The room had a musty smell, paper peeling off the walls in bedroom. Bathroom looks like it needed a good clean, mould in the shower, toilet was dirty, hairs on the sides under the sink and dead flies in light shade

Myself and my children absolutely loved it here. Really disappointed that we hasn't booked a 2nd night. The food was amazing, the staff incredibly helpful and one of the best bits for me was having a mini fridge and milk. Will 100% be back here again.

It was just generally a little run down. Could have done with a facelift. Food in the pub was reasonable value for money but the quality was quite average.

Lovely stay

Nice hotel / pub close to Blandford town! Everything was perfect in the room with a mini fridge with milk, water, kettle etc for us. It was very clean, tidy, safe and very friendly whilst staying there. Only downside is it is a bit out dated need to replace the mattress as it was very old.
