Quiet, remote location but relatively expensive
Hotel in a remote area so nothing within walking distance. Room was cold so I had to activate a portable, plug in heater. Dinner menu was fairly basic...no chicken, fish. Bathroom was small and shaving light not working. Relatively expensive compared to other hotels in the area.

Located in a quiet rural sleepy English village is this charming pub with rooms. The tired looking outside contradicts the nicely decorated room. It's small with a tiny bathroom but had the usual facilities and was clean. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. Food was really very good, simple but delicious.

This is a really lovely place to stay. I was given the 2 bedroom cottage next door to the pub, and it is very well catered for. Kitchen, living room, dining area, etc. Bathroom was very clean. Great place for morning walks and dinner at the pub next door. Very quiet and peaceful. Will definitely stay here again.

One night business stay
Very nice village type pub, very nice evening menu, & food pleasant staff, although it says breakfast at 8-30 , they will do an earlier breakfast if you ask, parking may be an issue, as it’s on road, outside the pub , there is a small car park to the rear via a very narrow entrance, otherwise all good,

Great stay
I cant speak highly enough of our stay at the oak at dewlish. This is classic old village pub, the atmosphere is very local and welcoming. Really nice countryside around. The rooms felt like they were newly refurbished in a nice way and very comfortable. Really nice for the price point. The food is very good, classic pub grub and a good breakfast

Wonderful experience
The hotel and staff were excellent. The hotel is off the beaten track a little way from Dorchester - but well worth the effort and drive. The staff can’t do enough to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Excellent breakfast also.
