The Museum Inn

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 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!

Lovely village pub, comfortable rooms, easy parking with electric charging, good food and drink choice. Friendly and very helpful staff. Will stay again.

A really great pub/hotel. Lovely bar. Great food. Would highly recommend

Fantastic stay. Lovely room. Great bar and outside area. Diner and breakfast was top quality. Staff were so friendly and efficient. Thank you This is a really dog friendly pub! We will certainly return.

We spent a few days here to celebrate our anniversary and explore Dorset and surrounding area, we visited some National Trusts. The Museum Inn was in an ideal position. The staff were all very friendly, food was excellent, the room we have was “The Catch” very large, clean and comfortable. We have an electric car that we were able to charge on the property which was very useful. My only concern was the choice of carpet colour in the restaurant and breakfast room, being very pale it was showing a lot of marks where things had been spilt, apart from the it was a very enjoyable stay.

Rural upmarket pub. Old house with modern amenities and good restaurant with good breakfast. Electric car chargers but hotel location somewhat hidden in little village.

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)

Lovely characterful hotel in pretty countryside setting tucked away in small village. Comfortable beds. Great varied dinner menu with specials board. Room size was perfect for us. Breakfast was really good with varied menu. Efficient and friendly staff.

Lovely quiet pub out in the country. Excellent facilities, good choice of drink, spirits etc. We stayed and the room was lovely; clean, thoughtful touches such as choice of tea and fresh coffee with a French press. Pillow spray and ear plugs !! Will definitely go again.

Wonderful setting, rooms very tidy and welcoming. Evening meal and breakfast, very good quality. Excellent value for money

Vennlig personale, nydelig sted, rent og pent. Spiste en god middag på kvelden og en fortreffelig frokost neste morgen. Kan varmt anbefale dette stedet!

A good stay for a night. Room and bathroom were clean, nice eco touches with the products in the room - toiletries and the drinks. Ground coffee was good, better than the sachets of instant. The bathroom was clean, but looking a bit tired. Extractor fan didn't seem to do a lot as after showering it was very damp and humid for hours afterwards. This, and the starchy towels and bedding did make for a bit of a funky smelling room which was quite hard to air due to only one small window. Food in the pub for dinner and breakfast were very nice and things that were more than average pub grub - tasty options for veggies/dairy free. Service from all staff we encountered throughout our stay was okay. Overall, it did us good for a night and a base to see friends who lived nearby.

Great stay at the Museum Inn -excellent value , the room was clean, recently decorated, small but all we needed. The staff very friendly and helpful and a decent breakfast with great choice in a really nice breakfast room. A great place for a short stay…

Really nice place. Room was lovely with a great bathroom and good shower. We had a super meal in the evening with wine all very reasonably priced! Would recommend and can't wait to go back

Helpful staff, rooms immaculate Lovely pub, lovely setting

Very comfortable night, room very nice, bathroom a touch tired but all very clean and well equipped. Great to have a flask of fresh milk for tea. Breakfast was the highlight, this was excellent

Very basic bathroom- needs a facelift- leaking water from shower. Room suffices but poor overall for the money. Food very over priced for what it was. Very mediocre and sent mains back.

Excellent evening meal options, very clean and great breakfast. My only point to raise was that breakfast didn’t start until 8am, meaning those of us starting work for 9am couldnt enjoy it.

Really enjoyed our stay. The staff are friendly. The place has a lot of character and the room was spaces and clean. Unfortunately we did no eat a evening meal but if the breakfast is anything to go by it should be good. Would recommend to anyone.

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.

Overall, a great stay, would definitely recommend for a beautiful country break!

Very comfortable bed and friendly staff However it would be helpful to have a small fridge to keep fresh milk and water in especially in hot weather and a shaving light in bathroom

Lovely pub stay, good food, great friendly service and nice rooms. Only thing bed was a bit soft for me but I slept well.

WiFi is non existent in the stables. Not great for Business travellers. Food in the restaurant was fairly bland, chicken shawarma was flavourless. Rooms were a little tired. If I’d have come with my wife for a nice trip it would have been fine but for business it was below par.

All ok but not special. No fridge or safe in room. Products in bathroom unnamed which does give a feel of anything special. No hand cream.

A beautifully renovated traditional English pub with gorgeous rooms and high class touches like high quality tea, coffee and biscuits in the bedroom. Super King bed - super comfy bedding - warmly decorated. Great chef - dinner was delicious and breakfast very high quality/ would highly recommend

Great people and friendly service, lovely room, great breakfasts and we ate one night in the pub as well and the burgers are very good. Great gf bread. Really good vegan and veggie options too but worth knowing if you are that the inn is shooting and hunting themed- our room was called “The chase” and had a picture of a fox/drag hunt - hunter on horse and dogs -facing the bed. The breakfast room is v nice with pictures of shotguns and pheasants. Lovely residents room as well. Lovely quiet place in a little beautiful village. No phone signal or WiFi, only able to connect on the last night of 5 - the sign up page never appeared until then so we had no connectivity at all while we were there. For a couple of reasons this was a real problem for us, if it’s not a problem for you then this is a lovely place. The room had some low humming from I think the extractor fan outside it but I only had to pop earplugs in one night and I am q sensitive to noise. They also offer a breakfast to go option if you have to leave earlier than breakfast time. We arranged for one but it didn’t appear and I didn’t hear back why, I assume just human error which happens and is fine but thinking you are going on the road with bacon sarnies and them then not being there is worse than just not having them! No fridge in the room but they do provide fresh milk on request, incl oat milk :) Great toiletries in rooms and a hairdryer. Comfy bed!

Very helpful staff, and really pleasant. We had an early start, so a take away breakfast was provided. Most appreciated.

Room was good. Staff we were and really friendly. Nice breakfast.

Lovely one night stay at The Museum Inn. Smooth check-in, nice room in the Stables. Dog friendly, good breakfast. Had nice evening meal as well. The Museum has just been taken over by Butcombe and one minor issue with their new systems charging twice for dogs but dealt with immediately and professionally. We will return :-)

We had a slight issue with the room which was dealt with immediately. We were promptly placed in a new room while they resolved the problem. Staff were friendly and helpful, and Gluten Free options for breakfast were available.

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!

Very pleasant. Nice food and good choice in the pub. Very pleasant and accommodating staff.

As per Google review, stay was great, last night service was great. Breakfast service was very poor and the food was a huge disappointment for me and my four guests that travelled over.

Great service, lovely food, comfy room. Quaint location.

From check in to check out and breakfast, was greated with a smile and friendly attitude. Staff where great, beds comfy and breakfast shakshuka and amoothie where delicious!! Amanda and Natalie made breakfast emjoyable and a smile in the morning. 10/10 would recomend this pieceful pub stay in the countryside.

Vey expensive, dinner was disappointing, service poor (since dining room competing with bar regulars), all meals extra charge. Bedside light not working on one side. set in a pleasant village but no local options for meals.

Really great rooms at the hotel. Definitely will be back, make sure to drive though, its quite difficult to get taxis last minute.

Absolutely in a beautiful setting. Nice part on UK

Lovely place to stay in a quiet, picturesque village. Staff make you feel very welcome and the property is gorgeous. Really would have loved to stay longer, a perfect place to stay while visiting Dorset.

Beautiful pub/inn with wonderful staff. Great location for visiting the area. Very relaxing stay.

the Inn is a lovely quiet pub/hotel with good food in an excellent and pretty location surrounded by beautiful thatched cottages
