Good place to stay but needs a clean
The check-in was great on arrival with plenty of info from Courtney.
The food in the pub was also good with no complaints.
The room I stayed in needs a good deep clean both in the bedroom and bathroom.
You could also hear every noise from people walking past your room with the floors creaking and doors shutting which made for a terrible nights sleep.

Good value for money
We stopped here for an overnight stay, room was clean and comfortable, plenty of parking, the food was good and great value for money. Not far from Poole park to do Park Run on Saturday - so all in all a good little find.

Only stayed one night and had a comfortable clean bed. The room was pokey, poorly decorated and bathroom was shabby. If you opened the windows cooking smells came in from the kitchen.
