Atmospheric village inn with smart rooms and a cottage for self-caterers. Game from the local estate, dogs in the 17th-century bar

In a village with roses round every door is one of the finest inns in England, built by the father of modern archaeology (whose museum, the Pitt Rivers, is in Oxford). Today, attentive staff keep the atmosphere warm and happy. Bedrooms – big in the main house, smaller in the stables, all super smart – have cool colours, crisp linen, fancy bathrooms (and hi-tech gadgetry in most).

The big 17th-century bar has a period feel: flagstones, inglenook, fresh flowers and a fashionable mismatch of tables and chairs. There are cosy alcoves to hide in, a book-filled drawing room to browse and a smart white-raftered dining room. Interesting seasonal menus feature good food from West Country suppliers and include some surprises among the delicious pub classics. Breakfast is quite a feast and will sustain you on some wonderful walks.

Head to Win Green, the highest point in the Cranborne Chase, for panoramic views stretching to the sea.

The Museum Inn is set in the heart of the rolling Dorset downlands, an ideal base for exploring Dorset’s incredible Jurassic Coast, England’s only natural World Heritage site.
Local walks on Cranborne Chase AONB.
Chalkstream Fishing on nearby River Allen or River Nadder.
Rushmore, situated less than two miles away from The Museum, is an idyllic golf course. Spanning two counties (Dorset and Wiltshire), it is very picturesque due to its location in the heart of the Rushmore Estate on the Cranborne Chase.
Other attractions include Salisbury Cathedral, Longleat Safari, Durdle Door in Dorset, Sandbanks beach, Stourhead House and Gardens.
Our quirky private dining room, ‘The Shed’, makes a great space for any special occasion.
