The Wise Man Inn is set in the heart of Thomas Hardy county, a short distance from Hardy's Cottage, which is well worth a visit during your time in Dorset. 

Its 'rustic gastro cuisine' includes British and international dishes with a twist, that change with the seasons. Diners can expect to find dishes such as pan-roasted pork tenderloin or chicken parmigiana with truffle gnocchi. 

Situated on the cliff tops of the South West Coast Path, just outside the village of Osmington, the Smugglers Inn is a traditional English pub with stunning views overlooking the Isle of Portland.

Steeped in history, the Inn was the headquarters of the French smuggler Pierre Latour and one of the main landing places for smuggled goods in the 17th century.

With a beautiful garden for summer, as well as roaring log fires and oak beams inside for the longer and colder winter nights, the Smugglers can be truly enjoyed all year round.

The Sailor's Return is a country pub packed with character and nooks and crannies to explore. This hidden gem is tucked away in the village of Chaldon Herring (also known as East Chaldon), just a few miles from Durdle Door. 

Boasting a selection of local ales and ciders on tap, it's the menu where The Sailor's Return lives up to the highly-praised reviews. Diners can tuck into tasty tapas or sample hearty traditional main meals. 

Dating back to 1660, The Castle Inn is one of the oldest inns in Dorset and only a short distance from the famous Lulworth Cave. From the terraced garden or large courtyard, you can enjoy stunning views of the county when the sun is shining. 

The Castle Inn's menu is brimming with locally sourced produce, plus the bar also serves a selection of award-winning Butcombe beers, ciders and classic cocktails. 

The Thimble Inn is a historic and award-winning thatched 18th-century pub in the picturesque village of Piddle Valley, a short drive from Dorchester. The Inn creates innovative seasonal dishes, focusing on the best Dorset produce, suitable for all dietary needs. 

The pub is not only dog-friendly but also features two beautiful gardens with scenic views of the Piddle Valley. With regular live music, quizzes and a selection of award-winning local real ales from Palmers Brewery, this is the perfect spot for both locals and visitors alike. 

Situated in a breath-taking part of Dorset, looking out over Chesil Beach. The Crab House Cafe has its own Portland Oyster beds just a stones-throw from the restaurant, meaning you can enjoy fresh oysters within minutes of them leaving the water.

Other than their popular crab boards, the menu features delicious fish and seafood recipes, all from produce landed within 40 miles.

Nuzzled on the edge of the Isle of Purbeck, Shell Bay overlooks the stunning Brownsea Island and waters of Poole Harbour and Sandbanks. It started life as a shack and retains an appealingly rustic feel – and the terrace is a real hit come summer. Every table has a view and the twice daily menu showcases local seafood in a mix of modern and classic dishes. Booking highly recommended.
