Trevlig Inn
Pros:

Trevligt Inn i en liten by på landet. Gullig och tillmötesgående personal. Stor säng vilket var skönt, då det ofta är väldigt smala dubbelsängar i England.

Cons:

Minus att inte wifi funkade på vårt rum, bara nere i baren.

Excellent location to visit the tank Museum and surrounding area. Staff are exceptional!
Pros:

Everything!! The staff were very friendly and efficient. Maisy in particular looked after us so well in the restaurant. One of us is coeliac and the restaurant were well organised to deal with her dietary requirements. Free parking is a bonus and the room was good size.

Cons:

The Cider was too strong but that was not the fault of the pub.

Very enjoyable short stay
Pros:

Situated in a very pleasant village with easy access to the A35 and Weymouth nearby. Staff were very friendly, room was clean, comfortable and nicely maintained. We had Breakfast and lunch at the pub and it was very good.

Cons:

The only downside was the busy road outside with no pavement on either side of the road for a short distance.

Pros:

La struttura è molto carina, sia nello spazio interno che quello esterno. Esternamente ci sono giochi per bambini.
La camera molto spaziosa con due stanze ampie, il bagno più grande rispetto ad altre strutture.
La colazione fatta al momento e inclusa nel prezzo è molto buona e con offerta varia, sia per una colazione classica anglosassone ma non solo.
Abbiamo cenato al pub, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
