Welcome
to this quality 16th Century coaching inn that Thomas Hardy called
'The Sow & Acorn' in 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles'. Set in the picturesque
West Dorset village of Evershot, this lovely old stone-built Inn
boasts worthy history. Originally known as The Kings Arms, it once
brewed its own ales with water drawn from the source of the River
Frome.
All the original
charm and character of 400 years exudes from the beamed bars and
log fires that greet guests on arrival. Nestling among the rolling
hills in an area of outstanding beauty and close to the British
Heritage Coastline, you have the perfect base for exploring or walking.
The ten en
suite bedrooms are individually decorated and have their own style
and character, each taking a name from Hardy's "Tess of the d'Urbervilles".
Well behaved dogs are very welcome!
Only the best
fresh local ingredients are used to produce excellent meals, in
either of the bars or the restaurant. The two oak-panelled bars
offer real ales, as well as a comprehensive wine list.
A skittle alley
also doubles as a function room for up to 60.
Managers Alex
Armstrong-Wilson and Jack Mackenzie look forward to welcoming you
to the Acorn Inn soon. |
