il était compté dans le prix de la chambre, donc nous l'avons payé. Nous aurions apprécié qu'on nous fasse un prix au moins sur le repas du soir.

A very enjoyable short break in a lovely country pub.
Pros:

The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable with all amenities. The restaurant was also spotlessly clean with a varied menu to suit all tastes. The food was well cooked and tasty. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

There was nothing that we didn’t like.

Convenient and comfortable
Pros:

Location, lovely decor and quiet room. Very clean. Lovely biscuits
Lovely bacon sandwich in loo of breakfast
Quaint country pub

Cons:

I couldn’t get the tv or kettle to work properly but left it too late to report.
Seemed a bit expensive for a night in a country pub but I suppose supply and demand played a part.
Would stay again if I got a better deal.

Nice stopover

Lovely room, beautifully presented, real milk available for morning tea. Nice pub with good food. Didn’t get to try the breakfast as we were staying to catch the early ferry from Poole.

Pros:

The property was well maintained and clean. The room was well presented and modern. Having a fridge available in the corridor with fresh milk and bottles of water was a nice idea.
The food in bar was freshly made and tasted wonderful. Lots of choice
Breakfast was also freshly prepared with hot and cold choices available
All of the staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

For the price we paid, I thought the room would have been a bit bigger.
The WiFi signal was terrible and when it did work, it would only work for 5 minutes and then drop out.

Pros:

Staff were brilliant. Room was perfect, aesthetically pleasing and clean. Generous with teas, coffees and milks etc. Breakfast outstanding and would highly recommend their restaurant as the food is delicious. Room car parking space was a bonus.

Cons:

The only thing that let the stay down was the lack of reliable Internet. We had to keep refreshing connections. However, the owner tried their best to help.

Just right !
Pros:

Just what we needed. Very comfortable beds. Lovely pub downstairs with great food. Lovely owners. We will be back.

Cons:

Nothing really - we needed a central location to access relatives and various gardens so it was a great location.
