A thirteenth-century historic inn in Cerne Abbas

The New Inn is a historic pub dating back to the 13th century, located in the village of Cerne Abbas at the heart of Thomas Hardy's Dorset landscape. The building is full of old-world character, offering an authentic countryside atmosphere for visitors exploring the historic area. It serves as a central gathering place for residents and travellers, providing a cosy setting known for its quality food and hospitality.

Award-winning dining, twelve en-suite rooms, and a country garden

The restaurant serves award-winning food crafted from fresh, local ingredients, with a menu featuring traditional Dorset fare and innovative seasonal creations. A crackling log fire makes the bar area an inviting space to unwind on cooler days, with drinks including Palmers fine ale and a full wine list.

A spacious beer garden and decking area provide plenty of seating for open-air dining in the summer months. This entire outdoor space is dog friendly and serves as a regular stop for walkers to relax. For overnight stays, twelve en-suite bedrooms blend the building's historic character with modern comforts. The property also features on-site parking and disabled facilities to ensure full access for all visitors.
