“Fantastic hosts.”
+The couple that ran the Gamekeeper were fantastic, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Great breakfast, kept us going all day. Very clean room. Wi Fi not that good but we were right out in the country and the riverside setting was lovely. Would definitely return if in the area again.

“Made to feel very welcome”
+We only stayed the one night, and it was during the week when the kitchen wasn't open. Not an issue as we stopped for a meal on the way there. We were due to leave very early the next morning, and the owners went to every length to supply us with breakfast before leaving. Great atmosphere, and had a very pleasant evening in the bar with the owners. We could also take our two dogs in. Would definitely stay there again.

“Wrong time to stay.”
+We had a one night stay. Hoping for a quiet country pub that served an evening meal. However we were disappointed from the start. Staff did not know we were booked in when arrived, then shown to the wrong room, we had booked a superior room. There was a wedding party taking place so we were told no food was available in the evening. Asked could we have breakfast for an extra £7 pp on Sunday morning, told yes but only between 8 to 8.30 so passed on an early start. Ate in the Blue Raddler in Dorchester instead, can recommend. Returned to accommodation, we were locked out off the pub, and our room keys wouldn’t open the door member of the wedding party let us in. Thankfully the party music stopped before 11pm. Room was fairly clean, though there was dusty air vent next to toilet, noisy bathroom fan and mattress passed it’s best. Not a four star room and not exceptional.

“Friendly and welcoming”
+We had a very comfortable stay at the Gamekeeper. The owner Kim was very friendly and we enjoyed a lovely evening of lively banter with him and some others from the local community. We couldn’t have felt more welcome.
