Guest Reviews
- Andrew (10/5): - Superb spacious room, with great en-suite. Wake up to the fabulous views over the countryside. Lovely food. An excellent place to stay.
- Melissa (10/5): - Amazing
- Katherine (10/5): Fabulous stay! - Had a lovely stay!! Room was beautiful- spacious, clean and very tastefully decorated. Managed to get the room before having to leave for a wedding at 1pm (thank you very much for doing this for us!!), was a great location for a wedding at Mapperton House, and then using Craig’s taxis to taxi there and back. Breakfast the next day was reasonably priced & tasty, eaten in the lovely dining area. Also fabulous views over the countryside! Would definitely recommend this to anyone coming to the area/attending a wedding at Mapperton House!
- Sue (10/5): - Lovely find, excellent evening meal and breakfast, friendly, helpful staff. Room was great and large comfy bed.
- Alan (10/5): - Great location
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was our second stay and Winyards and again it was amazing. Everything you could possibly need is in the room, and the pub and food offered are fab. The staff are super friendly and helpful. It's a great dog friendly stay!
- Simon (10/5): December break - We enjoyed the spacious room 6. The food was very good and fairly priced. Nice walks and lovely views.
- Lesley (10/5): - We were very impressed with the friendly atmosphere and the accommodation was very comfortable and clean.
- Jacqueline (10/5): Dorset surprise! - Good welcome, surprised by hotels position, great views, well arranged cabins, nicely presented - don’t think lights in cabin need to be on (eco point) Really good brekker,served with a smile I’d definitely stay again, well done Winyards
- Sarah (10/5): - Solo female traveller - felt very safe, welcome and relaxed. Very comfortable bed and modern, clean room/ensuite, newly refurbished and has everything to make a stay very pleasant. Beautiful views and easy parking. The staff have been attentive and clearly wanting to make sure my stay is perfect, which it has been. Would highly recommend.
- Caroline (10/5): Excellent - Stayed two nights. I couldn't fault the room, the service or the restaurant. Very impressed. Will stay again if I need to be in the area
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Our trip was great, they were super dog friendly and the attention to details was fabulous. At check out the member of staff remembered what we had said at breakfast the prior day and the little touches were fabulous
- Debbie (10/5): - The Winyard’s Gap is in a beautiful setting. The rooms are perfect, clean, fresh and comfortable. Staff very friendly and give an excellent service. Food in restaurant is excellent. Will definitely visit again whether it be to eat or stay.
- Denise (10/5): - Lovely spacious purpose built accommodation. Pleasant breakfast.
- Yvonne (10/5): Relaxing Holiday - We found everyone at the Inn very friendly and helpful. The room was excellent the only grumble was because I am not very tall, I had problems geting in and out of a very deep bath. The food was very good. We would definitely stay again.
- JJ (10/5): Excellent - Excellent room. Great food, Lovely friendly staff. What's not to love.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Our stay was ok. The room was spacious and the welcome was pleasant. However, we were disappointed to see and hear a fight break out in the car park and when we woke in the morning to get ready for the wedding we were attending, there was no hot water which was extremely frustrating.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Hidden gem - As always this is a top place to stay, rooms are lovely, food is great and staff are amazing.
- Clive (10/5): Excellent - Lovely stay - my dog was welcome
- Stacey (10/5): - Five stars. More than five stars if it were an option!! The staff at this hotel are absolute legends, especially Lucy and the chef. We aren’t local to the area and stayed at the hotel this past weekend to attend a wedding. We had to ask for an early check in to accommodate us, and sure enough our room was ready as had been promised despite our early arrival. At the point we were getting ready, disaster struck as my partner discovered he had left his suit trousers at home! Without hesitating the team sprung into action: the chef offering his own suit from upstairs, Lucy immediately drove home to collect two suits, one from her partner the other her father, and had somehow returned within ten minutes of this all starting. Thankfully one of the suits fitted — we cannot begin to thank them enough for their help. They truly saved the day! To top it all off, the room was fantastic, and the breakfast amazing. If we ever return to the area, this is the only property we would ever consider staying at!
- Gary (10/5): Great pub with rooms! - Great little place to stay. The modern rooms are separate to the pub and clean, comfortable and quiet! Great breakfast and a superb view over the hills if eating outside. They were very dog friendly in both the pub and the room.
- Lauren (10/5): - Our small family had a really lovely 3 day break at Winyard's Gap Inn. The staff were uniformly welcoming, friendly and quick in their service. The room was nicely decorated, quiet and well appointed. The food (dinners and breakfasts) was great quality and good variety, served in a friendly and comfortable pub. The pub is about a 30 min drive from beautiful Dorset beaches, with lots of local walks across countryside. Highly recommended.
- Lisa (8/5): - View back into Somerset is fantastic. Great dining
- William (10/5): - Food was excellent.
