The bed was the worst hotel bed I'd ever had the misfortune to have slept on, ended up having to see a chiropractor (not joking) breakfasts was a case of it's ready when we say it's ready, so missed breakfasts both days as had to head to work at 07:50

Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed our stay here. Pub is beautiful and has plenty of room, lovely garden front and back. Free on site parking and breakfast. We didn’t eat there apart from breakfast but always looked busy with people. Great location to get to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door.

Kingly accommodations at the Countryman.

A lovely old inn, upgraded and updated to offer all of the contemporary comforts one might want, including free WiFi /Internet. The room was medium size, with a queen /double bed and wonderfully illuminated bb its skylight. The bed and bed linens were outstanding; couldn’t be better. The pub & restaurant were as charmingly English as a Yank could want and the food was very good. I would return in a heartbeat, given the opportunity, and recommend it to any single or couple. It might be great for larger families, too; I simply don ’t know.

Nice place but not as good as last year

This was our second visit (one year later). The friendliness of the staff is still good but the food quality and service has deteriorated. Quite a long wait for food. Understandable as they were busy and happy to wait for freshly cooked food. However all three different main courses were dry and overcooked. The pasta with the salmon was just a few rings which hadn't been mixed properly with the sauce. At breakfast (which was not busy) there was very little fruit juice in the containers. The milk dispenser was empty an the coffee jug was not refilled. The few croissants were stale. There were only three other people present at breakfast so they were not overstretched.
