Very welcoming and nice pub this with very nice staff. Stayed recently and enjoyed to massive selection of ciders and good food. Nice array of real ales too, but when I get the chance to try this many ciders in one night, I generally stick to those. The huge veggie breakfast was a great end to the stay and served in a very professional way (unlike in the review below). Would definitely recommend this place - probably out if season, as I'm sure it gets packed otherwise.

Spent three nights here last Bank Holiday weekend and it was all good apart from one let down at the very end.
Food and beer were excellent, even the cider was good and I dont really drink that stuff. Another excellent touch was to let the residents of the establishment get their evening meal order in with drink before the doors were opened to the public waiting outside - and it is definately a popular place!
Breakfast was an experience; first day was the biggest fry up I've had at a B&B of any sort, well cooked and very tasty. Second day I had a smoked haddock which took quite a while to arrive but was very good when it did. The third and final day we arrived at breakfast for 835 and ordered food straight away with the coffee. My wifes porridge arrived at 925 in a cool stodge condition and after she'd worked her way through it we left, my breakfast of another smoked haddock never arrived. In the time we waited we had toast and two pots of coffee - I dont believe the staff (That there was of them that Monday morning) were not aware of our wait. I had the distinct feeling the full English got priority over all other cooked food.
To the assistant that seemed to be "In charge" - it is not becoming to wander around with an iPod in your ear whilst talking to people at breakfast, not is it to use vulgar language whilst sitting out back near the kitchen thinking customers in the next room cant hear you, finally if you were so good at "supervising" you'd have gone to find the haddock and the porridge before 925!
To the bloke in a skanky T-shirt and jeans half way down your backside - I really dont want to see your pants while waiting for my breakfast (That never arrived) and some politeness has never injured anyone! Again, vulgar language is not appreciated - customers have ears too, speak English and it does you no favours to speak in that way within earshot of the breakfast rooms.
This place would have got a 10 - but for the last morning...

Excellent selection of beers and cider served from casks kept cool in seperate room. Food moderately priced but good value for money. Low beams gave me a headache. Railway pictures in corridor and tasteful pictures of women in Gents. Ghastly dogs in pub garden and chess board with 1/3 scale pieces.

Thanks to the free wifi this post is live as I sup an excellent pint of 'fossil fuel' from the purbeck brewery, another 5 ales are available, excellent menu choice and quality food within all budgets, well organised friendly staff, well worth a visit if yore in the area

This is a pub which tries really hard to provide a good service and succeeds. Clearly aimed at tourists but in the best possible way. Excellent food. 6 constantly changing real ales mostly from local breweries and 12 ciders and perries all served stright from the barrel. Not the cheapest place but you certainly get your money's worth. The accomodation is also very good provided you don't mind having your breakfast with dogs. Highly recommended. Also they don't have pretentions about being a restaurant and reserve tables which is a good thing. Far better than the terrible Lulworth Cove Inn
