Lovely room, clean and spacious. Really good evening meal and great breakfast. Friendly staff.
Beautiful and comfortable country inn, with loads of charm. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, bed and pillows very comfortable and food amazing!
Would happily stay again!
Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Room had everything we needed, including a very comfy bed but was cold, even whilst we had both heaters on, and the bathroom was even colder. Also couldn't get any hot water from the basin tap.
Food good, especially the breakfast.
Fantastic stay here, enjoying gorgeous food in what was a beautiful location. The staff were especially brilliant and we really appreciated how caring and attentive they were.
This was the second time that we have stayed in this lovely old pub and our experience was just as good as on our first visit.
The food at both dinner and breakfast was excellent and the service from Matt and his team is as good as you’ll find any pub in the UK.
The village of Plush is charming but very small and rather remote so don’t any night life!
Very warm welcome, really good customer service. The rooms were spacious and well equipped, the tea, biscuits and Nespresso machine were very welcome. Food was excellent and the bar was very friendly. Cannot recommend enough, it is a pretty thatched pub in a very quiet hamlet.
This a delightful if very remote pub with a superb restaurant in a quintessential little Dorset village. Highly recommended for foreign tourists who want a genuine English pub experience.
Amazing little inn with delicious food, very comfortable and tastefully decorated rooms; the staff and owner are so friendly and helpful. Great location for walks
