    Nothing at all really, though Poundbury was a bit dull, but ideal for a stopover enroute to the West country

    Welcoming staff and a complimentary drink was gratefully accepted. Lovely big bedroom adorned with framed pictures. Very comfy bed and good shower. Gentle blue light automatically came on when got up to go the bathroom at night. Breakfast had all the trimmings and was excellent, with very helpful and cheerful lady host. Free Parking was standard. Vibrant large bar area on ground floor and a quieter dining area on first floor.

    If I were to try and find one issue it would be the poor signal and wifi !!!

    Deluxe Room - Very Clean, warm and bed comfortable Breakfast - Good selection Bar Food - Sides were on the small size, sharing portions were reasonable and food was fresh and tasty Atmosphere - Warm, relaxing, not quiet but not manix or loud. Dog friendly and just a nice relaxing enviroment with friendly staff and members of the public. We stayed the weekend here from 24.11.23 - 26.11.23 All the staff were friendly and helpful but there were two members of staff that really impressed us.... Georgia & Josh went above and beyond...providing a service that was much appreciated. They were helpful, empathetic and nothing was too much trouble. Both went out of thier way to ensure my Partners trapped nerve and diabetic needs were catered for, providing an ice pack, tailored food request, local information and nothing was too much trouble. I honestly can't thank them enough. Mr M Knight

    The bedroom lighting could be improved for reading purposes. The staff made several errors, including removing all our towels and forgetting to replace them and forgetting the starter I ordered. They seemed to be focusing on a large party so that paying guests were getting sidelined.

    Our room was very spacious and the food was excellent.
