Great staff Great location for our requirements

Stayed in August 2025

The road outside is v busy w people driving fast. We overheard all the traffic from the crossroads. This was the only drawback, the hotel is very cosy with great food and service and a lovely pub garden.

Lovely pub/ Inn with large comfortable rooms tastefully decorated. Great food and friendly and service minded staff.

A characterful inn steeped in history and set in the English countryside. We had lovely dinner and drinks outside in the evening followed by a delicious filling breakfast the morning after. Very tentative and friendly staff. It was great seeing dogs with it being a dog-friendly accomodation! A very calming stay altogether.

Staff and food were great. The room was lovely and comfortable. The pub has a nice big outside area to sit.

Could have done with a fan in the smaller room adjoining the main room as it was so hot but when the window was open the traffic noise was loud so I kept the window shut.

Breakfast lovely. Staff lovely.

The toilet didn't flush very well (perhaps faulty cistern), and the room was particularly hot the whole time (especially in the morning even with windows open and fan on). There was a mark on the floor. The stairs were very steep with low bannisters, but this is common with older properties. The full English breakfast wasn't particularly large, 1x sausage and 1x slice of bacon etc, with no way of adding extras

Great value, good location and good breakfast. The bedroom was very clean! Bed was comfy, water pressure was good with HOT water. The hotel was accessible after 2300 without any issue, and check in and out was quick and easy!

Good size bedrooms

Breakfast good, location perfect.

Bit noisy

Stayed in June 2025

Some sticky tables, dog hair everywhere (apart from bedrooms), not a great continental selection at breakfast. The toilet in our room was temperamental

A great location for all we wanted to see and do. Yummy food in huge portions and simple but clean, comfortable rooms. Quiet as well. Lovely staff

Hard to think of anything without being picky. Some fruit juice at breakfast would be good, and maybe some cereal, porridge, continental options. But that’s being picky.

Everything, genuinely. Stayed twice now, and each time it’s done exactly what an English country inn should do.

The noisy traffic

Breakfast was excellent. Good choices.

Have stayed several times. Lovely, clean rooms. Excellent breakfast

It was unfortunate that the boiler broke down just before we arrived so no hot water but we had a discount so not too bad. Actually, having a tepid shower was surprisingly refreshing!

Staff were very good we were well looked after.

Good food Great staff

The dated shower cubicle needs replacing and ensuite wasn't clean around flooring, skirtings and behind door. Bedroom surfaces dusty. Very noisy re banging doors and other guests until they settled for the night. Road noise in morning.

Stayed as stopover on long journey. Friendly check-in. Warm bedroom. Very comfortable bed. Exceptionally smooth and lovely bedlinen. Plenty of pillows. Slept really well. Old and interesting building so a few creaks and wear and tear. Very good English breakfast and other hot breakfast options.

The room was superb, and the bathroom was massive. However, the hot water took a very long time to come through, the floorboards creaked dreadfully, there was no charger socket or adapter for a phone, and it was right on a very busy road. So, as a light sleeper, I got next to no sleep(but to clarify, I live in the countryside on a quiet country lane, and the hotel did provide earplugs) That, notwithstanding, the staff were delightful, very polite and helpful, the evening meal and breakfast were superb. It was also in the perfect location to visit the National Trust property at Kingston Lacy.

It was okay - the room was a little too cosy and lumpy bed , but it was okay

A little tired in places decoration wise but nothing major

Food was good. Decor nice. Room was massive. Room had everything I needed- nice big mugs for morning tea! Ear plugs were a nice touch given the road.

Menu was a bit limited

Comfortable room. Nice bar area with open fire. Good location. Easy to get aroung

Stayed in February 2025

Nothing

Food in bar was very good and welcoming. Ate sitting by a real log fire. Room overlooked the road, so ear plugs were thoughtfully supplied by the hotel. Interesting experience; the TV had turned itself on from standby when I returned to the room (I'd most definitely turned it off at the TV itself). In the morning after making tea, some five minutes later the kettle turned itself back ON. The very friendly staff told me that this happens quite a bit in certain rooms, so unplug your TV etc. before bed.

Bathroom had multiple cobwebs and a big spider, could do with a deeper clean.

Good breakfast and they were amazing at facilitating my late checkin after a wedding.
