The Duchess of Cornwall Inn
Lovely staff, very friendly. Great food whether eating a Bar Snack or main meal in the restaurant. Room was very clean, only one very minor snag was that we felt it could do with better lighting, the room seemed quite dark and made it difficult to read

Half Pint Cottage
We stayed here for 3 nights, the property was spotlessly clean on arrival. Parking at the cottage was a blessing as the road outside was busy with residents cars. An ideal base to explore Dorset, and several pubs within easy walking distance. Would stay here again.
