The Swan Inn - North Dorset

I have stayed at this fantastic place for the second time. The bed is like a soft marshmallow, the room is clean and fantastic, and the breakfast is delicious. It offers great value for money.

I absolutely adore this pub. It was the second pub we visited that night for our cousins' reunion outing. The pub had a welcoming atmosphere and live music playing that evening, which made us all decide to end our night there. I would definitely consider booking a night at this pub in the future.

The staff at this restaurant is fantastic, offering a warm welcome. The room I stayed in was very small but clean, and the bed was comfortable. The bar offers a great selection of beers. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it. The only downside was that the room was quite dark due to two bulbs not working.

Good food, service was good, they need coffee machine going all day often I would go in there for a coffee and my husband a cider as I do not want alcohol in the day so we end up going home or go elsewhere which is a shame.

This review is for the restaurant that we visited on Saturday 24 February 2024. We had a very pleasant waitress who guided us to our table. I ordered liver and bacon with vegetables. The liver was overcooked and the bacon was very tough and inedible. Parsnips were totally burnt and akin to charcoal pieces, totally inedible. All of the small baby carrots showed signs of being burnt and scorched. My wife's bowl of chicken with salad came with a rasher of bacon, which again was very tough and inedible. We were the only customers in the restaurant. The question is how can the chef during the quiet period, manages to burn the food and then dishes up the food and says that it's ready to go to the customers table. Obviously no care for customer service nor any pride in their work. Will not go back and will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
