Nice stopover
Pros:

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.

Pros:

The room was clean, well appointed and the bed was really comfortable. The location was quiet and we had a great night sleep. It was so nice to be able to have dinner in the pub without driving and the food was really nice. The breakfast menu was great too.

Cons:

It was all good. The only issue was the hairdryer stopped working but it wasn't the end of the world and had we wanted the staff would have got another for me but we were in a rush to head off.
