Vey expensive, dinner was disappointing, service poor (since dining room competing with bar regulars), all meals extra charge. Bedside light not working on one side. set in a pleasant village but no local options for meals.

WiFi is non existent in the stables. Not great for Business travellers. Food in the restaurant was fairly bland, chicken shawarma was flavourless. Rooms were a little tired. If I’d have come with my wife for a nice trip it would have been fine but for business it was below par.

Really nice place. Room was lovely with a great bathroom and good shower. We had a super meal in the evening with wine all very reasonably priced! Would recommend and can't wait to go back

We spent a few days here to celebrate our anniversary and explore Dorset and surrounding area, we visited some National Trusts. The Museum Inn was in an ideal position. The staff were all very friendly, food was excellent, the room we have was “The Catch” very large, clean and comfortable. We have an electric car that we were able to charge on the property which was very useful. My only concern was the choice of carpet colour in the restaurant and breakfast room, being very pale it was showing a lot of marks where things had been spilt, apart from the it was a very enjoyable stay.

Nice place and nice staff. Nice coffee but no milk in room . Breakfast a little late for me as quoted 8.30 and needed to have left by 8am.

Highly recommend. We were late arriving, due to the Cannel Island ferry breaking down in Guernsey harbour, but we were still able to have an evening meal, which was very nice in itself, and very welcome. The staff were very pleasant, and the room very comfortable. Tim served the breakfast, and is the perfect host. It is a most picturesque location, and we will most definitely stay here again.

Fantastic stay. Lovely room. Great bar and outside area. Diner and breakfast was top quality. Staff were so friendly and efficient. Thank you This is a really dog friendly pub! We will certainly return.

Great people and friendly service, lovely room, great breakfasts and we ate one night in the pub as well and the burgers are very good. Great gf bread. Really good vegan and veggie options too but worth knowing if you are that the inn is shooting and hunting themed- our room was called “The chase” and had a picture of a fox/drag hunt - hunter on horse and dogs -facing the bed. The breakfast room is v nice with pictures of shotguns and pheasants. Lovely residents room as well. Lovely quiet place in a little beautiful village. No phone signal or WiFi, only able to connect on the last night of 5 - the sign up page never appeared until then so we had no connectivity at all while we were there. For a couple of reasons this was a real problem for us, if it’s not a problem for you then this is a lovely place. The room had some low humming from I think the extractor fan outside it but I only had to pop earplugs in one night and I am q sensitive to noise. They also offer a breakfast to go option if you have to leave earlier than breakfast time. We arranged for one but it didn’t appear and I didn’t hear back why, I assume just human error which happens and is fine but thinking you are going on the road with bacon sarnies and them then not being there is worse than just not having them! No fridge in the room but they do provide fresh milk on request, incl oat milk :) Great toiletries in rooms and a hairdryer. Comfy bed!

Lovely warm welcome from staff member even though we were late arriving. Lovely late drink in the bar. Lovely (and huge !) room and bathroom. Lovely breakfast. Lovely service. Altogether a really a lovely short stay. (Only minor negative - the wifi was poor to non-existent esp in the bedroom - not a major issue for us, but could have been for some especially as there was negligible mobile reception)

We stayed here on our way from Newquay to the airport stopping at Durdle Door. The service and breakfast was great! We had a lovely stay.

Had a wonderful stay (4 nights in the Stables). The Inn is set in beautiful countryside, and I loved the quaintness of the building, lots of different areas to sit in to eat or have a drink, and a nice covered seating area outside. The room was very comfortable, and the water pressure for the bath was great. Food was superb, the best I've had in a pub (a step above what I'd call 'pub food'). Paolo, Tim, Amanda, and the rest of the team were warm, welcoming and super helpful (including when I had a puncture on my first day!). Would definitely stay again if I get the chance.

Lovely place to stay in a quiet, picturesque village. Staff make you feel very welcome and the property is gorgeous. Really would have loved to stay longer, a perfect place to stay while visiting Dorset.

Lovely stay! EV chargers were very handy for us. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Excellent food. Lovely location. Quiet in the evenings and a nice area to walk around in the mornings. Room was great if a little dimly lit! Bathroom was lovely and big with a great shower. Good amenities. 20 mins to Blandford Forum and 30 mins to Salisbury by car so very easy to get about. Overall, a great stay, would definitely recommend for a beautiful country break!
