The Casterbridge

Our room was lovely, suitably large with 2 good wardrobes and a light over the dressing table mirror. The mattress was very comfortable and table water was always available. Breakfast was served in the conservatory with a lovely view of the enclosed garden. We ventured away from the Full English to try the omelettes which were delicious! The owner, Noorani Willamson is charming, chatty and very knowledgable about the surrounding area.

We booked this dog-friendly hotel at the last minute. We had asked for feather- free bedding and the staff had gone to the trouble of making sure we had it, before we got there. The 3 bedrooms are in a small annexe next to the pub. There is a little stream flowing past, and a lovely big pine tree close by. After settling in, we had dinner in the main building with our dog. There were others, too. We were told that the menu was changing that night so some things were not available but the meals...

10/10 Excellent

Had a wonderful stay (4 nights in the Stables). The Inn is set in beautiful countryside, and I loved the quaintness of the building, lots of different areas to sit in to eat or have a drink, and a nice covered seating area outside. The room was very comfortable, and the water pressure for the bath was great. Food was superb, the best I've had in a pub (a step above what I'd call 'pub food'). Paolo, Tim, Amanda, and the rest of the team were warm, welcoming and super helpful (including when I...
