Breakfast was simple but fine, continental style. The pub had a large restaurant. The food was served in large portions and was very hot. The menu perhaps needed one or two more items on it that did not mean having chips. The room was clean, if compact, with a large TV.

Although this is beyond the control of the pub, we did not like the annoying hooting of trains, particularly at 6.30am, as they went past the nearby level crossing, even though barriers came down across the road. The flooring in our room in the outbuilding creaked, which was not good if one of us needed to get up in the night to use the loo. A man's gripe - the toilet seats needed to be held up with one hand, otherwise they would fall down.

The rooms were small but in a cute cozy way, not a cramped stingy way. They have aircon, which is a rarity in UK, but essential for a good night's sleep in summer, so that was wonderful. The bed was super comfy. The staff very friendly and helpful. The location is quite rural, but a good centre for exploring. The coast is 20 minutes, Dorchester 15 minutes. The included continental breakfast also adds value.

The only thing we didn't like was the tables in the courtyard are right by the room entrance. So we were trying to sleep after a long drive, and there were people in the courtyard chatting till very late. There were quite a few flies in the dining area, but that is a common problem in UK summers, but annoying none the less.

We stayed here as we were going to Tiger Day at Bovington Camp Tank Musuem. The pub was situated perfectly for the short journey to the location. Plenty of space in the car park. Breakfast was continental which disappointed my husband, as he would have liked the option of a cooked breakfast. This was due to the more remote location, and the difficulty in getting a chef in the mornings. However, what was on offer was perfectly good. The room was a good size, and the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom and shower were good. The room was clean, and had adjustable aircon/heating. The bar and restaurant food was excellent, and good value. The steak we had the first night was one of the best I have had. The staff were friendly and helpful. If we go for Tankfest next year, we would definitely consider staying here again.

As mentioned above, the option of a cooked breakfast would have been better, but we could understand the difficultly of providing this.

Yet another lovely stay at the Frampton Arms . We always request the same room no 12 . The staff , as always are lovely and friendly

Rooms do need a refresh with a lick of paint but it didn't spoil our stay. We didn't have breakfast as we prefer a cooked breakfast when away which is such a shame the hotel has stopped doing them . Food in the restaurant was lovely but not as extensive as it used to be which is a shame . Saying that we really enjoyed what we had . We were there the week before Christmas but we were disappointed with the lack of decorations, small tree in restaurant only and no log fire burning of a night in the bar area

Very nice place to stay and for us it was great. Room was comfortable, clean and a good choice of toiletries provided. Restaurant was excellent.

The restaurant closed at 1830 on a Sunday and this is not mentioned in the description of the place. A Dutch family arrived after this time and received a curt “restaurant is closed “. In itself it’s understandable it closed, but there seemed little apology, no suggestions about alternatives, no suggestions about takeaways close by. The breakfast is described as continental or buffet which suggests a choice. It is just a continental breakfast and not much of a choice offered.

The location was beautiful and the pub itself was really nice and had great food! The Sunday roast was amazing and possibly the best I’ve had. The rooms were really nice and spacious, with good bathroom facilities, air con (which was very appreciated in the summer heat). The check in process was really easy and all in all it was perfect for our overnight stay. - Free parking - breakfast was simple but good - body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom - nice staff

Nothing, it was all great

We liked the continental breakfasts as there was a good choice of food and drinks. There was a power cut on the last evening we stayed there and we had some lovely crab sandwiches and a ploughmans in the bar (lit by battery-powered tea lights) where the atmosphere was great. We were not charged for the cold meal nor for the 2 hot evening meals we had had earlier in our stay (to compensate us for the inconvenience of the power cut).

Not much.

Very clean, staff friendly, rooms well appointed and cosy. Breakfast supplied a good choice of continental breakfast. Evening meal tasty. Although next to a railway station , trains not heard.

Minor things. Air con doing its own thing and noisy. Extractor in bathroom going on for ages, noisy. Only soy milk as an alternative to cows milk and that is disliked by many. Coffee cold at breakfast. Fire alarm going off early in the morning but that was a fault so difficult to anticipate ! Light out over pub sign so I drove by in the dark and rain and was taken on a long detour to find it. Main point was that our rooms were outside the main building and we could not find obvious information in our rooms of how to contact someone out of hours for emergency or information. Hopefully these points are constructive and can be thought about.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I had been asked before arrival if I wanted a ground or first floor room. I had chosen ground, as I find stairs difficult. This obviously didn't get passed on, as on arrival I had been allocated an upstairs room, but it was immediately and cheerfully changed. I was having difficulty walking, using a stick, and all members of staff went out of their way to be helpful and allow me to sit as much as possible. I had a very nice dessert in the pub, then went to my room, which was outside the pub, off a courtyard with outside seating. The room was lovely, bigger than I expected, tastefully decorated and warm with a separate bathroom. And a bath, always a plus in my opinion. The breakfast was a cold buffet, but plentiful and endless coffee. There was seating close to the buffet, which my bad leg appreciated. Carrying plates and cups with one hand occupied by a walking stick is always a juggling act!

Difficult to think of anything to complain about. The bath was a little higher off the ground than usual, but manageable. At least the bathroom was a reasonable size, laid out well. There's a train line right next to the pub, but I don't remember hearing it at all

The place had a unique charm — though it felt isolated, the bar inside the property brought a lively vibe with people buzzing around. The rooms were decently sized, well-equipped with all necessary amenities, and comfortable for our stay. The receptionist was warm and welcoming, making our check-in experience pleasant.

Our rooms were located on the first floor, and since there were no lifts, we had to carry our bags up a narrow staircase, which was a bit of a challenge. Also, the breakfast could have been better in terms of variety.
