    Carvery on a Sunday is excellent; shame they're not at all vegetarian-friendly as absolutely…read moreeverything seemed to have meat in! As a carnivore I loved the choice of meats, sides and sauces for an affordable, enjoyable full Sunday roast we didn't have to cook at home. However I wouldn't be able to bring my vegetarian family members and boyfriend here again as there was nothing except dry vegetables for them to eat - upon asking if a certain item contained meat we were informed 'probably not', not exactly reassuring! I know traditional carvery restaurants are supposed to be all about the meat but many do provide vegetarian options so families can enjoy a meal together, something that would be ideal here. Be sure to book in advance on Sundays or bank holidays as it can get very busy.

    Stayed here with my partner on Saturday 30th for one night. The area is residential and quite and…read moreonly 5 minutes from the seafront. Prior to arrival I spoke to Angela who was very helpful and had no issues with my partner and I checking in early before attending a wedding which was a great help. The staff and owners were friendly and polite on arrival. I checked in quickly and ascended the stairs (no lift so not suitable for people who require disabled access) to my room. We had room 3 which was the four poster suite, it was very spacious with a good size en-suite bathroom. Despite the dated decor the room was bright (lots of big windows) and airy and as well as the four poster bed had a living room area with a sofa, table, arm chair, side table with tea/coffee and biscuits, tv and magazines. The room also contained a dressing table/draw and chair, wardrobe, two dressing gowns, a second arm chair and bedside tables. The bathroom was spacious and had white fluffy bath sheets and hand towels and consisted of a fill size bath would shower overhead. Sadly the water temperature was a little temperamental and the shower had no pump so the pressure was weak but was adequate for a quick wash. The room was spotless and the only parts of the room which need attention due to feathers, dust and cobwebs is under/behind the bed and the top frame of the bed but other than that the room was spotless. We needed an iron the morning of departure which was quickly delivered to our room however no ironing board was available so we had to use the table which wasn't a problem for us. The hotel does not offer breakfast but there is a pub restaurant which offers lunch and dinner. There's a small car park right outside and a little seating area/front garden where you can enjoy the sunshine. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

    The Square and Compass is such a gem if you're looking for an authentic pub experience in the…read moreEnglish countryside! The views alone are worth the visit, but the unique character of the place makes it even better. From the beer garden in the back to the small museum of fossils and local artifacts, it really has a one-of-a-kind charm. One thing I loved was the quirky "Woodhenge" sculpture in the parking lot--made from tree trunks, it's been standing since 2015 despite the local council initially wanting it taken down. It's still there as of my recent visit, and it's a fun little sight that adds even more personality to the place. The menu is limited, but that's part of the charm! I had the sausage roll, and it was sooo good! The warm, flaky crust and flavorful sausage made for the perfect pub snack. We sat inside since it was a warm day, and the locals couldn't have been friendlier. My friend and I (a pair of Americans) were welcomed like old friends, which made the whole experience even more special. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area--especially if you want to enjoy the local history, great beer, and a fantastic countryside view.

    A couple of friends and I once went for a hike along the South West Coast Path in Dorset. It took…read moreus a couple of hours and was really nice: good weather, beautiful sea views, rolling pastures, and a great pub at the end. That pub turned out to be the Square and Compass. When we arrived it was warm and sunny, and most people were sitting on the dozens of outside tables, rocks, or just on the grass, enoying the sunshine. Oddly, a large number of chickens were strolling through the assembled patrons, but no one - drinker nor chicken - seemed to mind. There was a band playing some Beatles covers, too, though they finished shortly after we arrived. This is a proper country pub, long, low and very old wood and stone. They keep kegs of real ale and cider in a pump room here, so you order at the hatch. Check the Dinosaur Room while you're there. I won't say any more, since it deserves to be a surprise. I can't imagine a more relaxed, laid-back, country pub. The only downside was that although we'd planned to take a local bus back to Swanage, where our car was parked, those services don't run on Sundays. The day was so nice we decided to walk back anyway (along the road, though, a much shorter trip than the coastal path). EDIT: I was back again today, and despite the weather being crap - or maybe because of it - this pub was even better. We walked down to the ocean, to watch the surf pound the cliffs by the old quarry. We wedged into one of the tiny rooms and ate pasties and drank Ringwood ale. We gazed in wonder at the bizarre little fossil-and-beach-item museum at the back.
