A beautiful country pub, great atmosphere
We stayed in the shepherds hut in the garden and had a wonderful time. The location of the pub is just stunning.The garden is beautiful and the outside bar is amazing. Our host was very friendly, even with our grumpy dog.

Great value traditional country pub
Amazing country pub, warm welcome from Steve owner and buddy (dog). Clean room with comfortable bed and large shower room. Currently renovating the kitchen but breakfast served up in the top garden. Breakfast made to order and was delicious. We ate there three nights fresh pizza made to order in pizza oven using some produce from well stocked organic garden. The regulars and staff were so welcoming for a small village.
Even met a kindered spirit originally from cleckheaton (Nick) the gardener.
If you want a warm welcome with home comforts at a good price make The Mitre Inn Your next stop.
Until next year!!

What a find, a proper country pub with real beer, real people and great food. Add to that a suntrap of a garden and absolute peace through the night. Well done Steve, carry on doing what you are doing. Oh and did I mention the breakfast...?

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.

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.

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.