- Graham (10/5): - We had a very pleasant stay. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The bar and food was also very good. I would be happy to stay at this hotel again.
- karen (10/5): - Loved our quick pit stop at Winyards. Fab food, Uber comfy bed, GORGEOUS countryside surroundings. Great find, we’d be very happy to stay again.
- Susan (10/5): Room 1 - I arrived quite late and the staff were very busy but they welcomed me and Graham and Lucy were brilliant. Graham the manager helped me to my room with all my bags and luggage as i walk with a stock and had several levels of steps(not steep). I was in room 1 beautifully clean and modern, just a couple of issues on stepping into the room the matt was lover than the edging so a trip factor, no handrail in the bath area, and a new battery needed in clock. But it was lovely, i had the ribeye steak medium and it was perfect as was the Cheddington mess (eton mess) but nicer. Bed was so comfortable and they even supplied lactose free milk and decaff coffee and tea. Fabulous service. Maybe another slight negative was the food was rather expensive but i enjoyed all meals i had here. Well done from ne i loved staying at Winyards gap inn. Thank you so much.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful setting, lovely large room separate from the pub which is ideal especially in the current circumstances, delicious evening meal, fantastic chef! Great service.
- Julie (10/5): - Splendid accommodation with excellent food options

- Leyton (10/5): Good all Rounder - Beautiful warm rooms in a good location. Tea and coffee making facilities, Rooms look brand new. English breakfast is £10 extra and Continental breakfast is around £6. All rooms attached to each other behind the pub. Rooms had paper thin walls, I could hear everything the room next to me was doing from drawing the blinds, to having a shower and could also hear some of the conversations (I might have had noisy neighbours). Good all rounder and I would stay here again!
- Mary David (10/5): - Our stay was delightful. Friendly welcoming staff and a lovely room with all the comforts for a good night’s rest. Wonderful morning shower and good breakfast.
- Verified traveler (10/5): omf and friendly - Friendly welcome, fresh milk to complement the Nespresso, comfortable bed, great breakfast.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay - Lovely place great food too !
- Catherine (10/5): Great Stay - Very good value for price - lovely room and en suite, good breakfast. The Pub is near some lovely walks. Great pub food in the evening. Literally the only down side is you can't check in between 3 pm and 6 pm as the pub is closed - would be good if there was a key-box system for check-ins between these hours.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Was lovely view and location. Very clean lovely service. Would definitely go back.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved Winyards Gap-our room & new en-suite was bright, modern & extremely comfortable; the restaurant choice was amazing and all our meals were divine. We only booked to stay one night, but will be booking for longer next time so we can explore the area more (we only had chance to go for a walk nearby after dinner and it was so beautiful). Highly highly highly recommended!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Like a new pin - We were exploring one of our favourite regions and wanted a nice but good value stop over. The WGI turned out to be ideal. We had a room at the rear of the Inn in one of their lodges built about 2 years ago but which looked and felt brand new...like a new pin. Great big comfy bed. Crisp white linen. Lovely bathroom. Warm but spaceous with a volted ceiling. Really nice. A luxurious night was followed by a delicious breakfast. Great place to stay!
- Mark (10/5): Winyard's Gap - the best place I have stayed in to years, very clean comfortable room good shower
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Situated at the rear of a boutique pub, the bedroom/ensuite accommodation was warm (underfloor heating) and very modern. Tea and coffee making facilities were provided, bed and pillows were very comfortable. It was quiet and very clean also! We didn't have a meal in the adjacent hotel but the menu looked excellent and when we arrived back in the evening the place was full of diners and breakfast would have been provided if we hadn't had to leave so early in the morning. We had business in Beaminster but would have liked to stay to explore the area- beautiful countryside.
- mary (10/5): Dog lovers’ paradise - The studio is well equipped for the self-caterer and the food at the inn is very good. The bed is extremely comfortable and it would be very peaceful stay if it weren’t for the road which is near the window. The local area is a walker’s paradise.
- Carl (10/5): Great place to stay - Great place to stay - rooms are clean and have coffee machine and tea making facility. Good size TV, desk to work at and a lovely comfortable bed. Food was lovely and the people were friendly.
- Jane (10/5): Great place with lovely food - Lovely clean comfortable room with everything you need for an overnight stay. Warm welcome and great food in restaurant.
- Stephen (10/5): Great hospitality - From the moment we arrived the staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Throughout our stay nothing was too much trouble. The food was very good and much better than usual pub fayre and the rooms were modern clean and comfortable. We will definitely return
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice location with view of countryside. The rooms looked brand new, along with an amazingly comfortable bed. The bathroom was also very nice, with an exceptional shower. In the morning breakfast was also very enjoyable, although may be a good idea to include in the price of the room.
