Definitely worth a visit :-)
Haydn Martin
We had a superb couple of nights at the Museum. The Hotel exhibits a real delapidated chic.
Wonderful staff made the stay so much better. Great breakfast and very convenient for visiting family in Chettle.

The staff were lovely and the food was exceptional. Especially the breakfast! We visited for my birthday for which the Butcombe loyalty provided some really good offers for
Danny
Lovely place we had a wonderful stay
Paul
We stayed in the room called 'The General' - A gorgeous room in the main building with a lovely four poster bed and a balcony. The room was great, it could just do with a little TLC on a few parts (Very minor). Great staff, lovely pub and wonderful food and drink.
richard
Clean, nice extras. The bathroom tap was a bit beaten up.
Justin
Lovely room and very friendly staff. Highly recommend
Lyn
Good location. Food excellent especially breakfast. I booked 3 rooms for friends and sadly one of the rooms in the stables wasnt as good. Very tired and mouldy..needs a refurb. Staff gave us great service
Rajesh
Breakfast is very good.
Graeme
Very comfortable night, room very nice, bathroom a touch tired but all very clean and well equipped. Great to have a flask of fresh milk for tea. Breakfast was the highlight, this was excellent
Garry
Great service, lovely food, comfy room. Quaint location.
Ian
Room was good. Staff we were and really friendly. Nice breakfast.
Mark
Excellent evening meal options, very clean and great breakfast. My only point to raise was that breakfast didn’t start until 8am, meaning those of us starting work for 9am couldnt enjoy it.
Nigel
Very pleasant. Nice food and good choice in the pub. Very pleasant and accommodating staff.
Nigel
Very helpful staff, and really pleasant. We had an early start, so a take away breakfast was provided. Most appreciated.
Dominic
Lovely pub stay, good food, great friendly service and nice rooms. Only thing bed was a bit soft for me but I slept well.

the Inn is a lovely quiet pub/hotel with good food in an excellent and pretty location surrounded by beautiful thatched cottages
Alexandra
Overnight stay after wedding.
We had a slight issue with the room which was dealt with immediately. We were promptly placed in a new room while they resolved the problem.
Staff were friendly and helpful, and Gluten Free options for breakfast were available.

Very comfortable bed and friendly staff
However it would be helpful to have a small fridge to keep fresh milk and water in especially in hot weather and a shaving light in bathroom

As per Google review, stay was great, last night service was great. Breakfast service was very poor and the food was a huge disappointment for me and my four guests that travelled over.
Pamela
Ok
All ok but not special. No fridge or safe in room. Products in bathroom unnamed which does give a feel of anything special. No hand cream.
Catherine
Great stay at the Museum Inn -excellent value , the room was clean, recently decorated, small but all we needed. The staff very friendly and helpful and a decent breakfast with great choice in a really nice breakfast room. A great place for a short stay…
Ryan
1 night stay 2 stable rooms
From check in to check out and breakfast, was greated with a smile and friendly attitude. Staff where great, beds comfy and breakfast shakshuka and amoothie where delicious!! Amanda and Natalie made breakfast emjoyable and a smile in the morning. 10/10 would recomend this pieceful pub stay in the countryside.
Derek
Very friendly staff and lovely place to stay. Food on the restaurant was excellent.
Claire
Omg! The pie!
Really friendly place. Friendly locals. Delicious food, especially the pie! Comfortable bed in cosy bedrooms. Will definitely book there again when passing in a few months
David
Beautiful traditional English Inn
A beautifully renovated traditional English pub with gorgeous rooms and high class touches like high quality tea, coffee and biscuits in the bedroom. Super King bed - super comfy bedding - warmly decorated. Great chef - dinner was delicious and breakfast very high quality/ would highly recommend
Philip
Characterful hotel in pretty setting
Lovely characterful hotel in pretty countryside setting tucked away in small village. Comfortable beds. Great varied dinner menu with specials board. Room size was perfect for us. Breakfast was really good with varied menu. Efficient and friendly staff.
Neville
Chain hotel makes for expensive stopover
Vey expensive, dinner was disappointing, service poor (since dining room competing with bar regulars), all meals extra charge. Bedside light not working on one side. set in a pleasant village but no local options for meals.
Jonathan
Not great for business travellers. But overall ok.
WiFi is non existent in the stables. Not great for Business travellers.
Food in the restaurant was fairly bland, chicken shawarma was flavourless.
Rooms were a little tired.
If I’d have come with my wife for a nice trip it would have been fine but for business it was below par.

