We were welcomed on arrival and shown to our room. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We had a meal in the restaurant on our first night. The food was beautifully cooked. The portions were generous. We were served by Connor who was very enthusiastic and attentive. The bar served a wide choice of drinks. There was a good choice at breakfast with generous portions and the food was well presented and nicely cooked. There was unlimited tea, coffee and toast. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay. We would highly recommend and would be happy to return.

Staff very welcoming and professional. Room lovely, bed comfy but think they should have one firm pillow and one soft pillow on bed. 1st morning breakfast - cereal and yoghurts variety and toaster available for use but 2nd morning nothing laid out no cereal and yoghurt or toast so was limited. Iron ironing board and hairdryer a bonus. The layout of the restaurant and decor had a relaxing cost ambience. Over all happy to go back and have recommended to to family who have already booked in.

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.

Cozy, friendly place. 7 of 10

The room is on top of a typical countryside pub. Standard pub room condition, definitely not worth a 8.8 rating. The hand wash sink was blocked, shower head was broken, furnitures were old and not so clean. Although service was very friendly and helpful. I would rate it 7 of 10, maybe other rooms are better.

Traditional country pub

The room was nice and spacious. The beds were comfy, everything was clean, could perhaps do with some rails on the wall to hold onto getting in and out of bath. The food was fantastic as was the breakfast. There isn’t much nearby and quite isolated especially if you don’t have a car. It was quite expensive to stay.

Rooms were lovely. Spacious and freshly decorated.
However the day we visited the kitchen staff came down with Covid so there was no evening meal.
Also it was VERY hot and the morning staff seemed to have had a poor night of sleep (as did we all). They did not know what was available in the kitchen (we asked for gluten free bread and oat milk and they had to check). Service was slow and we weren't offered jam with the toast

Great location for us to explore Duddle Door, Jurrasic Coast and Beaches nearby. The room was big and spacious for the family of 4. Excellent Breakfast and friendly staff.

Would stay again without a doubt.

Comfortable beds, with clean crisp bedding. The room had everything we needed and was big and spacious. Although they were very understaffed, the women checking us in couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. I was really impressed.

Pleasant B&B over a pub

We were made very welcome when we arrived, including our dog, the room was clean, a very good size and comfortable for our 3 night stay
As expected, in these circumstances and pleased about this, there was no daily housekeeping in the rooms. We put our bin outside our door which was emptied and a new bag put in it on our return. It would of been nice to have had tea/coffee supplies left outside the room each day rather than having to ask for more. This wasnt a problem but maybe a helpful thing to do

We stopped at the hotel the night before heading to Camp Bestival at Lulworth Castle, great location for exploring the coast around Lulworth & Durdle Door as only a short drive away. We had a family room (5) which was very spacious. The breakfast was tasty and had a good selection on the menu. Staff were very friendly.

Great family friendly stay.

The Countryman Inn is fantastic. The staff are all friendly and professional. The room was spacious and clean and although we were in a heat wave the beds were comfortable and a small fan was provided.
The food was great and very reasonably priced. The breakfast was really good our kids had pancakes and we had eggs benedict (delicious and excellent portions).
We travel to Dorset a few times every year and The Countryman Inn will definitely be our preferred hotel from now on. Thank you to Charlie and the rest of the staff - wish we had stayed longer.

Good hotel

This hotel was nice but nothing special, for what we paid was a bit much especially with no breakfast included.
You're about 15 minutes drive from Lulworth Cove or a 40 minute walk on kinda narrow roads.
The room was very spacious and they're children and dog friendly which is why we chose here.

Family stay, 2 adults 2 children - they were having a difficult day with food limitations and plumbing issues but service was good with pleasant staff. Room clean but underside of toilet seat needs attention.

Noisy till midnight but did settle after that. Lovely breakfast.

Christmas stay

The staff was friendly. At the check in they asked when we wanted to have a dinner.
They informed us in advance that they couldn’t prepare breakfast at Christmas and Boxing Day, but replaced it with different fruits and bakery in the room. It was nice.

Great location, very friendly and efficient staff. We stayed in a refurbished room which was excellent, staying on a B & B basis. We had dinner one night also, the food was excellent and the breakfast the following morning was superb. Would have no hesitation staying here again.
