The Acorn Inn

Our charming 16th-century coaching inn transports you to the pages of a Thomas Hardy novel. Featured in Tess of the d’Urbervilles, our atmospheric inn boasts old beams, oak panelling, roaring fires and an original skittle alley.

The beautiful rural setting in the heart of the Dorset countryside is complemented by our warm, attentive service and fine local cuisine.

We are delighted to be re-opening our doors once again from 17th May, and look forward to welcoming our guests with exceptional service and warm hospitality, alongside stringent safety and sanitation protocols to place our guests’ and teams’ wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.