Hilary
We spent a few days here to celebrate our anniversary and explore Dorset and surrounding area, we visited some National Trusts.
The Museum Inn was in an ideal position. The staff were all very friendly, food was excellent, the room we have was “The Catch” very large, clean and comfortable. We have an electric car that we were able to charge on the property which was very useful.
My only concern was the choice of carpet colour in the restaurant and breakfast room, being very pale it was showing a lot of marks where things had been spilt, apart from the it was a very enjoyable stay.

Not bad but could be better
Nice place and nice staff. Nice coffee but no milk in room . Breakfast a little late for me as quoted 8.30 and needed to have left by 8am.
Nigel
Highly recommend. We were late arriving, due to the Cannel Island ferry breaking down in Guernsey harbour, but we were still able to have an evening meal, which was very nice in itself, and very welcome. The staff were very pleasant, and the room very comfortable. Tim served the breakfast, and is the perfect host. It is a most picturesque location, and we will most definitely stay here again.
Ann-Marie
Great people, room, food. No phone signal or WiFi
Great people and friendly service, lovely room, great breakfasts and we ate one night in the pub as well and the burgers are very good. Great gf bread. Really good vegan and veggie options too but worth knowing if you are that the inn is shooting and hunting themed- our room was called “The chase” and had a picture of a fox/drag hunt - hunter on horse and dogs -facing the bed. The breakfast room is v nice with pictures of shotguns and pheasants. Lovely residents room as well.
Lovely quiet place in a little beautiful village.
No phone signal or WiFi, only able to connect on the last night of 5 - the sign up page never appeared until then so we had no connectivity at all while we were there. For a couple of reasons this was a real problem for us, if it’s not a problem for you then this is a lovely place. The room had some low humming from I think the extractor fan outside it but I only had to pop earplugs in one night and I am q sensitive to noise.
They also offer a breakfast to go option if you have to leave earlier than breakfast time. We arranged for one but it didn’t appear and I didn’t hear back why, I assume just human error which happens and is fine but thinking you are going on the road with bacon sarnies and them then not being there is worse than just not having them! No fridge in the room but they do provide fresh milk on request, incl oat milk :) Great toiletries in rooms and a hairdryer. Comfy bed!

Just lovely !
Lovely warm welcome from staff member even though we were late arriving. Lovely late drink in the bar. Lovely (and huge !) room and bathroom. Lovely breakfast. Lovely service. Altogether a really a lovely short stay.
(Only minor negative - the wifi was poor to non-existent esp in the bedroom - not a major issue for us, but could have been for some especially as there was negligible mobile reception)

Great stay in the English Countryside
We stayed here on our way from Newquay to the airport stopping at Durdle Door. The service and breakfast was great! We had a lovely stay.
Andrea
4 night stay in the Stables
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 had a puncture on my first day!). Would definitely stay again if I get the chance.

Lovely place to stay in a quiet, picturesque village. Staff make you feel very welcome and the property is gorgeous. Really would have loved to stay longer, a perfect place to stay while visiting Dorset.
Nicola
Lovely Hotel/restaurant
Lovely stay! EV chargers were very handy for us. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Excellent food.
Lovely location. Quiet in the evenings and a nice area to walk around in the mornings.
Room was great if a little dimly lit! Bathroom was lovely and big with a great shower. Good amenities.
20 mins to Blandford Forum and 30 mins to Salisbury by car so very easy to get about.
Overall, a great stay, would definitely recommend for a beautiful country break!

Stayed here whilst working in area. Room was very good with quality hot drinks including sachets of hot chocolate. Choice of 3 Butcombe real ales with very friendly staff.
Evening food menu was a little pricey and the portion sizes were average but it was freshly cooked. Did not have chance to sample breakfast as had to leave early next day.

