Hotel in a remote area so nothing within walking distance. Room was cold so I had to activate a portable, plug in heater. Dinner menu was fairly basic...no chicken, fish. Bathroom was small and shaving light not working. Relatively expensive compared to other hotels in the area.

Located in a quiet rural sleepy English village is this charming pub with rooms. The tired looking outside contradicts the nicely decorated room. It's small with a tiny bathroom but had the usual facilities and was clean. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. Food was really very good, simple but delicious.

This is a really lovely place to stay. I was given the 2 bedroom cottage next door to the pub, and it is very well catered for. Kitchen, living room, dining area, etc. Bathroom was very clean. Great place for morning walks and dinner at the pub next door. Very quiet and peaceful. Will definitely stay here again.

Very nice village type pub, very nice evening menu, & food pleasant staff, although it says breakfast at 8-30 , they will do an earlier breakfast if you ask, parking may be an issue, as it’s on road, outside the pub , there is a small car park to the rear via a very narrow entrance, otherwise all good,

I cant speak highly enough of our stay at the oak at dewlish. This is classic old village pub, the atmosphere is very local and welcoming. Really nice countryside around. The rooms felt like they were newly refurbished in a nice way and very comfortable. Really nice for the price point. The food is very good, classic pub grub and a good breakfast

The hotel and staff were excellent. The hotel is off the beaten track a little way from Dorchester - but well worth the effort and drive. The staff can’t do enough to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Excellent breakfast also.

After driving for 14 hrs that day all i wanted was a couple of beers and a hot meal before bed.Pulled up to find the place in Darkness and was told they dont open on a monday.Said i could stay as was 7 oclock but no drink/Meal etc.Had to drive 40 mins back to Dorchester to get a take away.Breakfast is between 8.30 and 9.30 which is far to late for the average working man..Left at 7.30 after paying £70 for the night.With hindsight i would slept in my van and saved my money.My worst hotel experience in 6 years of staying away weekly.This has also happened to another review that i have noticed so this really shouldnt have happen again unless it was deliberate...Not Impressed

A little pub in the middle of nowhere really so don’t expect to walk out for a meal anywhere or to see much than a few country lanes, but the pub does meals which are quite good. It did what we needed as a stop off on a longer trip. They have just 3 rooms above the pub so expect a bit of noise until about midnight from those playing pool and drinking directly below you. After midnight it was very quiet once the pub closed, nothing around you to make any noise although the laminate flooring outside the rooms in the hall was noisy when other guests got up early. Slightly dirty in places but overall ok (doors, corner of bathroom). Breakfast was great and the service very good and quick.

A nice pub in the country. Outside facade was tired but inside it had character was friendly and atmosphere. Apparently the chef was on holiday which explained the slow service at dinner but we only learnt this in the morning and were frustrated waiting without an explaination. The food was very nice when it came though. The room was clean & comfortable.

This is a very cute property- the quintessential English country pub with rooms attached. There are only 3 rooms, down a country lane, parking out front or behind property. Garden and backs on to fields. Restaurant meals available - some local fare. Great experience!

Village pub just outside Bere Regis.One of those little gems that has comfortable and clean rooms and a proper chef in the kitchen, I sampled a rump steak special and it was very nice, served with fresh vegetables. The staff were very welcoming. The pub also has a large beer garden out the back which was ideal on the night I stayed, as it was a beautiful summer evening.Highly recommended.
