Happily we were the only residents on the night we stayed, so we were offered the best room at no extra cost. Having eaten here before, we knew how good the food could be, but I would say that they have improved even further...........it was outstanding. They weren't busy, but it was a Tuesday in January, and the promotion that... More

We stayed at The Museum after a recommendation from a friend and it was wonderful! The food was delicious and was equally as good as our visit to the Chewton Glen the week before. The room was a delight with nice touches such as home made biscuits, high quality bathroom products and an amazingly comfortable bed It is quite pricey... More

So very disappointed the place has no atmosphere. Food was average no wow factor & trying to be top end, why don't these wonderful old places go back to good traditional honest food and leave it to the big boys! The staff were pleasant, barman looked as though everything was hard work, would not return as we have found this... More

I am posting a review because I am so disappointed with our stay at The Museum Inn.

Stay 8th October 2011 We... More

Really enjoyed the food at the Museum Inn, great pork belly! Good wine list too. The staff were all very friendly, welcoming and efficient and the room was at the better end of what you would expect. Not cheap, but nice. More

My partner decided to book this as a get away from the kids for one night away and what a find!!! We got lost on the way there and when we final drove up what a site I couldn't believe how quaint it looked. We received a warm and friendly welcome by the general manager (Jamie??) which was nice to... More

Talk about trading on your previous owner's hard won reputation - Vicky Elliot and Mark Stephenson built the Museum up from scratch into one of the foremost pub/hotels in the UK - two steps in looking for lunch and I suspected trouble - all the atmosphere had evaporated. The pub appeared to be full of elderly day-trippers from Poole chasing... More
