En-suite rooms, though, at The New Inn feature 21st century requirements; colour Free View television, beverage making facilities, free Wi-Fi and hairdryer. This is an authentic local pub with accommodation, plus the bonus of free parking. Quiz nights, skittles and other pastimes, feature in an ongoing list of activities. There is a welcome fusion of full cooked breakfasts, daytime bar snacks and food menu, (including Sunday Lunch), with extensive drinks choices in the bar. Visitors are encouraged to join in and contribute towards the pub’s friendly appeal. Nearby attractions include Thomas Hardy’s cottage, Monkey World, Lulworth Castle, Chesil Beach and the region's prime resort, Weymouth.
Some may think it’s too quiet but, for most, it’s the opportunity to switch off, relax and enjoy great walking and sightseeing expeditions. The New Inn is a perfect accommodation base to return to at the end of a busy day - and there’s free parking, too.
The inn is steeped in history but the en-suite rooms are clean, comfortable and include all the essentials associated with modern day life.
Breakfast is perfect and substantial. Later dining, either with a bar snack or restaurant meal, is equally impressive, plus of course, the bar stocks all the drinks you could reasonably want. If staying over, don’t miss the Sunday Lunch!
Reception is poor in the rooms. Maybe it was installed when the place was built... centuries ago!
