wonderful stay
welcome note complimentary drink
the room offered great facilities, including tea and coffee. i received a personalised welcome note alongside a complimentary drink for myself and my partner. i especially appreciated the staff who were friendly and helpful..
despite the convenience of the included car park, it did get quite busy. this sometimes made finding a space a little tricky..

breakfast offered a superb menu choice and the food was cooked to perfection. the staff also helpfully advised us to download the butcombe app to get 25% off meals on wednesday. the inn pre-booked our table since it was very busy.

the room was very clean with tea and coffee making facilities. the manager was really good and could not do enough to. the hotel appearance is very west country in style though. the thatched roof is lovely.
i think the expensive plates should mean better quality, though.

Fab time at a charming inn
tasty food amazing location fast service
I really loved the tasty food at the inn! The restaurant features local ingredients. the staff were very helpful and gave fast service. I thought the location was amazing to get to the coastal path and Durdle Door. It's a must!
Our room were small and I did not like that it was above the kitchen. There were engine noises under the bed, so I could not relax. We asked for an early check-in, however we did not get it.
