On the 25th of May 2012 my sister, brother-in-law and myself went on pub crawl round Corfe Castle. Quite a short pub crawl, only three venues. Our task was to find a suitable venue for Monday June the 4th for a table of 10 and a high chair. One venue was beautiful, but style over substance. One was disintersted. The... More

Lovely day and the pub and beer garden are very nice looking, but all 10 of us in the group were massively disappointed by the quality of the food. All tasted like it had been microwaved straight from the packet. Plus there were sachets galore for ketchup, vinegar etc, always a bad sign that they can't be bothered to get... More

We had a lovely 5 night break here in May to do some walking and chill a bit. They were very happy for us to bring our dog with us and this was a good bonus for us. The hotel has a great location overlooking the square and is central to facilities in the village and convenient for attractions in... More

Stayed here for one night due to an offer that was good value. We had the best room. Was en suite. Lovely bed and modern duvet made the room look neat, but the bathroom, the TV and the furniture all were quite old and needed replacing. There was a sign saying to be patient whilst they modernised the rooms, but... More

We visited here last weekend with our dog.. Despite it stating it is dog friendly I was a bit dubious that dogs would actually be allowed in the bar and food areas. We were pleasantly surprised that it is in deed dog friendly, dogs being allowed everywhere, even the diners were dog friendly. We has a superb meal, Pork fillet... More

An evening meal that would do credit to a posh London Hotel, a warm friendly bar, a very comfortable bed in a clean and tidy room, and a very full English breakfast. What more could anybody ask for? But I'm sure if we had the friendly staff would have been happy to oblige.The very best of British hospitality. More
