"Really great find, perfect for visiting Durdle Door - only a 10 min drive away. Lovely en-suite room and bonus that there were 2 twin beds through a connecting door as was expecting a double sofa bed. Staff were always on hand to help and check in was efficient (accommodating a late check-in for us). Really nice touch having a fridge on the landing with fresh milk and a choice of nightcaps! Only wish we had more than 1 night here. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!"

"Compact rooms, located in yard behind the pub, a little noisy around closing time, all quiet after that, not a problem unless you are planning an early night. Shower clean, good flow and hot, biscuits with the tea and coffee, twin beds comfortable but we booked a double room, suggest ringing before arrival to confirm selection. Reasonably priced, would recommend if staying one or two nights."
