Sheaf of arrows Sheaf of Arrows

Guesthouse

1night stopover, breakfast included. Had whiteboard starter and braised pork belly for evening meal. All food excellent. Bedroom had all basic amenities and very comfortable bed. Staff friendly and efficient. Very good value for money.

Great pub… nice homely feel. Not posh or trying to be fancy. Just a good old fashioned pub with good homely food and rooms to let.

The Sheaf of Arrows was the venue for my birthday evening meal. I uncharacteristically, having seen someone else's, chose their beer battered fish and chips, which was absolutely delicious.

Nice friendly pub. Room was good value for mobey. Quiet location.

Lovely pub, friendly staff who are very welcoming. A fab kids corner to keep the kids amused. Food is also amazing! Good value for money!

We couldn't sleep because it was too noisy (air cooler, bell tower right in front if the b&b) but if you get a room in the back it will be better. Food is ok, beer is good and breakfast is very good.

A rare country pub, with traditional food. The Sheaf of Arrows is certainly a pub for local folk. Having said that, a warm welcome and smiles are freely given upon entry. In a day of of pubs offering more up market menus, it was refreshing to see traditional pub food. Cajun beef was my choice for this evening, which was delightfully presented. Taste wise, I felt it was missing a bit of oomf, a tad more spice and sauce would of been appreciated. Having said that, the value was certainly unbeatable. The menu as a whole, offerers a wide variety of dishes, although could be considered limiting for vegetarians. If you’re vegan, I’d say your choice is even more limited. What does make for a welcome change is the ability to bring pets in. This may not be for everyone, but it’s lovely to see our 4 legged friends being allowed in. The drinks menu, offers a great variety of local ales and a relatively broad choice of wines. The Sixpenny Gold is a personal favourite of mine. Cranborne is a relatively affluent area and offers a great choice of pubs or restaurants. There really is something for everyone. The decor of the pub is clean, although some of the furniture felt a bit tired. A lick of varnish wouldn’t go amiss.

Warm, friendly staff, good selection of meals with specials, and on tap options. Also loved the salt and vinegar crisps. Reminded me of home. I would be happy bringing all family members and friends here, young and experienced.

The food was lovely and the staff are fabulous. We had a meal for four and they offer GF options and are able to adapt recipes to meet your needs with no fuss. They have a pool table and 2 dart boards which made it a really relaxing evening, add the jukebox and it was fabulous! I put on some 80's music and felt in my element. They offer accommodation and it is so reasonably priced that I would assume it will be booked up quickly.

Food and service is always really good here and there's a really cosy atmosphere. We were in the function room at the back and it was very private. The only downside is the location as parking isn't brilliant and there's no phone signal.

Very friendly staff. Fantastic food. Comfortable bed. Handy for walking holidays. Well worth a visit.

Friendly environment with a great food selection including veggie and vegan options. A great time, thank you!

Did not stay here but had a very pleasant lunch in a warm and friendly pub.

Awful, can find nothing to recomend it, the place was dirty and greasy. The shower was falling apart and they even ruined an English breakfast days running. Dont go there.

Only went in for drinks but staff were very friendly and our dogs were made very welcome. Had a great game of Backgammon whilst drinking, there were several games for all ages.

Great pub with reasonably priced food and lovely staff. Food is excellent too.

Lovely village pub, good prices and nice food.

60 chorusters hit them by storm. The poor staff worked so hard that night.

Good village pub with good pub food and beer.

Very friendly staff, nice pub courtyard to sit out in.

Helpful and very friendly pub. Fitted in 24 of us on Friday as a late booking (over a couple of sittings). Wow, great food, very ample servings and very good quality. We all went away happy! THANKS SO MUCH.

A real characterful local pub, with very reasonable prices and some decent food, well worth a visit. You won't go away hungry!

Nice location. Very friendly bar staff and great beer.

Very much a locals pub but very friendly and dog friendly too.

Had lunch. Decent cider. Excellent price. Friendly service. And a real country pub. Proper portions, good food.

We were staying accros the road and popped in here for dinner. The sheaf of arrows offer something that is sadly quite hard to find these days: honest, unpretentious, classic pub grub, done extremely well. The food was tasty, the portions large and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.
