“Rather disappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

We were rather disappoined in our room which was very dusty. The bathroom had one or two cracked tiles and there was a large chip in the bath. Behind the toilet there was a pipe that had been leaking and had left a rather nasty looking brown mark. the louvre windows in the bathroom were filthy and near the bathroom mirror in all rooms was a notice which read "due to ongoing maintenance the water quality cannot be guaranteed" What did this mean ? Under the circumstances a litre bottle of water would have been appreciated. The toiletries in the bathroom were generous. The electric kettle was dusty and there was water left in it, which I don't like! However, the hotel is not without charm but needs some money spent on it. I know that a building of that age eats money but some improvements like getting rid of damp patches would be good. It took 15 mins. for a member of staff to check us out!

A lovely atmosphere .Our second visit and it just gets better. The food ,wine,staff all make for a superb stay. It's in the country but it's near everywhere so easy for Bournemouth,Ringwood etc. We were made most welcome .
Thank you Dennis & Sue.

“True English hospitality in a unique spot.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

We enjoyed a fabulous stay between October 14 and October 16, 2011 at this tremendous English country inn. Sara and Mark the owners could not have been more welcoming or the staff more helpful. The food was excellent and the locals in the bar were a friendly bunch. It proved a brilliant base for visits to Studland - Corfe Castle what a stunning place, Portland Bill is etched in my mind forever and the emotional impact of our visit to Tyneham village will remain with me for many a day.Tyrrells Ford has an amazing guest lounge with a staircase straight from a film set and a library packed with books,and games. I am a Scot and was utterly entranced by this truly English country inn. Will we be back - you bet!!

“Friendly must visit !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here May Bank Holiday when we suddenly decided we would grab a short break over the bank holiday. We struggled to find accomodation as per usual we were late booking, and came across Tyrrells Ford on the internet. How pleased we were that others were fully booked, enabling to fall upon this lovely old inn.
Mark and Sara were the most wonderful friendly hosts. The food was delicious and good value, the hotel was full of character, the locals were very friendly and we were able to find out lots of local information should we have needed it.
We were able to visit Mudeford one day with a lovely meal to eat in the hotel (I had the best fish pie I have ever eaten !) with relaxing drink on the Saturday and cycling in Burley on the Sunday with the most wonderful Sunday dinner when we got back.
You really must visit this place and meet with Mark and Sara. We wish them all the best with their future in this wonderful hotel and hopefully we will get to visit again at some stage. The winter would be lovely I'm sure with the log fires aglow, reading a newspaper in the library area. Its a fabulous place to just chill. Wonderful find for us and you also, if you like the character of a country inn, wonderful food, and friendly staff.
