Detailed Reviews
Stayed the weekend here and loved every minute. The accommodation has been sympathetically refurbished to provide a high-quality, clean and fresh experience without detracting from the rustic charm of the location.
The food was excellent, even the coeliac in our party was well catered for.
The hosts were very approachable and accommodating with nothing being too much trouble.
Throughly recommended for a relaxing few days away, they even takes dogs in the shepherds hut.
They even tried to undercharge us when we checked out 😄

We stayed at the this Inn for just one night on our way to Devon. On arrival we were greeted by Alan and Cheryl who showed us our very comfy room, tea and coffee, water, fridge for milk, good sized batnroom and HUGE bed!
The room was great, quiet and spacious.
In the evening we ate in the restaurant which had a good menu, not extensive but what there was catered for most tastes. Good tasty food.
We had a drink up in the garden behind the Inn which was lovely on a warm evening.
The meal was lovely, service friendly by Alan and Cheryl.
Breakfast was served in a light airy room, made very homely by photos and pictures of dogs and family.
Great choice, full English, cereals, fruits, yoghurts - whatever you wish.
I would stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a break on their way to the coast. The Mitre Inn is in a hidden vally in a very quiet village, popular with locals and it hasn't gone the gastropub route which keeps it traditional.
I would say there were no complimentary toiletries in the bathroom, not a big issue, they may have been in a cupboard? I didn't realise until the morning otherwise I would have asked.

The Mitre has stepped up to the mark during the lockdown and are delivering food cooked in the pub. Tonight's main course was an intensely flavoured fish pie with a rich and warming sauce. Lovely vegetables too. A very welcoming two pint carton of draught ale was also on the doorstep (when did you last taste draught?). Great work Cheryl and Allen and team. Keep up the good work.

We stayed in the Shepherd's Hut which was so comfortable, lovely decor, warm with a cosy wood burner and fully functioning bathroom with great shower. Separate from the pub, so really peaceful with beautiful views and really private though just a very short walk to the pub to enjoy wonderful ales and home made delicious food. Cheryl and Allen made us so welcome and we enjoyed fabulous service throughout our stay. Nothing is too much trouble and they really want to make sure you are enjoying yourselves and have everything you need. Great location for walking and cycling in beautiful countryside. We can't wait to return!

This was our second stay (last one two years ago) at this Inn and there has been a change of owner this year.
This made no difference to the friendliness and quality of stay. The room was a good size with a decent shower en suite bathroom, tea and coffee (with fresh milk) was provided ( a big plus for me).
The evening menu was very good, perhaps there could be some more specials, but what we had was tasty.
After a decent night's sleep, a good breakfast. It was very nice and the only thng I would say would be give the guests a menu to choose what they would like. A choice of cereals or fruit might be a nice addition.
Without a menu, it is awkward when asked "what would you like" (maybe this is just me??)
Apart from that there were no complaints. The new owners were/are very friendly and obviously are making their mark with the inn. There could be changes planned.
I would recommend this Inn to anyone travelling down to the coast through Dorset. It is very good value and very comfortable.

This was our local while staying in the area, and we couldn't have wished for better! We visited with our two boys (10 and 8) and our dog, and were given such a lovely welcome. The food was fantastic - we enjoyed wagyu burgers, ham and chips, beef and ragu, and the Sunday roast beef dinners we had were frankly the stuff of dreams. Everything was perfect from start to finish, and the hosts are such lovely people too. We can't wait to be back to visit again in future.
If you ever find yourself thinking about a perfect Sunday pub roast (I do), the Mitre Inn is the place you'll find it.

Stayed here end of April for 2 nights, lovely little pub. Greeted by Cheryl and Alan who were very friendly.
Our room was lovely and very homely - with tea, coffee and water all provided. Nice little touches.
We ate downstairs in the restaurants as if you are staying there the meals are £10 each only. Gorgeous home cooked food and of a very good quality.
Lovely to wake up to sheep baaing in the surrounding fields. Just a very peaceful location.. Breakfast very plentiful and i would imagine locally sourced.
Would definitely recommend and very very reasonable.

Myself and my parents stayed here form the 5th July 2020 for a few nights as they were moving to the area. Cheryl and Alan are fantastic hosts, nothing to much trouble and always a friendly smile.
The food and service was great, freshly cooked, well presented and full of flavour, Lamb shank I had was great.
Rooms are fresh and clean, beds are comfortable, much better than some of the main stream hotels I have to stay in for work.
I wish both of them and the team all the best as they emerge into the new normal and I am sure I will be back for a weekend.

Spent a lovely week at Mitre Inn’s shepherds hut with my dog from 14th to 21st August 2021.
The shepherds hut was very well equipped, quiet and in a lovely location. The breakfasts were fabulous and the hosts couldn’t do enough for you.
The Mitre Inn itself offered a very good variety of beers, ciders, wines and spirits and the menu offered something for everyone.
Highly recommended

Not much to say other than a great country pub offering cheap but clean accommodation in excellent surroundings. Staff are 2nd to none and the home cooked food was superb. The bat area is dog friendly however dogs are not allowed in the rooms which is a shame
