Ce qu'en disent des voyageurs

D'après les avis, The Countryman Inn est apprécié pour son personnel accueillant et chaleureux, sa cuisine de pub et ses petits déjeuners savoureux, ainsi que ses chambres confortables et souvent spacieuses, situées dans un cadre rural traditionnel idéal pour visiter Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Monkey World et le Tank Museum.

Les clients apprécient l'ambiance animée du pub, le parking sur place et le jardin, bien que certains signalent une connexion Wi-Fi faible dans les chambres. Les critiques mentionnent parfois un service de repas lent ou irrégulier, des murs fins ou une chambre simple pour certains, ainsi que le sentiment d'isolement lié à l'emplacement rural sans voiture. Idéal pour les voyageurs qui recherchent une base de repos plutôt qu'un hôtel de luxe.

This was a perfect stopover after visiting Monkey World (just 4 miles away) . As well as the use of one room we were allowed to park our campervan overnight. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was both tasty and excellent value

A lovely old inn, upgraded and updated to offer all of the contemporary comforts one might want, including free WiFi /Internet. The room was medium size, with a queen /double bed and wonderfully illuminated bb its skylight. The bed and bed linens were outstanding; couldn’t be better. The pub & restaurant were as charmingly English as a Yank could want and the food was very good. I would return in a heartbeat, given the opportunity, and recommend it to any single or couple. It might be great for larger families, too; I simply don ’t know.

Authentic British bed and breakfast/pub! Peaceful countryside, wonderful food, nice staff and facilities. The only thing we could say would be that you need to book all taxis in advance, but otherwise nothing but good to say about the Countryman Inn. We will be going back.

The room was nice and spacious. The beds were comfy, everything was clean, could perhaps do with some rails on the wall to hold onto getting in and out of bath. The food was fantastic as was the breakfast. There isn’t much nearby and quite isolated especially if you don’t have a car. It was quite expensive to stay.

It’s rare to visit an establishment where there are so many excellent staff. We visited the Countryman on Boxing Day and booked a Christmas meal and a double room. The food was wonderful, the service was excellent. The room was very comfortable. I cannot praise everyone enough. If you visit Dorchester, this IS the place to stay. Thank you for making our Boxing Day so lovely

Cannot praise the staff enough or the manager who is very jolly. Food was excellent and despite a staff shortage it was excellent service in the restaurant and in the outside eating area.

Everything was fine but walls were quite thin. The risk is then getting noisy neighbours which unfortunately we did and ended up not getting to sleep until late

This was our second visit (one year later). The friendliness of the staff is still good but the food quality and service has deteriorated. Quite a long wait for food. Understandable as they were busy and happy to wait for freshly cooked food. However all three different main courses were dry and overcooked. The pasta with the salmon was just a few rings which hadn't been mixed properly with the sauce. At breakfast (which was not busy) there was very little fruit juice in the containers. The milk dispenser was empty an the coffee jug was not refilled. The few croissants were stale. There were only three other people present at breakfast so they were not overstretched.
