I went with 3 friends for an evening meal. Pleasant pub with 3 real ales. Very limited and expensive menu. In fact I have never been to a pub restaurant with such a poor choice. Starter of cappacio off venison was good, scallops average. Further starter of risotto as a main was tasteless. Main of " vegetable and brie Wellington"... More

Arrived with the family at 1.40pm to find a packed pub. All the tables were taken, but no problem as they opened the restaurant for us, normally only open at night, and we had an excellent lunch. Our two 11 year olds had pasta with Mediterranean vegetables and Muscles, we enjoyed Calves liver on mustard mash. Puds - treacle tart,... More

We stayed for 3 nights Saturday to Monday. The room was generous and comfortable, and very clean. Friendly and helpful staff, really welcoming. We ate at The Greyhound on 2 evenings - good mix of pub/restaurant style food, excellent standard. Quiet location in pretty village; lots of walks around.

The Greyhound inn is in a beautiful village of thatched cottages with a stream running through it. It really is an idyllic location. The room was spacious, clean and restful, the bed was very comfortable and felt very luxurious, the bathroom was modern with lovely shower gel etc. The inn is full of character with friendly staff and a good...

We had Sunday lunch here and will definitely be going back! The pub has been beautifully refurbished and we were greeted with a very warm welcome. The location is very picturesque. I had nut roast and my husband had roast beef, both were delicious and served with perfectly cooked veg and potatoes. Slightly more expensive than we would normally go... More

We stayed at The Greyhound between Christmas and New Year. It wasn't our first visit. My wife and I had visited previously and our memories of a small, friendly dining pub with comfortable guest rooms proved to be accurate. Sydling St Nicholas is a beautiful Dorset village situated along the banks of what may, or may not be, the River... More
