The rooms were in a separate building away from potential noise. The rooms open on to a fenced-in garden, which is safe for dogs. The shower is powerful and hot.
Nothing.

Location as it was walking distance to friend’s house
Housekeeping consisted of bed being made, bathroom wasn’t cleaned, floors weren’t vacuumed or cleaned. Got back late evening & dirt walked in by someone’s outdoor shoes was on bedroom carpet.

Excellent menu and quality food. Superb service and great location for the morning ferry. Exceptional value for money.
No information about having a disabled room.

Bathroom was quite nice. Handy little fridge in room as breakfast delivered to room on previous evening. Quiet location.
Room too small. Mildew on window frames and cleaninliness of wall heaters poor (see pics). Stains on curtain lining.
Mattress lumpy and uncomfortable.
At £115 for B&B, we consider it overpriced based on our room. I read reviews by others before booking so was disappointed.

Very poor breakfast, cold room which needed airing, uncomfortable bed.

The staff in the bar were lovely, friendly and helpful.
The bed was very uncomfortable and very noisy. Floorboards upstairs were very noisy. Having breakfast delivered to room - the night before was a huge disappointment. Would have been nice to have eaten in restaurant with fresh food rather than prepacked. Would have expected in covid but not now.
1.5 / 5.0
Friendly staff and accommodation separate to the pub. Fantastic pressure and heat on the shower.
Mold in the bathroom and musty smell in the room. Big wet patch on the floor under the window. No Wi-Fi or phone signal. No breakfast. Also freezing when I arrived as heating had not been switched on so had to wait for it to warm up. No Netflix etc on tv. Very bright lights on all night outside the room. Bed was rock hard and could feel every button on the mattress. Massive noisy generator constantly running located in the car park. All the above meant I got no sleep all night.
4.5 / 5.0
Bar staff very querky
Room comfort was excellent
Dinner value and quality would make me go back just for food.
Nothing of note

The location was very handy to Blandford Forum which was the town I was there to visit. The accommodation was 'pub' accommodation and as such, I expected it to be fairly basic. It did exceed this expectation but it wasn't on the same level of a more expensive hotel. The room was upstairs which is a little tricky with a large suitcase, but the room had space and a fridge which was a bonus. The facilities were fairly basic and a little tired. Overall, the room was better than most pubs I have stayed at but on the functional end of the spectrum. The staff were just lovely and very helpful.
The bathroom was a little tired and possible not as clean as it could have been. That being said, this is pub accommodation.

4.0 / 5.0
Nice comfortable Inn, staff helpful and friendly. Food was good in the bar, although bread and butter pudding was bit cold inside. Good ample continental breakfast hamper supplied. Outside room with easy access. Nice touch when asked for decaff coffee, quickly supplied.
Wasn't keen on the disabled bathroom, great if you needed it but quite utilitarian and shower flooded the entire floor. Not a fan of coloured bedding, prefer white linen. Mattress was a bit creaky and hard.

Convenient pub and food
1. Confusing Reception area.
2. VERY old and uncomfortable noisy spring type mattress.
3. Wooden slats allowed us to hear every movement of the rooms above us!
4.0 / 5.0
Very friendly Welsh girl behind the bar was very helpful, cosy feel to the bar. Will definitely use it again . The room was in a separate annexe /building out the rear of the pub. Room was spacious and clean. We had a good nights sleep. Very quiet with no disturbances or traffic noise. Caters for dogs too, which would be plus in future visits for us.
Stopped cooking at 8pm we got there at 8.15pm. Which meant us going out to Find somewhere to eat. If the restaurant times are on the website I missed it. The meals of those who were eating looked very nice. We will make sure we get there a tad earlier next time. This would not stop us coming back and its not a criticism its their times. And just meant to be a heads up for other travellers wishing to eat and time may be a factor.
