    Beautiful room but it was quite hot despite having the fan on all night.

    Lovely historical pub in a picturesque location.

    Room was a little warm despite the fan, as you might expect for mid summer. But still slept well.

    Great location, really well managed and excellent staff. Very good food an choice of drinks. We also visited and had coffee at the sister hotel, which was nice too!

    the rooms were a tad hot but to be expected with an old property

    my bridesmaids stayed at this hotel the night before my wedding. the venue organised a group dinner, and sorted an amazing room for hair and makeup on the morning of. they were so kind and accommodating. it was just perfect.

    The Inn is just beautiful - the quintessential English pub in a gorgeous village. The staff were all extremely friendly, check-in was easy and the room- described as snug - was indeed snug but very well designed. The bed was comfortable and from the homemade oaty biscuits to the cute bottle of local milk, it was all lovely. However, the stand out feature was the incredible food at dinner. Not only was it beautifully presented with stunning garnishes from their own garden but the dishes were thoughtful, original and totally delicious! Highly recommended all round!

    A very nice break in one of our favourite hotels. Wish we could have stayed longer.

    Only a very minor point really, but we did find the service at breakfast was marginally below their usual very high standard. It looked like they were a bit short staffed, and having waited quite a while, we had to remind the person serving that they hadn't taken our order. As I said, this was very minor and didn't spoil anything. The fact I mention it is because, from experience, this is a rare occurrence at this very well run hotel.

    We have stayed here on more than one occasion and it has always been a great experience. This time the room we booked was flagged as "small" (it was all that was available for the 1 night we wanted), but we were pleasantly surprised at how relatively spacious it was. As ever it was a very comfortable stay in a quintessentially English village setting. The building is full of character too. The breakfast was excellent, with a great choice from the hot food menu as well as an array of cereals, fruit etc. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

    We stayed on an exceptionally hot day and there was no ac but it’s an old building and you’d be unlucky for this to be a problem.

    Lovely old pub with cool interior and awesome selection of local food and drink.

    The bed was too small for us.

    Integrated with the local community- they had a prominent sign detailing and locating all local suppliers. We were treated to a performance of Morris dancing in the Acorn car park. The food and drink were outstanding. Service would not be better.

    Our room was at the top of the hotel and as my husband is very tall, he had to be aware or ceiling heights. But the room was comfortable.

    The staff were attentive and polite and the food was excellent. We will be returning

    It was not the fault of the B and B and probably won't affect many people but getting a taxi anywhere costs a small fortune as they have to come from dorchester or Yeovil. A short trip cost £40.

    Great stay. Staff were outstanding, very friendly and helpful. Really good breakfast.

    Breakfast was delicious. Home made granola and muesli available, fresh fruit salad and yogurt. Small pastries and a good choice of hot food. My husband had full English, which he enjoyed, I had smashed avocado and poached eggs on sourdough toast. Would highly recommend. Very friendly staff and lovely village.

    One, tiny, weeny thing - toasted sourdough bread is much to hard to cut!

    Location wonderful in an almost Dickensian setting. We've been going for many years and nothing much has changed which is great. Now a Gastropub so all food superbly cooked breakfasts & Dinners.

    Shower was a a bit ropey. But that is really scraping for an issue, it was fine!

    We are a three course meal in the restaurant which was outstanding. The lounge with the log fire was so cosy, the bed was super comfy. And the staff were outstanding.
