"We had the loveliest weekend staying at Winyards Gap Inn all the staff are brilliant (especially the new manager, who is just lovely and the food and drink was top notch in addition to a great range of beer and cider, there are a fair few alcohol free options too. Inside the pub is lovely and cosy, and there's sheltered outdoor seating and an incredible beer garden too, with the most stunning views. I could have sat there all day! The room was very comfortable, and all areas are dog friendly our little dog had a lovely time too. Breakfast was great, and a special mention for the chef who makes the best scrambled eggs I've had in a long time. One thing that would be nice would be if a little more information on the local area could be provided in the rooms our signal was pretty poor and the pub WiFi didn't quite stretch to where we were staying (although in many ways that was quite nice! so we had to be fairly tactical when it came to sitting down and deciding how to spend each day a guide book or a few little pamphlets could have helped a lot! Overall though, I'd be back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for such a lovely weekend!"

"I arrived in the evening it was already dark. Pulled into the completely dark, empty carpark and looked at the huge dark building in front of me. The central area had lights on but both ‘wings’ of the hotel were in darkness’. As I crossed the carpark and got closer I could see into some of the public areas which were obviously closed. I noticed the windows were dirty and weeds growing up between the pavers. After a long day travelling I was disappointed to find that the hotel must be closed! I pushed the door and it opened, I went inside and there was no one. Not on reception, in the bar, no one anywhere. Next to the lift I found an envelope with my name on it. They room key inside and phone number of some local pubs if I wanted to eat. I had to get back in my car and go out again to find something to eat. In the morning i realised they didn’t serve breakfast and I had to go buy it in a cafe across the carpark. The room itself was ok, a bit grubby in a few places and the bathroom was really hot while the room was cold as the air con was on all day. After breakfast I left my key back on the table and left. I can’t say for sure if i was the only guest but being in a huge building with the front door unlocked, on my own, with no staff was a little unnerving. I won’t be back."

"We were on a very quick stay, with our two dogs, but we will be back! Room was comfortable and super quiet Tess with the windows out over the pavement. We didn't have dinner but did have a divine chocolate mousse dessert which melted in our mouths, and very nice red wines. Had to head out early but managed a quick Eggs Benedict and Eggs Royale. Will be back to spend more time and Hardy energy in the area!"

"My wife and I visited this restaurant last weekend for an afternoon tea that was a birthday gift for her. The hotel was lovely, the grounds were very nice, and the staff was excellent. The afternoon tea was exactly what we expected from a property like this - very tasty, served in a great setting, and with excellent professional service. It's definitely worth a visit, especially now that the gardens are looking so beautiful. We would love to stay at the hotel once we've saved up a bit, even though it's not the most affordable option. Judging by the downstairs area and where we had our tea, it would be well worth the cost."

"Whilst everybody seems to rave about Mark Hix and his London priced mediocre food and badly kept beer, they have lost sight of the fact that in his short tenure, he has destroyed one of the best village pubs in Dorset. To those who say that it's the best meal they ever had, I would say Living on a diet of junk food and takeaways doesn't necessarily make you a good judge of culinary standards. Shame on you Mark Hix."
