A sixteenth-century thatched pub near Chesil Beach
The Crown Inn is a traditional 16th-century thatched pub located in the village of Puncknowle, five miles from Bridport and close to Chesil Beach. The historic inn provides a quiet retreat in the Dorset countryside for anyone looking to escape the busier towns. It offers a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a popular stop for walkers, families, and dog owners exploring the area.
Home-cooked food, valley views, and en-suite rooms
The pub serves a menu of home-cooked food made with local produce, which pairs with Palmers real ale, cider, or wine. Inside, guests can relax on large sofas by a roaring log fire or play traditional pub games. In the summer, the beer garden offers outdoor dining with views across the Bride Valley, making it a popular rest stop for cyclists riding the local routes.
For overnight visits, the inn provides comfortable en-suite accommodation, including a dog-friendly room option. The entire venue is pet-friendly, features plenty of parking, and includes disabled facilities to ensure an accessible country pub experience for everyone.
