Family-Friendly Pubs & Inns in Dorset

Stop by one of our family-friendly pubs in Dorset, close to popular attractions like Lulworth Cove, the New Forest National Park, Durdle Door, Bindon Hill, and the Jurassic Coast, serving refreshing, award-winning Butcombe real ales, local ciders, and delicious classic pub meals.

The Avon Causeway in Christchurch

Enjoy a pint of proper Butcombe beer at the Avon Causeway pub, a converted 18th-century coaching inn. Take a break and soak up the sun in the pleasant beer garden, or warm up next to a crackling open fire indoors, perfect for winter months. Stay for a bite to eat at the restaurant serving locally-sourced produce, or stay for a little longer in the country-chic accommodation.

The Castle Inn in West Lulworth

Make your seaside staycation extra-special and stop by The Castle Inn for a pint. Whether you’re exploring the Jurassic Coast, visiting Lulworth Cove, Lulworth Castle, or Durdle Door, you deserve a break. Indulge with a refreshing pint of award-winning Butcombe beers, a glass of fine wine, or your favourite tipple, in the beautiful courtyard terrace, or cosy up inside the 16th-century inn with a delicious, locally-sourced classic pub meal.

The Fish Inn in Ringwood

Whether you’re looking for a quick pit-stop while exploring the New Forest, or you need a longer break to catch your breath after trekking across the Hampshire countryside, pop into The Fish Inn in Ringwood for a pint and a classic pub dish. From refreshing IPAs to rich stouts, you’ll find the Butcombe pint for you at The Fish Inn.

The Museum Inn in Blandford Forum

For a refreshing pint, quick bite, or a more substantial pub meal, visit The Museum Inn. When you’re exhausted after exploring the rugged landscape of Cranborne Chase, stopping for a snack near the New Forest National Park or preparing for an afternoon walk in the Dorset or Hampshire countryside, The Museum Inn is the perfect place to take a break. Indulge with a hand-pulled Butcombe beer, tasty bar snack, or your favourite hearty classic dish in the heart of the Dorset downlands.
