This pub is exactly as the name suggests.. A large inn with a rustic, hearty feel, perfect for few pints and a bite to eat after plenty of fresh air in Hardy country. The inn also has 10 bedrooms and is dog friendly (including accommodation). Beers were Ringwood Razor back, Rockin Rudolph, sharps Doom bar and a Countryman special brewed at a local brewery. Food is real pub grub, and be warned, large portions.. The full English breakfast is huge.. recommended

Just had a really great visit to The Countryman, good play area for the kids. Extensive wine list and selection of beers. Good food for all the family, generous portions and great ingredients. Plus free pool!!

Recent refurb. has changed it greatly.
Better now than has been for some years.

When we arrived many of the dishes on the blackboard had sold out stickers on them. That's fine but the chap who took our order then returned twice to tell us various items we'd ordered were also sold out despite not having a sticker. Dirty plates were never taken away even though we were there over an hour, and we had to ask twice before they remembered the kids ice cream.

We have just spent a weekend in the area with our local cricket team on tour. We spent 2 evenings in The Countryman in East Knighton. They could not have been friendlier, the beer was good, food fine. They even put free food on for the team and families and a band both evenings. Child friendly with great play area outside in garden. Thanks!

Poor service got ignored at the bar for ten minutes,locals made welcome food ok decor smart atmosphere hostile

This place isn't a boutique hotel - it's a B & B in the middle of Dorset! The landlord was lovely, the service was friendly, plenty of places both in and outside to sit/park, the carvery is good, the rooms are big and the price is right (especially compared to some of the other local hostelries). Will definitely be back. If you want designer accoms, stay in London.

Spacious pub which serves a very decent pint of Ringwood. Good place to sit down for an hour or so with a pint and a book. Nothing legendary but not to be sniffed at.
|
Priced and aimed at retired folks.
Beer selection is poor.
Food is not so good, but service is fine.
|
Brilliant Pub, Brilliant Food. Well worth a visit . Best carvery I have EVER had. I will go back lots more.
