The Ilchester Arms - West Dorset

Spent a lovely stopover at the Ilchester Arms, Abbotsbury. Yes, the rooms are tired could do with upgrading however, our was comfortable, clean quiet with a huge TV. Ideal for a stopover. Food in the pub was very nice staff very helpful friendly. Ticked all the boxes for us at a good price with breakfast too. Rooms: 4 Service: 5

An incredibly affordable place! Friendly staff. Good food. Clean in the room. The place is NOT newly built but it has charm and authenticity and I have nothing to complain about. Will stay there more times! Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 4

Had a lovely meal here last night, will be going back when in the area again

Worst pub I've experienced on my World Record attempt so far! Asked if I could buy a drink charge up using the plugs. To which the Landlady said yes. Got charged an extortionate £5.50 for one pint. The wifi was so bad I couldn't get any work done didn't bother using it. Areas of the pub were closed off and buckets in other areas catching rain water through leaks everywhere. Constantly heard the landlady moaning about other customers. Was in there for about an hour and went to the toilet, to come back and find she'd turned the plug off without even talking about it or making me aware it was an issue, especiallygiven she'd already said it was ok. If she had I would have happily paid. But just went about being a snake about it.
