Positive Reviews
positive:
Pub noise doesn't affect rooms
One of The Saxon Inn's beloved features is that there's ample insulation between the rooms and the pub. Noise doesn't affect relaxation and quiet, so guests can enjoy themselves no matter how late events go, or how many patrons are there. The pub itself is another benefit of staying here, as its full of architectural character, and a nice opportunity to really get a feel for the Dorset area.
positive:
Great staff and warm ambience
Staff are quite personable, easy to approach, and promptly attentive. They maintain a nice level of checking to make sure you have everything to your liking, but without being overbearing or intrusive. Their friendliness is an extension of the inn's entire atmosphere, which delivers a warm and welcoming energy for guests and locals to socialise and unwind.
positive:
Lovely clean rooms that you don't want to leave
Rooms are spotless at check-in and kept just as clean throughout your stay. The furnishings are quaint and unique with the reclaimed wood details, and space is ample. The overall essence is so great that the only downside to staying here is that it creates a reluctance to leave! On the plus side, though, this kind of attention and experience inspires many a return.
