Dorset Inn

Linda Boisselle

This was a lovely old inn, great service and the food was terrific. We decided to "escape" for our anniversary but only had one night to do it in. Everyone was very friendly and very accommodating, especially to our little "Max". It seemed the place to be on a Saturday night as the dining rooms and pub were full, food service was great.
