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.

Stayed here whilst working in area. Room was very good with quality hot drinks including sachets of hot chocolate. Choice of 3 Butcombe real ales with very friendly staff. Evening food menu was a little pricey and the portion sizes were average but it was freshly cooked. Did not have chance to sample breakfast as had to leave early next day.

Best food and stay!
Our stay was absolutely amazing! Service was great, everyone was super friendly! We were in a rush to leave in the morning because we had other things booked, so we weren’t able to partake in breakfast and one of the ladies offered to pack us up some delicious croissants and some apples for our travels! We also had dinner there the night we checked in and it was the best food we had all holiday! If we are ever fortunate to come back we will make sure we stay here again!
