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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
