Summary: A lovely night's stay. Excellent food in restaurant/bar. Friendly and attentive service by staff and owners. Comfy room with plenty of space. Perhaps lacking some of the character of some of the other rooms, but this was clear from the description when booking. Enjoyed strolling round the very picturesque village and old Abbey area of Cerne Abbas.
