What could be better than staying at a pub or inn? Filled with history, cosy log fires, oak beams, and a welcoming, cheery ambience, make sure you choose one of Dorset’s watering holes for your next holiday.
Staying at one of our pubs is a great way to soak up the local atmosphere and enjoy a little piece of the area's cultural heritage. And not forgetting their tasty menus and local wine, beers and ciders.
A welcoming and traditional feature of the landscape for travellers over the centuries, Dorset pubs provide a wonderful stay for those looking for accommodation full of character and history.
You could be staying at a pub where Beatrix Potter was inspired to write “The Tale of Little Pig Robinson”, an inn with centuries of history within its walls or even a secret smuggling haunt.
If you’re looking for something really unique, you’ll find it here in Dorset. Well, where else in the country can you taste the authentic flavours of the Caribbean under a thatched roof of a hostelry dating back to the 14th Century?!
Although many Dorset inns have retained their ancient features, we know that in today’s world, a little touch of modern doesn’t go a miss.
That’s why you’ll find some pubs and inns in Dorset that are refurbished to the highest of standards with boutique bedrooms, flat screen TVs, fine dining and even swimming pools.
But, aside from this, we all know the very best part of staying at an inn is the short journey from the bar to your room at the end of a wonderful night enjoyed sampling the local ales and sumptuous cuisine!
