The breakfast was a bit hit and miss
Nice friendly place to stay
Good location for the Tank Musuem, and plenty of free parking. We were lucky enough to be staying on a ‘Friday Steak Night’, which provided a beautifully cooked 8oz fillet with tasty buttery mash. Staff were all very good and our twin room was very comfortable.
Our bedroom window opened on to the main road (the clue is in the address!), but wasn’t too noisy after 11pm and a couple of pints of very tasty Butcombe Original amber ale.
A relaxed visit and tasty breakfast.
We had the pleasure of staying at The Black Dog Inn for one night on 19th March 2026, and what a fantastic experience it turned out to be. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out. The team kindly helped us gain early access to our room, which immediately set the tone for a warm and accommodating stay.
The manager and staff were genuinely attentive and welcoming throughout, striking that perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and their effort to make our stay comfortable did not go unnoticed.
The food deserves special praise. Dinner was absolutely delicious, clearly prepared with care and quality ingredients. Breakfast the next morning was just as impressive – hearty, fresh, and exactly what you’d hope for before a day exploring the stunning nearby coastline.
Overall, The Black Dog Inn offers not just a place to stay, but a genuinely enjoyable experience. Thoughtful service, excellent food, and a cosy atmosphere make it somewhere we’d happily return to without hesitation. Highly recommended.
