Just lovely !
Lovely warm welcome from staff member even though we were late arriving. Lovely late drink in the bar. Lovely (and huge !) room and bathroom. Lovely breakfast. Lovely service. Altogether a really a lovely short stay. (Only minor negative - the wifi was poor to non-existent esp in the bedroom - not a major issue for us, but could have been for some especially as there was negligible mobile reception)

4 night stay in the Stables
Had a wonderful stay (4 nights in the Stables). The Inn is set in beautiful countryside, and I loved the quaintness of the building, lots of different areas to sit in to eat or have a drink, and a nice covered seating area outside. The room was very comfortable, and the water pressure for the bath was great. Food was superb, the best I've had in a pub (a step above what I'd call 'pub food'). Paolo, Tim, Amanda, and the rest of the team were warm, welcoming and super helpful (including when I had a puncture on my first day!). Would definitely stay again if I get the chance.

Lovely Hotel/restaurant
Lovely stay! EV chargers were very handy for us. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Excellent food. Lovely location. Quiet in the evenings and a nice area to walk around in the mornings. Room was great if a little dimly lit! Bathroom was lovely and big with a great shower. Good amenities. 20 mins to Blandford Forum and 30 mins to Salisbury by car so very easy to get about. Overall, a great stay, would definitely recommend for a beautiful country break!

Stayed here whilst working in area. Room was very good with quality hot drinks including sachets of hot chocolate. Choice of 3 Butcombe real ales with very friendly staff. Evening food menu was a little pricey and the portion sizes were average but it was freshly cooked. Did not have chance to sample breakfast as had to leave early next day.

Best food and stay!
Our stay was absolutely amazing! Service was great, everyone was super friendly! We were in a rush to leave in the morning because we had other things booked, so we weren’t able to partake in breakfast and one of the ladies offered to pack us up some delicious croissants and some apples for our travels! We also had dinner there the night we checked in and it was the best food we had all holiday! If we are ever fortunate to come back we will make sure we stay here again!

Nice place
Nice little hotel on the edge of Dorset. We would use it again if we needed to. The breakfast are different and superb. The florentine eggs benedict are certainly worth sampling and the food offer in the evenings was pretty good too.
