Nothing really not to like.

"Traditional friendly village pub"

7.0

Welcome from host and other staff Comfortable room with tea/coffee making facilities and fresh milk in a mini fridge Location

There was a clear determination that food should be served piping hot - perfect for some no doubt, but would have preferred meat items (sausages, bacon, liver) to be less well cooked and hence less dry

"Excellent"

8.0

Location. It is super cute and the pub is nice. The bed was comfy and surprisingly enough space

The tea and the coffee maker could've done with a good scrub

"Enjoyable, although we didn’t spend loads of time there as we were there for family wedding. The staff were very helpful"

8.0

Full of character, the staff were super friendly and the location was impressive.

Was dated. Needs a facelift.

"You can't help feeling that they try to cut corners on costs at the expense of quality"

6.0

Rustic old pub, lovely log fires, a decent evening meal and happy to see that the kitchen did not close until 8.30pm (just after our arrival) even though we were the only ones in the bar at that time.

When we arrived, the guest room was cold, although the excuse given was that the thermostat was in the bar which was quite warm. Antiquated shower plumbing over the bath which even though I accidently pressed it to get water out of the taps, I couldn't get it back into shower mode until the morning, meaning my son had to crouch under the bath taps to have his evening shower. Breakfast was just so-so with strange choice of options (cereals OR cooked breakfast for example) and the fried eggs looking as if they had been scraped off the no-longer non-stick frying pan...

"Would thoroughly recommend this gem in a beautiful village, perfect for a relaxing stay"

10.0

Lovely venue in a very picturesque village. All the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The pub had a real community feel. The breakfasts and the food in the pub were very much enjoyed. The rooms were very comfortable and it was really quiet overnight with only birdsong to wake you up in the morning!

Not the property’s issue but the situation is not very well linked to public transport so car or cab necessary from train station (Tisbury etc) but the hosts kindly provided a list of reliable cab companies.
