10/10 Excellent

Booked last minute for a trip with kids. Location was very convenient but do bear in mind it’s accessed via small country roads. The staff were very welcoming and my boys were smitten with the dog, Buddy. The main pub wasn’t open but the pizza’s were great. The garden is absolutely wonderful and we will definitely try to return and see how it matures.

Best place in Dorset

Iv stopped here a few times now and it's a lovely little quiet pub. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The owner Steve is a great host. The room are very clean and comfortable. The pub offers fantastic food, all homemade and the breakfast is one of the best iv had in any hotel. If your looking for a nice quiet place to stop for a few night in Dorset you must stay here.

A great stay at The Mitre Inn.

We felt very welcomed and looked after during our stay, with our friendly host Steve and the tasty food a particular highlight. It was almost like staying as the guest of a friend :-)

MIDWEEK BREAK

Enjoyed stay.Hosts very hospitable and would do anything to help
Ian, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

An authentic village pub not pretending to be anything else. Basic menu well executed. Friendly, attentive but unobtrusive service. The only downside was the unpleasant smell coming from our bathroom.

A haven of peace in deepest Dorset

Arrived in the dark on a bitterly cold misty February night. Despite the fact that Steve had only just got out of hospital after a hip operation and clearly in pain, he did everything possible to make me welcome and comfortable. Rooms recently completely refurbished, well-pointed and warm. Great land scaping projects in the garden ready for the summer to make wonderful sitting out areas. The quintessentially simple cosy affordable Dorset Inn, log fire. stone floor simple decor, gumboots and pub labrador. Perfection.

Period charm

The Mitre Inn is a great example of Ye Olde English Pub complete with what appears to be the original flagstone flooring. Nice log burner adds to the ambiance. Steve, the host and his girlfriend are excellent and food was top along with great beers. Had a great stay there and would recommend it.

Up there with the best!

Run by a lovely friendly couple who couldn't be more accommodating. Set in an ancient village in a secluded location, a few miles north of Sherborne. Nice comfortable room and great food (the hake and dauphinoise potatoes are the best ever!). Plenty of space both indoors and outdoors for eating and drinking. Highly recommended.
Jeff, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a perfect stay here for us. It is situated in a very rural area near Sherborne. It is a popular pub with locals giving us an opportunity to meet and chat with them. The chef cooks lovely traditional pub food. The landlord could not have been more attentive and obliging.
