A well known Dorset real ale venue, this award winning pub with its blue lias flagstone floors has a traditional public bar, and, through a separate door, a cosy lounge bar with a seating area plus a non smoking dining room to enjoy the excellent home cooking. 5 real ales include the 3 house beers - Branscombe Vale, Butcombe and Palmers IPA and 2 regularly changing guests with a focus on local micro breweries. 3 en-suite rooms planned by Summer 2004.
