ザ アンヴィル イン

My stay has been very positive. Check‑in was friendly, welcoming, and informative, which set a great tone from the start. My room is cosy, clean, and comfortable, and I’ve had a peaceful night’s sleep. The Wi‑Fi works well, and the free parking is really convenient. The location is good too, making everything easy and stress‑free. Overall, I’m very happy with my experience.

Our room was comfortable, clean and cosy. The Staff couldn’t do enough to make our stay a pleasant experience. Food was great and varied. We would definitely stay here again.

Great pub, excellent food

Great

Lovely old pub which was a good stop over for the night. Breakfast nice and hot with limited selection but filling. Friendly welcome at check in.

Nice and clean, comfortable with friendly staff

Great people and a perfect room. Good location for visiting many places in Dorset. The inn is an old thatched building with a decent beer garden and covered outdoor eating. The food is very good pub fayre and there are interesting specials. On Friday and Saturday delicious pizzas are also served, cooked in the outdoor wood fired pizza oven Breakfast is included with the room and there are a good variety of choices with quality ingredients. A great find that we will revisit if ever on holiday in the area again.

The room was slightly on the small side , the bed being a standard double it would have been difficult to have put a bigger bed in. The bathroom again was a bit cramped, the loo holder was broken and the doors were out of line and provided no privacy. There appeared to be no soundproofing as it was quite evident that the adjacent rooms occupants could be clearly heard. The Monday morning breakfast was cooked badly, however the staff were very pleasant and helpful

Me and my partner stayed here over the weekend. We absolutely loved the stay, so clean and comfortable. Shower was a bonus! So powerful. Unfortunately my partner was taken into hospital during our last night staying there. But the very kind bartender/floor manager? Accommodated to our needs. So kind and thoughtful. He brought our breakfast up to our rooms. I would highly recommend staying here ☺️ Breakfast was lovely too!

Great value out of season.

Excellent out of season value

What a little gem The Anvil Inn turned out to be! It's a beautiful old thatched building, and as you would expect with an old building, the stairs could prove a little steep for some peoole but we didn't have any trouble bounding up them; there is one spot where the door to the guest floor is a little low, but it's been thoughtfully padded, so no banged noggins here. We stayed in Room No.5 which was really cosy and had a little en-suite with a decent shower and very fluffy towels. Tea and Coffee making facilities were provided, a decent hairdryer and a TV, so everything that we needed. The room was absolutely spotless! We stayed two nights as visiting family and friends in Dorset and we had them visit both nights for dinner in the pub. The food we had was really good, very tasty and cooked to perfection... And very reasonably priced. Now that we have found (and stayed at) The Anvil Inn, it'll be our place of choice whenever we're visiting.

Very nice old coaching in less than 2 miles away from GDSF.

Very clean 17th Century Hotel. Staff very welcoming

Small but lovely room with everything needed for a one night stay. It felt as though it had been recently refurbished and the cleaning was to a high standard. Check in was good and I was shown to my room although I did have to wait a short while as there is no front desk. The menu was impressive and my evening meal was very good. On the downside, it was quite noisy with the quiz night in the pub during the evening but this did end at 10pm to my relief. The breakfast was average and service was poor. The rain shower was non existent and the attachment was very slow and squealed whilst in use which made me conscious of disturbing other guests due to the lack of soundproofing as the building is very old.

Lovely place to stop for the night.

loverly quiet pub to stay at food was was good as well

Honestly can not fault this place. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. Staff were lovely and very friendly. Food was great. Room was clean and cosy. Nice quiet pub. Great value for money and definitely got our money's worth. Thanks for a great couple of days!

Hotel was fine given Covid restrictions. Room was basic but clean. The bathroom was clean and well supplied but the extractor fan seemed not to work. I would recommend the hotel but the food in the restaurant was relatively expensive and not up to much

Clean, relaxed, great hosts
