We really enjoyed our stay . Steve was a lovely host and his breakfast was delicious. The kitchen is being replaced and renewed but we had a delicious homemade pizza one night and breakfast was served from the kitchen in the garden bar, beautiful scenery and so peaceful, it couldn’t be improved on.
Booked last minute for a trip with kids. Location was very convenient but do bear in mind it’s accessed via small country roads.
The staff were very welcoming and my boys were smitten with the dog, Buddy.
The main pub wasn’t open but the pizza’s were great. The garden is absolutely wonderful and we will definitely try to return and see how it matures.
Set in the beautiful hamlet of Sandford Orcas. Steven has created a lovely place to chill. Quiet,friendly,and nicely appointed, dogs are a bonus and great food. Lovely comfortable beds too. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
Iv stopped here a few times now and it's a lovely little quiet pub. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The owner Steve is a great host. The room are very clean and comfortable. The pub offers fantastic food, all homemade and the breakfast is one of the best iv had in any hotel. If your looking for a nice quiet place to stop for a few night in Dorset you must stay here.
We felt very welcomed and looked after during our stay, with our friendly host Steve and the tasty food a particular highlight. It was almost like staying as the guest of a friend :-)

Steve does a great job attending to the guests needs. Great find!
Beautiful surroundings, wonderful host and staff throughout. Comfortable stay with warm showers, large bed, clean and tidy. Good food in the evening too. The pub / hotel is sat within a very quiet and remote village.
An authentic village pub not pretending to be anything else. Basic menu well executed. Friendly, attentive but unobtrusive service.
The only downside was the unpleasant smell coming from our bathroom.
Arrived in the dark on a bitterly cold misty February night. Despite the fact that Steve had only just got out of hospital after a hip operation and clearly in pain, he did everything possible to make me welcome and comfortable. Rooms recently completely refurbished, well-pointed and warm. Great land scaping projects in the garden ready for the summer to make wonderful sitting out areas. The quintessentially simple cosy affordable Dorset Inn, log fire. stone floor simple decor, gumboots and pub labrador. Perfection.
The Mitre Inn is a great example of Ye Olde English Pub complete with what appears to be the original flagstone flooring. Nice log burner adds to the ambiance.
Steve, the host and his girlfriend are excellent and food was top along with great beers.
Had a great stay there and would recommend it.
What a lovely stopover in my busy business week. A proper country pub with great standard of accomodation. The evening meal was devine as was the included breakfast the next morning. Peaceful, quiet and wonderful hists. Cannot fault my stay and will be looking forward to staying again. Thanks again Andy
