This inn is located in the heart of an iconic country village deep in the heart of Dorset. The sleeping rooms are in a separate building from the pub/restaurant so are very quiet; they are nicely furnished and up to date. Breakfasts are cooked to order, and very tasty. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Not a "dislike" per se, just a warning. The pub/restaurant is closed Sunday afternoon and evenings. If this coincides with your arrival/check-in, you must call ahead to make arrangements. There is no food available at that time so you should eat elsewhere or bring something with you (Sunday nights only). (The host offered to prepare something for me but I had enough snacks in the car to get me through to the morning.)

All the staff without exception were welcoming, friendly and had a keen attention to what was required and when it was required. They could have been trained by the best hospitality and catering college in the country but was is more remarkable is that they all learned their craft in the job. The food was excellent. The establishment was all about service which tends to be a rare feature these days.

The room was a little tired and the shower could do with an upgrade

The pub, food, staff & village were all great. We stayed 3 nights and ate in the pub every evening and enjoyed every meal. The breakfast was really good too.

These days check in is usually after 3pm. I didn’t realise until a couple of days before the pub wanted it to be between 1-3. We were both working all morning so couldn’t get there for that time. Luckily the owner was around to let us in. The room was very tired which was a shame as it’s always to go away to somewhere with home from home luxuries or to be even better. Our room only had 2 sky lights and they felt like they were falling apart. Hopefully the rooms will be updated in time. The village is very pretty but there is nothing else there. When I booked I expected to be on the high street in Dorchester! The pub & village is 8 miles from Dorchester! Thankfully the pub food & staff were so good to be there so often 😀

Staff were polite, patient and very helpful. Room was nice, clean and quite large on ground floor, our evening meal was delicious as was our breakfast. Check in/out was quick. Parking was available in the resident parking lot. Comp tea/coffee, biscuits and water. Bed was very comfortable. Woukd definitely stay there again!

There was nothing to dislike overall. However, the bathroom could use some updating, and although we didn’t watch TV, it was quite small, only 30 inches and placed quite a distance to the bed

Situated conveniently off the A37 in a peaceful village just north of Dorchester, The Greyhound Inn boasts a prime location. The welcoming atmosphere upon arrival and the exceptional quality of food served make for a delightful experience, although the dessert menu may not be suitable for those with nut allergies, but there were options. The bedrooms, located opposite the pub, offer a convenient stay; however, the room I booked was Maggie which had the boiler extractor outside the window, as it intermittently operates throughout the night, leading to a less than restful sleep. To ensure a more pleasant stay in the future, it is advisable to request a room away from the boiler extractor noise. By doing so, one can potentially enjoy an exceptional experience at The Greyhound Inn without any disturbances.

Quietly located in a small village away from main roads. Beautiful old country pub that has been bought into the 21 century. The bedrooms which are clean and pleasant have been formed from an old house across the courtyard from the pub. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Owner was friendly and helpful.

Dinner menu was interesting but would be limited if stayed more than a few days. Had to ask for cereals, juice, and toast. Would have preferred if could serve one self. We stayed at a quiet time of year so this may have been a reason.

The breakfast was very good, room accessible earlier than normal check-in time, bed comfortable and staff friendly. Plenty of car parking on-site.

The room smelt damp and we discovered a de-humidifier in the room, which suggested that this was a known issue. It wouldn't work however, as was too full of water. The bedside chair was worn out and the room really required a make-over.

Staff- excellent, very welcoming and friendly Room- cosy, great tea and coffee selection, beds comfortable Car parking included Food - breakfast choices excellent and food was very good

I'm being picky... a lamp would have been nice so I didn't have to get out of bed to turn the light off, and a fan as it was very hot.

Lovely location in pretty Dorset village about 8 miles north of Dorchester. I used as a base for visiting the tank museum at Bovington - about a 35 min journey away. The accommation is across the car park from the pub which is fine and the double en-suite room was well appointed and comfy. Staff and food at the pub were excellent and it felt really friendly for someone travelling alone. Hope to return with a friend to show her the area.

Only minor point is they need to deal with the mould showing around the bottom of the shower cubicle, easy fix with some mould spray remover!

Overall, very good place to stay. We were visiting friends nearby, so a good choice for our locational needs. We got there just before 6pm, so hasd the chance to enjoy an evening meal, as well as breakfast the next morning. Food was great, as was the overall atmosphere. Staff were superb and they ensured we had a good stay.

Only downside was one of the rooms on the ground floor had the main boiler flue next to the window, resulting in my travelling companion not having much sleep at all. I had an upstairs room, no issues for me.