Upmarket rural country inn
Rural upmarket pub. Old house with modern amenities and good restaurant with good breakfast. Electric car chargers but hotel location somewhat hidden in little village.
Marsadez
Best food and stay!
Our stay was absolutely amazing! Service was great, everyone was super friendly! We were in a rush to leave in the morning because we had other things booked, so we weren’t able to partake in breakfast and one of the ladies offered to pack us up some delicious croissants and some apples for our travels! We also had dinner there the night we checked in and it was the best food we had all holiday! If we are ever fortunate to come back we will make sure we stay here again!
Sophie
Fantastic find! Would highly recommend a visit. Great accommodation, fantastic food and friendly atmosphere and staff.

Nice place
Nice little hotel on the edge of Dorset. We would use it again if we needed to.
The breakfast are different and superb. The florentine eggs benedict are certainly worth sampling and the food offer in the evenings was pretty good too.

A good stay
A good stay for a night. Room and bathroom were clean, nice eco touches with the products in the room - toiletries and the drinks. Ground coffee was good, better than the sachets of instant.
The bathroom was clean, but looking a bit tired. Extractor fan didn't seem to do a lot as after showering it was very damp and humid for hours afterwards. This, and the starchy towels and bedding did make for a bit of a funky smelling room which was quite hard to air due to only one small window.
Food in the pub for dinner and breakfast were very nice and things that were more than average pub grub - tasty options for veggies/dairy free.
Service from all staff we encountered throughout our stay was okay.
Overall, it did us good for a night and a base to see friends who lived nearby.

Really enjoyed our stay. The staff are friendly. The place has a lot of character and the room was spaces and clean. Unfortunately we did no eat a evening meal but if the breakfast is anything to go by it should be good. Would recommend to anyone.

Pleasant and comfortable stay
Pleasant and comfortable stay in a charming hotel in a lovely Dorset village. Staff very helpful and attentive. A few small issues of attention to detail in the room could have made the stay more complete. Recommend nevertheless.
Mandy
Lovely quiet pub out in the country. Excellent facilities, good choice of drink, spirits etc.
We stayed and the room was lovely; clean, thoughtful touches such as choice of tea and fresh coffee with a French press.
Pillow spray and ear plugs !!
Will definitely go again.

A hidden gem
Lovely country pub with rooms in an idyllic location. Staff are great and particularly the lady managing breakfast, she helped me out with an earlier than scheduled breakfast when I hadn't read the meal timings properly. Will be my stopover of choice next time I'm in the area. Oh, and it's Butcombe owned, always a good standard.
Justin
Nice place to stay
Great hotel and lovely village. Friendly staff and great coffee at breakfast. All too often overnight stays away can be a little disappointing but not this time, the Museum Inn was a great experience. Highly recommend staying here

A lovely place for a short break. The room was comfortable and well appointed with a superb en suite bathroom. Food was delicious. Recommended!

One Night Stay
Very basic bathroom- needs a facelift- leaking water from shower. Room suffices but poor overall for the money.
Food very over priced for what it was. Very mediocre and sent mains back.

Great one night stay
Lovely one night stay at The Museum Inn. Smooth check-in, nice room in the Stables. Dog friendly, good breakfast. Had nice evening meal as well. The Museum has just been taken over by Butcombe and one minor issue with their new systems charging twice for dogs but dealt with immediately and professionally. We will return :-)
Jonathan
the pub was clean and tidy, room was very nice.
the food was presented well but i ordered steak because it was so tough i couldnt cut it with a steak knife. the chef sent it back to me saying it was just a bit on the end, so tried to cut through the middle of the steak and again couldnt cut it
they sent me another and was no better

Needs an update
Lovely team .. very very friendly and helpful.
Came to the museum some years ago and enjoyed it very much .
Not sure who owns it now, but boy…does it need a bit of money spending on it .. bath surround chipped and shabby .. hessian carpets stained and old (stairs and dining room especially ..yuk)
Great location .. lovely people .. just in dire need of an update

The main pub was lovely & staff were brilliant.
The accommodation outside the main building needs updating. The shower screen let the water through onto the floor, which we had to mop up. The toilet seat didn’t stay up, which was not convenient for a man. Also the hot tap cap kept falling off.
