    Pros +

    • Our Host. Full English breakfast.
    • A very quaint Inn, in Sandford Orcas. The room was nicely decorated and quiet. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic, a lot of choice and cooked specially to order.
    • Everyone was very friendly and the food was excellent. Very central for exploring and we liked the friendly supportive attitude of the people who worked and frequented the place. The landlord deserved a medal for running off to help one of the villagers with a problem, that great village support and looking out for each other.

    Cons -

    • I can’t complain really, a few little bits but nothing that detracted from the enjoyable stay.
    • Small roads into village
    • Shepherds hut nice but no lock on door and no TV in there.In inn room had to turn tv on by a high power point,felt issolated

    This is a beautiful little inn in the Dorset countryside what a little gem! The service is second to none and the food is sublime! We had a fantastic time and felt fully welcomed by everyone in this wonderful little close knit community.

    There was nothing that we didn't like to he honest

    It was very quiet which was good. The breakfast was excellent.

    The room was described as being de-luxed but it was very basic. The bin hadn't been emptied in the room and a glass was still partly full of water which had obviously been used. No toiletries provided so no hand wash etc.. There was no information re: meal times evening meals or times of breakfast which would have been useful.

    It has everything, a great location, a warm welcome, great beers and food and fantastic rooms.

    The owner had not long taken over the property but was doing an amazing job. We were made very welcome and nothing was too much trouble

    Rustic, relaxed and welcoming

    Steve is a lovely, welcoming host and his breakfasts were great and so too we’re the Chefs evening meals. We wish him lots of luck in taking over this business.

    The Inn is very old and the accommodation needs a facelift. It’s also located off the beaten track and down narrow lanes.
