Great stay , friendly team , good food , lovely location .
Pros:

Lovely Location . Staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
Good food . Very Clean

Cons:

There was nothing we did not like .
We had a fan in the bedroom as it was extremely hot .
However a mini fridge for Milk and cold drinks should probably be provided in the hot weather .

Lovely place to stay in a beautiful location.
Pros:

Lovely traditional pub, room very clean with comfortable bed, staff very good.
Great breakfast with good choices and very tasty.

Cons:

Would have preferred a room with proper bathroom, however did have a shower cubicle in room with separate toilet. I know they do have rooms with proper bathroom so easy enough to request that I would imagine.

Pros:

Petite auberge idéalement située dans un vlllage sur les hauteurs du Dorset. J’ai adoré, de la chambre au petit-déjeuner. So British.

Ideal for what we wanted.
Pros:

Full of character. Good mattresses and pillows, impeccable service. Excellent breakfast. Warm and friendly. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Cons:

Nothing really. It’s an old building and has its quirks but that’s part of the charm.

Good apart from comment above
Pros:

Style and location! Not forgetting the car park

Cons:

There was a small outdoor space we could have accessed from our room 12. The door was locked and it was also our only view from our one window . This space was neglected !scruffy overgrown ! I was furnished with a small table and a couple of chairs , with a little effort it could have been so pretty ! I found this very sad !!!!!
