My wife and I have just stayed at the Acorn Inn (plus our brown and white border collie called Muddy!) and we had a simply great experience. Long walk on Saturday afternoon around the borers of Melbury House and via Melbury Osmond. We'd booked to have the tasting menu at Summer Lodge Hotel in the evening so a couple of... More

The bedroom I stayed in was a standard double and was clean and chintzily done up with a wall mounted TV, small cupboard and double bed. The bathroom was very... More
