My daughter had chicken nuggets and chips - the nuggets looked good (not the usual freezer specials) and she enjoyed it. My wife had a jacket potato with prawns, but the potato was a little underdone. She asked for it to be microwaved for a couple more minutes, but the waitress returned stating the chef thinks it's fine. We pressed... More

Stayed here for a quiet weekend getaway and certainly was not disappointed, luckily the sun was shining so took advantage of The Anvil's wonderful garden, they have a delightful pond with 'love seats' beside it which was a lovely place to drink our wine whilst reading the papers.

Reading some of the negative trip advisor reviews I think I must have been in a different hotel, I am just glad I did not read them before I went as I would never have discovered this little... More

My wife myself and our labrador Ben stayed at The Anvil for 1 night whilst visiting The GDSF ( Great Dorset Steam Fair ) just up the road. Our room was more than adequate clean & comfortable with a recently refurbished en- suite shower, tea/coffee etc, we had a very plesant dinner served in the garden before returning to GDSF... More
