Lovely room, if a little small. I wouldn't call it "superior" but it was adequate. Much appreciated were the water cooler in the lobby outside the roooms, and fresh milk in the fridge. Good menu choice for breakfast. Obliging staff. Definitely recommended.

This was close to perfect. Everything I like in a B&B / Hotel. Lovely, friendly, helpful staff. Great oldie worlde pub part, but super modern rooms with everything you need. Lovely and warm, hot towels, clever little communal tea, coffee area just outside the rooms with real milk in a little fridge. Really clever layout. Cracking little bathroom, perfectly clean… loved it. Booked a meal and it was beautiful, home made lasagne & cottage pie with fresh veg, salad, garlic bread… breakfast was great, too… lots of choice and a nice large or small cook breaky… Highly recommended.

Booked for a 1-night stay for work. Great welcome and shown to room (in room 3). Lovely room, good TV and wifi. Bed was very comfortable, ensuite was great and heated. Own thermostat in room. Small desk to work at (if required). Nice touch of being able to get fresh milk for tea and coffee in lobby just before going into room, as well as bottled water. There is 1 car park space for each of the 4 rooms, car park is free. The breakfast (included in my price) was brilliant and hot (I went for the cooked breakfast). I also ate here on the evening I arrived (had the chilli & rice) and the food arrived to my table quickly, and it was tasty. Possibly the best place I have stayed this year (2025)!

I believe this is the finest B & B I’ve ever stayed in . For context that is a long list , I usually stay away at least once a week, most weeks. The room was perfect in all aspects , very high standard of decor , extremely comfortable bed , bathroom modern and well appointed . Reception lounge was well appointed with fresh milk in communal fridge, water cooler . Breakfast was of high standard , freshly made , quality produce used. A lot of quality touches throughout the room . 10/10

The room was very clean and well thought out, with kids of nice little touches. The mattress and bedding was amazing and I had a better sleep than I do at home. I look forward to visiting again in the future

What a lovely place! Would highly recommend a stay here. The room was great, it is very clean & the one we stayed in was spacious. The area is quiet & you can’t hear any noise from the pub below. Breakfast was included, there was a good selection and it tasted delicious. The staff are very attentive and friendly. If we visit the area again, we would book another stay here in a heartbeat.

Lovely new/refurbished room, great friendly staff, excellent breakfast, great pub grub for evening meals. A couple of minor moans - drinks were quite pricey and the the pub is located several miles from Poole/Bournemouth so not ideal just for a night out. However, it is in a good central position for possibly exploring further afield to Swanage, Corfe Castle and beyond.

Fabulous comfy bed and spotlessly clean! Arrived after 11pm from ferry and refreshments available in entrance hall, cold water and fresh milk available. Excellent breakfast. Would stay again.

Very pleasant one night stay enroute from Brighton to Torquay. Warm welcome from the innkeepers, delicious dinner and breakfast in the pub downstairs, and a very comfortable and quite night's sleep in a newly renovated room.

A Real Gem. Friendly Welcome, Spotlessly clean well appointed room. Great Cooked Breakfast and really good pub grub (we can really recommend the Lasagna). What more do you need for a couple of nights away.

This was close to perfect. Everything I like in a B&B / Hotel. Lovely, friendly, helpful staff. Great oldie worlde pub part, but super modern rooms with everything you need. Lovely and warm, hot towels, clever little communal tea, coffee area just outside the rooms with real milk in a little fridge. Really clever layout. Cracking little bathroom, perfectly clean… loved it. Booked a meal and it was beautiful, home made lasagne & cottage pie with fresh veg, salad, garlic bread… breakfast was great, too… lots of choice and a nice large or small cook breaky… Highly recommended.

The room was lovely, and in great condition, clean and comfortable. Tea/coffee making facilities were available plus bottled water. There were good choices for breakfast, which was delicious.

Booked for a 1-night stay for work. Great welcome and shown to room (in room 3). Lovely room, good TV and wifi. Bed was very comfortable, ensuite was great and heated. Own thermostat in room. Small desk to work at (if required). Nice touch of being able to get fresh milk for tea and coffee in lobby just before going into room, as well as bottled water. There is 1 car park space for each of the 4 rooms, car park is free. The breakfast (included in my price) was brilliant and hot (I went for the cooked breakfast). I also ate here on the evening I arrived (had the chilli & rice) and the food arrived to my table quickly, and it was tasty. Possibly the best place I have stayed this year (2025)!

What a beautiful property. Its a credit to its owners who have not missed anything that makes an overnight stay comfortable. Super clean, upmarket, comfortable and with all the little things that you expect - tea, coffee, biscuits - just those nice little touches. Then, there is the pub, which is simply superb. A classic English pub. What's not to like? And the breakfast was sensational. Highly reccomended.

Lovely new/refurbished room, great friendly staff, excellent breakfast, great pub grub for evening meals. A couple of minor moans - drinks were quite pricey and the the pub is located several miles from Poole/Bournemouth so not ideal just for a night out. However, it is in a good central position for possibly exploring further afield to Swanage, Corfe Castle and beyond.
