The Marquis of Lorne

What guests think

Travellers describe The Marquis of Lorne as a welcoming rural inn with consistently excellent food and standout breakfasts, friendly staff, and a peaceful setting, with several noting scenic views and a relaxing atmosphere away from busy towns.

The rural location appeals to many, though several reviews note narrow, single-track lanes that can make access feel challenging. Rooms are generally comfortable, but a few guests found them small or dark, and there are occasional remarks about small or uncomfortable beds. A couple of reviewers mention the bar being closed in the afternoon, which can feel restrictive. Overall, expect a quiet countryside stay with character.

This is a lovely quaint country pub with a lovely pub garden and grounds. Very nice room - may be small for some given the nature of the old building. Breakfast good. Although only 10 minutes from Bridport it feels out of the way as down very narrow windy country lanes.

A quaint, charming little pub with rooms to stay. We booked our stay after a helicopter ride. Tracey and her team were welcoming and friendly. Our room was clean and had everything you would expect with the added bonus of homemade cookies to go with your complementary tea or coffee, there was a small fridge where you could fill your little milk jug with fresh milk (which was better than the little milk pods), you had toiletries in the bathroom so you could just turn up and really enjoy your stay. We reserved a table at the restaurant as we were a party of four, we had a drink outside in the sun which was enjoyable and then sat inside for our meal. The menu is varied with so much choice for all three courses, there was so much to choose from and we were totally spoilt for choice!!! Really impressed with the food and quality of food... The breakfast the following day again was superb...fresh fruit, cereal, yogurt toast, fresh orange juice and a home cooked breakfast....it really did set you up for the day!!! To sum it up a lovely time was had by all of us. I would recommend highly a stay here for the night or a visit to sample the excellent food and service. Wish we had a local pub like this we would be over the moon, you rarely find such fantastic food, choices and service in a beautiful surrounding.. to get all three is rare.... Thank you for making our stay so delightful.

If you fancy a comfortable, clean and friendly Dorset inn with the best of breakfasts and delicious high quality meals, book in at The Marquis of Lorne. Surrounded by wonderful views, walking paths and close to the sea. Great for relaxing without children, also great for young families - an excellent garden play area.

Lovely rural Dorset pub. Excellent food, locally sourced. Staff very friendly. It is very rural, and that is its charm. Do be prepared for high hedgerows and single track roads but worth it when you get there.

We like the location very much. We were out both evenings, so we didn’t experience the pub itself, which was a shame. The bedroom was a bit dark. The mattress was not comfortable, with a bit of a ridge in the middle! That is different to the classic old mattress with a gulley in the middle! Breakfast was excellent. We really liked the landlady, who couldn’t have done more for us.

The room was really nice with a comfortable bed and great view, and a tasty breakfast was included the next day. We would highly recommend staying if you're in the area, the location is fantastic and though we were only there for a short visit we hope to come back some day to spend some more time exploring the area!
