The 16th-century building provides historic charm in one of England's prettiest villages.

Free private parking and WiFi are available for guests.

Close proximity to landmarks like the Cerne Abbas Giant.

Family-friendly rooms with added touches like chocolate amenities.

Cons

Limited dining options during certain periods (Sunday roasts paused until mid-September).

“The New Inn strikes me as a properly comfortable base for exploring Dorset's heartland. I appreciate the little touches, like fresh milk and bike storage, and the food appears consistently excellent. Its rural setting and attentive staff complete the picture of a true countryside escape.”
