    Staff in pub were excellent as was the food served. The accommodation was however disappointing as we asked for a dog friendly room and it was hardly big enough to swing a cat round let alone accommodate our dog. Hot water came out of the cold tap and the bathroom is in need of updating. Car parking was good. Very nice pub but we felt the accommodation was too small and not worth the money paid.

    It's a lovely old cottage, full of character, but had all the mod cons you could think of. It also had good outside space, and I thought it was excellent value for the money. It's the only pet friendly accommodation that Ive ever stayed in that had dog treats and bags in the welcome pack, this was most appreciated. I would definitely stay here again.

    Great location to walks, 11 mins to Beaminster which is gorgeous little town and the views are stunning! You can see the cows grazing in the fields at the back. It was quite cosy in the morning with fire watching the landscape around you. On the plus side, if you're pet owners, the property has large grounds and Innes kindly let us use it so our dog loved running around in it.
