Interesting old pub in historic Cerne Abbas. Restaurant and bar are excellent. Food is prepared well and served hot! Our room was tiny. It had an old bed with an uncomfortable mattress that should be replaced. Pillows were not great. Heating was on a timer, so it was cold when we arrived and came on when at dinner. Heating was not operating in the morning.
Beautiful apartment to stay in with lovely welcoming touches.
The food in the restaurant was of a really high quality and all team members were friendly and welcoming.
Love, love, love this inn. Amazing property in a beautiful village. Lots of great, easy walking spots. There is a bus from Dorchester station that takes you to a stop right next to the inn. YES!!
Also, the food and drinks at the inn are a homerun plus. Love, love, love this place.
Fabulous place in idyllic village. We cannot fault The New Inn. Room was very clean and comfortable. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Food is amazing. We’ll definitely be going back.
The room was beautifully appointed, modern within a heritage building. There were lots of fresh milk and decent coffee bags available. The adjacemt pub was clean and tidy, the evening meal was great and breakfast was superb.
A lovely night's stay. Excellent food in restaurant/bar.
Friendly and attentive service by staff and owners.
Comfy room with plenty of space. Perhaps lacking some of the character of some of the other rooms, but this was clear from the description when booking.
Enjoyed strolling round the very picturesque village and old Abbey area of Cerne Abbas.
Beautiful hotel, very small car park so had to park on the road but alot of spaces so wasn’t a problem. Such warm welcome and honestly couldn’t do enough for you. Bed and room lovely and clean and so comfy. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to perfection. Definitely worth the 6 hour drive. Can’t wait to come back. All the people we met walking around are so lovely and friendly was such a breath of fresh air. Thank you
