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.

Accommodation and breakfast was ok if basic. Staff were friendly.

The Oak is a complete "find". Lovely place, great room, breakfast brilliant - I will stay here again (if I can!)

this country pub has excellent food we had diner and breakfast there was alot in there and only the chief and one girl behind bar that i see i did see another lady bring out some food the same chief cooked breakfast served and cleared tables all with no problem.He should told how good he was.the walls in the room are a little thin but it was only one night so no problem i would stay there again.

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

Good place to stay, with friendly, helpful staff. Food was excellent too!

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.

The property could do with a bit more renovation, but the atmosphere of the pub was real country and welcoming

Great stay. Whole place very friendly. Even the cows that walked down the lane to the dairy were very friendly

Very friendly staff, good food, comfortable rooms. Good atmosphere in the bar with a wide range of age groups. Dark skies area, opportunity to see the stars on a cloudless night.

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.

Very Friendly welcome, lovely evening meal attentive service.

Lovely pub and room small but nice and practical. Wish we’d had diner there, food seemed nice. Great breakfast. Simple place but not disapointing.

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!

Comfortable, quiet, good food and good beer, with friendly service. A lovely old pub set in a pretty, very English and unspoilt village.

Lovely old fashioned country pub with friendly staff, good food, good service and comfortable room.

Very welcoming staff. Lovely food. Comfortable room.

Great staff with great customer service. Very helpful, nothing too much.

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.

We arrived at the hotel a bit late at night. We were welcomed and shown our room. Some local lads were having a pint. We joined them for While. Everything was fantastic!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Oak. Room very clean and comfortable with plenty of space. The food was excellent and very hot, which is something other places have lacked, along with the drink. All staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning.

Couldnt praise it highly enough. Polite, friendly & helpful staff. Lovely country pub with large garden. The room & en suite was modern & clean. Good food.Would definitely stay there again.

Familary company, small hotel, full bar with rich choise of drinks and excelent food menu. And food was very tasty.
