"Lovely rural Dorset pub. Excellent food, locally sourced. Staff very friendly. It is very rural, and that is its charm. Do be prepared for high hedgerows and single track roads but worth it when you get there."
"Great location for beach and harbour. Hyacinth (owner of hotel) and husband were really friendly and welcoming. Full English breakfast was good and recommended. "
"The Old Ship Inn is the perfect place to stay during our trip to Dorchester and surrounding area. It’s a gorgeous Inn tucked into a very special old pub. Our room was very clean, and the beds were super comfortable. We will be coming back here for sure. "
"Great room, friendly staff, lively pub/venue downstairs with live music, great location with very close walking distance to the harbour & only around a 10min walk from the beach, right opposite a JD Weatherspoons (if that's your kind of thing!).
I would happily stay there again 🙂!"
"A beautiful pub with stunning garden and setting, great food and beer selection. Staff are really helpful and attentive. Rooms are a little old but still very comfy and have everything you need. I stayed for business in the area but a great place for a holiday stop as well! "
"Beautiful spot and secluded, allowing for great walks along the cliffs, very hospitable staff, good food, welcome after a long treck, or to set us up nicely for the day with their great breakfast."

Top Abbotsbury Children's Farm Hotel Reviews
Fairhaven Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Lovely stay here, super location for the beach. Beds were comfortable & great internet access. Thanks for a lovely stay! "
"This was our second stay in this beautiful old manor house situated peacefully within a few minutes walking distance of West Bexington Beach. Once again we had a wonderful stay.
The food was very good. There is an excellent choice for breakfast, all of which was nicely cooked and presented. We also ate in the restaurant which was very good with a varied menu choice.
The bedrooms are a little tired in places but this in no way reflects the cleanliness of the room nor comfort of the mattress, duvet, pillows and linen. We had a sea view room which was just beautiful. Our room and the hotel in general is so very peaceful.
The grounds are exceptional with sea views and horses and sheep in the surrounding fields. We sat watching foxes and rabbits playing whilst drinking a G&T, just perfect.
The hotel is within a short driving distance of Abbotsbury and its attractions and also Lyme Regis etc is about a 30 minute drive away.
We will return one day for another peaceful and relaxing stay. The Manor House is very special. "
The Hide With Private Wood Fired Hot Tub. A truly romantic getaway on a Vineyard
10/10 Excellent
"This is my fourth time staying here, and I keep coming back for many reasons. The place is so peaceful and tucked away in a quiet corner of the vineyard — perfect for unwinding. Simon and Karen are fantastic hosts: they totally respect your privacy but are always around if you need anything, and they're genuinely lovely to spend time with.The wines are great too! There’s plenty to see and do in the area, plus lots of good places to eat if you feel like dining out.I don’t know what else to say — I wouldn’t keep returning if it wasn’t this good!"
"A lovely one night stay. The pub is in a quiet village location, close to lots of interesting places in beautiful Dorset countryside. Our room was large, with an equally large bathroom. We ate in the pub in the evening. The menu choice was good, prices reasonable and the food was excellent. We had our breakfast served outside in the garden and, again, this was tasty, hot and really enjoyable. Thoroughly recommended."
"The house and location was perfect for us, a family gathering where the downstairs bedroom and bathroom made things easy for my elderly parent. So wonderful to relax here!"
"Wonderful stay for a birthday celebration. The hotel is perfect for kids, it exceeded our expectations on every detail. A big thank you to Karen who was absolutely lovely and even got our toddler eating pasta when he was not listening to us!! We will be back. "
