"The Museum Inn, located in Farnham, Nr. Blandford Forum, Dorset, DT11 8DE We booked late on Friday night and only one room was available so it was meant to be! We arrived around 5pm and were greeted by friendly staff, shown to our room The Catch and made a reservation for dinner, luckily they still had spaces for dinner but it is advised to book in advance. Lovely spacious room and bathroom, kettle, teas, coffees and bottled water supplied. I have to say I fell in love with the hand wash and hand cream, I have already purchased some for home, the brand is called Bramley and the scent is Lavender, Geranium and Petitgrain. The bed is probably the most comfortable we have ever slept in that is not our own, soft feather pillows that were just right! Dinner was a three course meal and it was delicious, we took 2 hours to eat but never felt rushed or like we were waiting too long between courses. Starters: Ham hock terrine with sourdough toast and Prawn, potato and crayfish fishcakes. Mains: Burger and Steak Ale pie Desserts: Chocolate Brownie with cherry sorbet. Biscoff donuts with pumpkin pie ice cream Drinks: Poretti lager and Cherry cocktail. Breakfast: Eggs Royale and Smashed avocado, poached egg and bacon, absolutely scrumilicious! Big thanks to Amanda who served us this morning and checked us out. Highly recommend staying and eating here and we will 100% be back again! Safe travels! The Allsebrooks x"

"We were really looking forward to trying out this restaurant with our friends as most of the reviews on here are great, however we will never be returning to this restaurant. The food was awful so we let the staff know and said sorry but we cannot eat the curry as it was way too sweet and had no other flavour or spice in it. The staff member started accusing us of ordering the wrong thing on the menu and not reading it properly and got very defensive instead of saying sorry and offering to fix the problem. He was saying we should have told them how we wanted it first before ordering, but we always order the same curry at every restaurant we go to and have never had one as terrible as this. The staff member continued to argue with us in front of the other diners in the restaurant, which was embarrassing and the worst customer service I have ever experienced. If we had an apology and offered an alternative straight away it wouldn't have been a problem and we may have returned but as the customer service was awful I will never be returning. WARNING to anyone going to this restaurant if you have a problem with your food get ready for a loud abusive argument in the restaurant in front of everyone!!! It was a traumatising experience and the staff member who was yelling at us should be ashamed of himself! They did take my curry off the bill in the end, but that was only after a huge argument and was too little too late!"
