Super pub. Great hosts, nice rooms

Excellent accommodation and food . Friendly and attentive staff. The perfect combination of a pub and hotel. Would definitely stay her again on my next trip to the area.

Made a bad review earlier on this hotel, but it was in error. Would definitely go back to this hotel!

Perfectly run established.. made us feel very welcome, as well as being well maintained and clean

The room was good and well-equipped. There was no shower gel or shampoo, but luckily, I always take my own when working away, just in case. The only real negative was the noise from the pub downstairs until 11 pm, which meant any chance of an early night went out the window. If you don't want an early night after a long day's work before another early start, this place would be lovely.

Lovely hotel and hosts. Eating in and trying the South Africa dishes was a treat. Breakfast was as good!

We arrived in the evening after a family birthday party. We were given a warm welcome, ate a good dinner and slept in comfort.

We thoroughly enjoyed our last minute stay here with our doggies. I cannot fault a thing, the apartment we stayed in was very generously sized and had everything we needed. All of the staff were welcoming and helpful. We stayed for dinner one evening and there was a wonderful atmosphere and our food was delicious, highly recommend the Milk Tart as a sweet treat to finish off the meal. This is a wonderful gem in a gorgeous setting, and we will definitely return.

We arrived to a warm welcome and lovely room at The Talbot. This is an excellent hotel accommodation choice if you're cycle touring. The food was excellent and they went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Our bikes were secure too. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Kim and Richard were superb, fantastic recommendation for a lovely walk nearby, food was delicious, room had everything we needed. The atmosphere was wonderful, the regulars all super friendly, highly recommended, would jump at the chance to stay again!

Dans un ravissant village soigne et fleuri… une famille sud africaine nous accueille avec un enorme sourire et une chaleureuse hospitalite. Pub avec beaucoup de cachet et Petit dej délicieux

First impressions not good. Basically shown to our room and left to get on with it. Not told about emergency procedures or if there was anyone on the front desk or who to contact. Furnishings in the room were poor. The lampshade was broken as per the pics. One bed was loosely put together, kettle had seen better days and didnt switch off after boiling. The wooden chairs were broken and the wardrobe was old and worn. Paint was peeling off the window sill. A shelf was missing in the bathroom over the sink and the toilet brush was very dirty. And just to top it off the main light bulb was very dim and old and the room never got any sun so was very gloomy. A nice canvas of the lovely Dorset countryside would have looked a lot better than a fruit canvas. We would not stay here again. Price per night was high and didn't include breakfast. Very disappointed.

Awful place, freezing cold, not hot water and we.were.told they are closing in 3 weeks, they really didnt care! Beware !! Food is awful, rooms smelly and cold, landlady is miserable. Avoid at all costs

TV remote did not work on volume and no apparent way of changing volume on TV Cold water not working on sink nor toilet cistern. Bath OK

Wifi hopeless No phone signal No GpS coverage Terrible place

Great place in a beautiful village. Staff were helpful, great spacious apartment. Highly recommend!

Warm friendly greeting. Room looked pleasant enough but would not pass the "Alex Politzi" test. Dust on furniture, cobwebs in the grate, curtains hanging off poles (due to the type of rail). Towels on the bed not in the bathroom. Room was draughty and cold. We had to get a blanket from the car. Cold water ran hot when it eventually came through. Evening meal was basic but good quality and well cooked but several things on menu not available. Not informed there was no breakfast available, contrary to the website. Had to ask about breakfast and advised to go to the village shop. Village shop does not serve breakfast per se but was able to provide toast and tea/coffee. No customers in the restaurant or bar, we appeared to be the only ones in residence. This is a basic hotel catering for contractors and travelling salesmen, not what was represented on the website.

Bijzondere ervaring: op rijdagavond wordt er geen eten geserveerd, op zatermorgen is het ontbijt pas vanaf 9:00 uur. Dan zijn wij allang weer gevlogen. Weer een B&B zonder breakfast. De douche kregen we niet aan (vreemde constructie) en de deur kregen we niet op slot (ook een hele vreemde onbekende manier). Verder wel lekker rustig en pubachtig.

Well…. The manager/host was a total dithering wreck. We soon were told that there was no breakfast even though breakfast was included in the price. The rooms were so out dated and needed attention everywhere. Paint flaking off walls, mould on the window sills. We were then advised that there really was no evening meal as there had been a family party ( their family) and he wanted to leave at 7pm, and didn’t want to turn the friers on. The barmaid ordered us a Chinese locally which was nice for the price. The landlord was still there when we went to bed at 10pm. Very disappointed and would not recommend anyone else staying there.

Website misleading. Kitchen shut for 23 hrs in the day. Staff and landlords otherwise very helpful.
