Situated in Evershot, 27 km from Golden Cap, The Acorn Inn features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a bowling alley. The property is non-smoking and is set 44 km from Monkey World. The Inn is just beautiful - the quintessential English pub in a gorgeous village. The staff were all extremely friendly, check-in was easy and the room- described as snug - was indeed snug but very well designed. The bed was comfortable and from the homemade oaty biscuits to the cute bottle of local milk, it was all lovely. However, the stand out feature was the incredible food at dinner. Not only was it beautifully presented with stunning garnishes from their own garden but the dishes were thoughtful, original and totally delicious! Highly recommended all round!

A 25-minute drive from Dorchester and Blandford Forum, The Fox Inn is a pretty inn in the Dorset countryside. This dog-friendly property has free parking and WiFi, and a full English breakfast is served in the garden room.

The Fox Inn is around 16 miles from historic Shaftesbury, and 20 miles from Yeovil in neighbouring Somerset. The coastal towns of Poole and Weymouth can both be reached by car in around 35 minutes. The Fox Inn is a very peaceful hotel located in a beautiful region. We were there for our daughter's graduation party at a nearby school. I've stayed there several times before. The rooms are spacious and cozy, the staff is attentive, and the restaurant is excellent.
