Review from the window/clean room and the staff. I was not at all sure about the food which seemed to lack proper presentation and was not quite what you were expecting. We tried twice with the evening meal but looked elsewhere for the other two nights,

Lovely stay at the Abbey Inn!

Beautiful setting to stay in looking out onto the river! The staff were very friendly and helpful, the pub is stylishly decorated inside, the rooms were nice too. The food was the highlight! The steak pie and the beef burger were really good, and the full English breakfast delicious too! We will definitely be staying again.

Staff all friendly and bedroom overlooking the river was very nice. Bathroom could do with a bit of a refresh but all clean. Food was ok, with vegetarian options. Good for an 'overnighter'. We saw a Dipper on the river from the room (which was named 'Dipper'!)

Lovely traditional inn handily just off a main transport artery. We had dinner and breakfast at the Inn and it was very good. The option to eat outside overlooking the river was a nice bonus. All the staff we dealt with were excellent. The one drawback was the spring mattress which I found to be too soft. Overall a lovely stay.

The staff were wonderful, and the location can't be beat. We unwound each night with a half-pint on the beautiful terrace that is set along the riverbank. The building is a lovely old hodge-podge of levels. We were at the top of it, which involves a stairs-climb that could be hard for some. There is ample parking (very welcome!). It's at the edge of the village, which meant it was a short, pleasant walk to find country lanes for an evening's stroll. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly, and would be happy to stay here again, if we get back to Dorset!

Stayed 2 nights this week with my husband for a belated anniversary trip. Our room was large, clean and comfortable, with a lovely river view. The breakfast and evening meal were superb. We also enjoyed the quiz on Thursday night. The attentive staff and excellent service complemented a relaxing and enjoyable visit. We would happily stay there again and we will be highly recommending The Abbey Inn to all. Thank you!
