Lovely traditional country pub set in a quiet village near Dorchester. Lovely decor. Staff very obligatory and kind, nothing too much trouble and chocolates on arrival as it was a birthday celebration. Food excellent and varied. Excellent Chef in post, lamb and fish dishes were super and cooked to perfection Breakfast lovely. Complimentary tea, coffee, water, biscuits and toiletries.

Breakfast: It would be nice to be able to have a small amount of cereal and cooked items as a choice, not either or! Room: towels not changed despite leaving on floor, but replaced swiftly when we called Reception. Door light: over the door there was an emergency green light on the ceiling. This is directly in your eyesight line when sleeping on the left hand side of the bed and was a cause for disturbed sleep as I am light sensitive.

Considering we booked on a last second whim only a few hours before arriving, this Inn was fantastic for the price we paid. We loved the fact you could have a late check in, which worked well for us having been at work until later in the day. The room was perfect, the views were lovely, and the included breakfast was superb. The restaurant looked great too although we decided not to dine as we needed an early start. The inn has two Skittle alleys, a pool table, and darts board, as well as a lovely bar selling a nice selection of drinks should you wish to indulge.

The bathroom extractor fan was very noisy, so we had to turn it off. Needs some maintenance. There also seemed to be rather a lot of spiders inside the building.

The food was very good and the staff friendly and efficient. It was a very attractive building with good decor inside and out. The location was great, very rural but with easy access to Dorchester and other areas of beautiful Dorset.

The shower head was in need of attention as was obviously full of limescale and the door seal leaked badly. We were disappointed with the standard of housekeeping. On returning to our room on both days the duvet had been flung back on the bed very haphazardly and the runner was trailing on the floor on one day. The pillows had not been plumped and straightened. Also the mugs had not been washed. Also there a film of scum in the wash basin which we had to clean off before we could use it.

The New Inn is a beautifully renovated building, in quiet village location with narrow lanes , as you’d expect. Our room was clean and had a very comfortable, huge bed. A well stocked hospitality tray with everything you could possibly want, teas, coffee biscuits, even bottles of water. In the dining area the tables were well placed giving plenty of space between. We had an evening meal, there were plenty of choices available, good quality and presentation . The same goes for breakfast the next morning. As a bonus we visited Monkey World on our way home as it wasn’t far away.

Excellent staff who were all very helpful. Great communication through e-mails during booking and leading up to check in. The property was spotless and surrounded by a beautiful setting. The room we booked was bigger than expected (a bonus). Biscuits, water, tea and small chocolates left for us to enjoy were a thoughtful touch. The breakfast was set out very nicely, excellent service and foood. Very impressed. Thank you

The only downside was that the room was extremely hot during our stay (weather was beautiful). Only 1 fan provided, maybe could have done with 2. (But no fault of The New Inn- as we didn't ask for another). Windows didn't open much either. Maybe something to bear in mind for future bookings. (Please note- this is not a complaint)

Picturesque and quiet location but close enough to drive to the Jurassic coast. The bedrooms were clean and fresh. The beds very comfortable and really nice pillows and duvets. The team were friendly and would highly recommend the restaurant for dinner. The breakfast also was really good. Overally would visit again and very good value for money.

Only downside was the room was very warm. Luckily it’s so quiet outside you could sleep with the window open but if it’s +25c would be different matter as the fan didn’t do much. Also would like blackout curtains and full length mirror in bedrooms.

The staff were very polite friendly and supportive. The accommodation was good but cleanliness of windows and bathroom could have been improved. The restaurant was very good, food choices excellent and service impeccable. Our tv didn't work due to a fault but the manager gave a discount on our bill in recompense which was welcomed. Parking facilities were also excellent. All in all I would highly recommend this Inn for a stay.

I think the windows needed cleaning and the shower and bathroom in general could also have been cleaned more thoroughly.

Everything was top notch. We booked for 3 adults and 1 kid and we were given 2 bedroom apartment like accommodation which was beautifully decorated. Room size was bigger than average. I never expected this to be this good. Breakfast was included and was one of the best any hotel can offer. We also had dinner and food was scrumptious. Prices we paid was nominal compared to the quality given. Highly recommended . Will visit again for sure. My daughter did not want to leave the property and I promised to visit again.

Everything was spot on, beyond expectations.

Fabulous value for money, had everything you needed in your room plenty of tea, coffee biscuit's, free water, even chocolates on the bed, toiletries, even shower caps and tissues, had far more than l’ve had in a four star hotel, towels were clean bed linen good quality and clean. Breakfast was very good.

Rooms were a little tired, which l didn’t mind considering the cost of the room. But the bathroom needed a good clean a specially the shower. Also the bedrooms were very dusty ie lamp shades, skirting boards.

Well-equipped room with large bed, crisp white sheets, fluffy white towels, tea and coffee making tray. Lovely and warm. Two comfy chairs. Good choice in restaurant in the evening. Breakfast was cooked to order with a wide choice of dishes. Absolutely fantastic. And a big pot of tea and coffee. No pottering back and forth with cups from a buffet. Luxury in a pub!

We like to have fruit at breakfast, but it almost seems churlish to mention there wasn't any.
