The location was excellent in relation to the town and all amenities and the pub itself had great grub on the evening and a nice atmosphere. The rooms were clean and aired out and the staff were wonderfully welcoming.

There was no car parking at all except for a pay and display down the road, I couldn't find anything to state this before going so it would be nice to mention it when booking. The rooms were very basic in some respects which I think let it down slightly but it was still brilliant value for money.

Nice clean rooms, great hosts being very helpful. We had the room above the main bar on a weekend so could hear the music and fun below from the room but that was expected. We had parking very close by on the main road which was easy. In all very good and would return for sure with no hesitation. Thanks

Kettle could do with descaling and a water supply for teas and coffee as couldn’t fill the kettle up from using the sink very easy.maybe supply with jag of water . 😃

The Sydney Arms is located within short walking distance from train stations and town centre, however it is right next to Dorset Hospital which is reason we stayed there over the Christmas period. The owners and Staff were excellent could not do enough for us. Room was a good size with all the amenities expected.

As room above a pub it can be a little noisy when punters are leaving, however it did not last long and would not stop us from staying there again.

It was cheap and cheerful. Room over a pub. Booked in, downstairs for a drink and food. They let me park my motorcycle at the back. Room was old but clean. Nothing fancy, but all I wanted. Ideal for Tankfest, McDonalds just a mile away for breakfast!

Free WiFi, but didn’t quite reach my room.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating . The bed was comfy. Nice clean carpet in my room . Could have done with some little toiletries, as I was only there one night just passing through.

Room could have done with proper clean cobwebs on the ceiling. Overall I enjoyed my stay

Good location. Made to feel very welcome.

Meeting the manager who had just taken over, she said there is some work to be done. So yes, definitely needs a tidy up. But other than that everything is all good

Room was boiling hot. No air conditioning and It was very hot weather, but if the curtains had been drawn preventing the sun shining in it might have been cooler. Booking.com indicates there is parking on site. There is not!
