When we arrived the reception person was very nice. We had a bit of trouble finding the car park. We had food in the pub which was very good, It was a bit noisy out side, we were on a main road at a set of lights and it was also Bike night at the shore front

Our standard room was clean and well equipped. It did have a fan but no airconditioning. Tried to leave the window open but the noise from an extractor fan unit outside below our window was noisy.
4.0
Definitely one to avoid. Car park is tiny, only space for 4 or 5 cars, maximum. Very awkward to get in and out.
Dining ends at 9pm. Interior is very poor condition: everything is chipped, marked or peeling. Could hear traffic all night.
At breakfast, there was very little food available, and when I ordered, staff member forgot to bring.
Very disappointed.
4.0
Very friendly staff, and local knowledge great. Parking in the Ox car park is limited. So I'd recommend parking on arrival and using buses/taxis if you can. The bus stop to the centre is just across the A35 and the M1 bus drops you from town right ouside. There is a small car park on the A35 nearby. Parkstone railway is also very close.
Apparently some more decorating is ongoing. Hopefully that'll include a new stair carpet. The bar is trendy cosy and rustic. Nut I feelbthe ale is overpriced. Maybe have a dsily happy hour to bring in the punters.
The choicevis good. The rooms are large and plenty of storage.
Overall a great and convenient place to stay.

Room was nice and clean apart from it was a boiling day and we couldnt cool the room down. The roads never stoo mind so be aware of noisy traffic which is to be expected. Lively staff. Very polite. Nice bar and restaurant serving drinks and good food. All in all though i enjoyed my one night stay which was close to the port 15mins away

Lovely location and a great hotel. We parked nearby on the road although there is a small car park around the back. Bigger mugs for the rooms would be nice though. We didn’t eat as the kitchen was closed on Sunday but would love to come back to try the food.

Booked a three night stay. It’s advertised as having boutique bedrooms. Watermarks and cracks on the ceiling , ring marks on bedside table, dirty marks on net curtains. Went and told staff we would not be staying they offered another room almost as if they weren’t surprised!! We declined the offer. Was told by staff member to get In touch with Expedia and she would arrange a refund! Put in a complaint and still no response

Lovely hotel and staff, the room was nice too. We stayed as an an anniversary party in the venue attached.
Breakfast was lovely.
Only criticism would be that the rooms were quite warm.
4.0
Room was comfortable, bathroom was well appointed, always nice to see an extra effort made there.
Improvements could be made with regards to the bed, carpets, furniture etc as beginning to look a bit worn.
Breakfast was very good.
4.0
Very steep flight of stairs, room small, no chairs, noisy road traffic.

Check in was great, host waiting to check me in. Room was clean and presented lovely. The only reason for the bad review is the bed, it was horrendous, it was so soft, it felt broken and I felt like I was being bent in half, ended up sleeping on the floor just to get a couple hours of sleep.
4.0
For the price we paid it was good accomodation. The room would be better if it was painted a lighter colour as it seems to dark. Loved the restsurant downstairs.

Super location for the lovely area of Ashley cross. Our room was small but super bathroom (note no door so that may put some people off). We had two singles put together one mattress was perfect and quite firm the other my husband described as a bean bag. It was a warm day when we stayed and there is no air con and unfortunately the fan provided didnt alleviate the temperature. Fabulous staff - clean room and we would stay again albeit wouldn't chose room number 2.

Very friendly staff, room was lovely. Only downside was a small carpark.
4.0
not good at all, booked for 2 nights but left after 1. The main issues were noise and parking, there is virtually no parking and the local car parks are 4 hours maximum so I had to park a considerable distance away. The room was nice but there is no double glazing and it is on a very busy road with lots of bikers and this goes on throughout the night. Nobody available in the morning and no breakfast option that I could see so all in all a bit of a disaster, needless to say I won't be returning

Very nice and well appointed little hotel. Didn’t have breakfast as the timing didn’t work for me but it’s 7:30-9:30 weekdays and 8:00-10:00 at weekends. Comfy beds, good shower. Friendly reception.
4.0
nice shower room. lovely hospitality tray with hot chocolate and biscuits and water. Staff really nice and friendly. nice to be able to come and go at the side of the bar area. It was very convenient to where my friend lives and works. Hoping to be back later this year. many thanks.

The hotel has a lovely vibe about it. We booked a table and the foid was amazing, generous portion sizes and full of flavour. The room was clean and warm, slightly small but plenty big enough for us. The car park is very small so could be a problem at times. Staff very helpful and we would definitely stay again.

The room over all was very tired looking and in desperately needing some tlc, however the bathroom was in good condition. The window in our room was terrible and wouldn’t close properlamd

So we booked this at last minute due to a hiccup
Elsewhere
The hotel is an old pub/ hotel
The owner is a great guy who is very pleasant and is turning it into his place
The rooms are being worked on the bathrooms in all the rooms we had4no were great all the guys loved them
I was the only one to eat here as it was only a one night stay
Wow I had the meat box wings ribs and doing rooms -delicious and saves too
We were only passing through but please give it a go if passing again I would boom this place especially for the food
4.0
The Ox has great curb appeal but not very welcoming on entering, it felt abandoned and we had to look for someone to check us in. The room was spacious and clean but definitely needs some work, a lot of cracks in the plaster and missing grouting in bathroom. The room was cold when we entered but didn’t take long to warm up when the radiator was turned on, lots of condensation around the windows and curtains damp by morning.
A comfy night and only minor tweaks to make it great 😊 The free parking on site was a definite bonus!

Reasonable cost, friendly staff. Comfortable stay with extras including tea and coffee making facilities and toiletries in the bathroom.

Part of the reason for staying was for the breakfast which we were only told on arrival that it was no longer available, no offer of a refund or any compensation
4.0
It was unique in the fact that there were bed bugs in my room. The manager wasn’t there in the morning and I was given a fake email address to contact her to discuss the matter further.

The property was quaint and cute. The staff was very nice and accommodating. I can see when the property was new, it was very nice. Just seems it’s a little tired and worn. Needs a refresh.
