The property was okay for whawe required, the wall paper needed redoing, bathroom floor was wet when we arrived, so I nearly fell over, staff were polite
Myself and my children absolutely loved it here. Really disappointed that we hasn't booked a 2nd night. The food was amazing, the staff incredibly helpful and one of the best bits for me was having a mini fridge and milk. Will 100% be back here again.

It was just generally a little run down. Could have done with a facelift.
Food in the pub was reasonable value for money but the quality was quite average.
Great location and very friendly host / staff. Room was spacious and comfortable, but felt a little tired and in need of some decor updates.
Wi-Fi was great.
Nice hotel / pub close to Blandford town! Everything was perfect in the room with a mini fridge with milk, water, kettle etc for us. It was very clean, tidy, safe and very friendly whilst staying there. Only downside is it is a bit out dated need to replace the mattress as it was very old.
Poor room - smelt damp. Rust on radiator in room and bin and toilet brush holder in bathroom and chipped dressing table. Room was dusty in places. Needs a refurb.
A brilliant stay. Friendly staff, room was exactly what we needed and they accommodated an early check in due to attending a funeral. Thank you so much
