The New Inn is located in the attractive Dorset village of Cerne Abbas. The Inn's exterior and main rooms blended in well with the character of the village. The bedrooms were modern, compact and comfortable (excellent mattress), located around a courtyard with external seating, and a garden at the back of the Inn. The food and drinks menu were well-balanced, and the quality of both food and wine was outstanding; prices were acceptable, given the quality. The service was efficient, helpful and friendly. A very enjoyable stay.

Exceptional pub food with high quality local ingredients. The most lovely landlord and landlady who create a warm and peaceful atmosphere in their pub. They went out of their way to help us when our car broke down. The village is beautifully situated in the countryside.

There is very little that needs to be improved as the accommodation is of a very high standard. It’s obviously not a luxury hotel with the prices that would go with that. We had a spacious and very comfortable room. I personally would love softer down pillows but in my experience you don’t get them anywhere now.

We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. As if we had been staying there for years. You could not fault the food or drink. A wonderful menu, expertly cooked. It is place not only supported by passing trade but also by local people- often with a similar business of their own. A good testimony. Place is spotless. We shall be back....100%

The weather............

On arrival we had a very warm and welcoming greeting, which continued through out our stay. The food both lunchtime and evening was extremely enjoyable. The inside of the pub is very well laid out, with a log fire to making you feel warm and cosy. Breakfast was well cooked and again served with a smile along with local information in abundance. We will definitely return, to explore more of the area and take advantage of some more home cooked food.

Breakfast was superb. We had to 'book' a timeslot, but for our purposes this was ideal although I suggest maybe not so convenient for those wishing to relax & get away away from deadlines & timescales.

Nothing really. The New Inn was welcoming, full of olde worlde charm. The apartments were beautifully presented and modern. We returned for our evening meal each night. The food was beautifully cooked - a bit on the expensive side - but worth it.

Excellent choice for breakfast, well cooked and presented. Nice touch that owners contacted us before our stay to ask if we wanted to book an evening meal, probably necessary in high season. All staff were courteous and attentive without being intrusive. Lovely village setting, lots to see within. 5 to 10 minutes on foot, plenty of car parking at the rear of the property.

Evening meals were a little pricey, beers and wine more expensive that restaurants a few doors away

The breakfast was excellent. Our room was very comfortable with a proper wardrobe and a comfortable bed. We felt we had enough room. There was also a lovely view of the high street. It is an old building, so no air conditioning, however there was a fan, which helped. Off street parking was convenient and very well kept. There was an event on when we were there, so we went to another pub for lunch (The Giant) which was also good.

The stairs down are old and a little uneven, so a little tricky if you have to take care on stairs.

The food was wonderful - perfectly cooked and delicious. The staff could not have been nicer or more welcoming/accommodating. The location is idyllic, in a quiet village where time has stood still.

There was a lot of noise from other guests arriving back into their rooms late, and the noise from them went on in the rooms until after midnight. The noise insulation isn't good, and some rooms are above others, so the talking/laughing and music carries through. We were there at a quiet time, but it would be noisy in the summer........... The kitchen staff were standing smoking directly outside the kitchen, opposite the room. Not a great look.

The location is superb and central to the picturesque village of Cerne Abbas. The quality of the accommodation was excellent, featuring high quality furnishings and facilities. The room itself was clean and exceptionally well presented. The food and service in the restaurant at dinner were outstanding. This was more than just pub food. It is was restaurant quality, but in a lovely convivial atmosphere. Following dinner, expectations for breakfast were already high, and it didn't disappoint. Highly recommended.

Nothing

The staff were lovely. Very friendly and attentive and we felt welcomed. The pub itself was beautiful and loved the town of Cerne Abbas in general. Breakfast was also good.

The room was very dark and quite cold. I hadn’t realised we weren’t in the main pub building itself and instead in an outdoor extension behind the pub. We weren’t pre-warned about dinner bookings and we were told it was full when we arrived. That was a little disappointing. It was a nice pub and would return but not convinced it was worth £170.
