Great pub for a drink and a game of pool. Dart boards and skittle alley and screens for sports. This alongside a landlord who's friendly and helpful make for a great pub to spend time in.

Quaint Inn on edge of beaminster, off the broadwindsor road. Still observing covid restrictions at time of visit. An excellent pint with basic food due to the current situation. At certain times when things improve live music will be available. Well worth a visit, friendly and sociable staff

A proper pub serving good beer in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere - primarily a local's bar but we've been made more than welcome on our trips over for a couple of years now. Can honestly say I can't remember ever leaving without having had a good laugh and chat. It's what pubs are all about (or should be).

Our first ever round at BWDGC, and I have to say that the course was fantastic. Spectacular views, some outstanding holes, especially the 6th, and it was in great condition. A very warm welcome from the staff on arrival and everybody could not have been friendlier. Everyone we spoke to during the day, including other golfers, made our visit most memorable. I would definitely recommend a trip to all golfers, and I hope to visit again someday.

First visit, very impressed with the facilities, loved the 6th hole and the course location on the coast. The stunning weather enhanced our experience. The only negative is the risk to the general public/walkers.

Warm welcome, fab breakfast and service (we’ll forget the coffee spillage lol). Great course in excellent condition, tight fairways with some challenging par 3s, the signature 8th is great! Greens ran well and are all challenging in various degrees. And what about the views. A gem of a course, for £30… bargain! Will return!

Fantastic course in lovely condition, great fun playing in the wind and spectacular views at almost every hole

Played it in early Oct., course was brilliant, ocean view on several of the holes, rolling hills, sheep & livestock in the backdrop. Course didn't really look that hard, but with the wind it sure did play that way. Lots of deep rough to avoid, a few stone walls to avoid, greens were in good condition. Will definitely want to play again when back over next year. Worth the trip.

Came for a leisurely coffee but ended up treating myself to the Rarebit! It was DELICIOUS! 😋 The only negative thing was there wasn't more of the tasty side salad (so so good ) 😁 I am super happy to have found such a gem in a local area 🙌 Ps the service was so friendly - thank you

What a lovely cafe! We came in for a coffee and Dorset Apple Cake and ended up staying for lunch. Great atmosphere, wonderful service and the food is amazing!! We had the avocado rarebit which was brilliant - really tasty and served with a lovely salad and slaw. Definitely recommend; we'll definitely be coming back.

What a find! Great food, welcoming environment and team, dog friendly. Stayed in the area and this was our local. Settled in for the evening with decent beers and board games. It didn't disappoint. No food pics as it looked so delicious, we tucked straight in. Cheers lads.

Good food and a very comfortable dining experience. Service was excellent and food is always served freshly cooked. Plenty of seating outside with views across the whole valley. Great place to watch the sun go down. Dog friendly and a good children's menu. Recommended to book for an inside table or larger group.

Lovely location, very nice pub, friendly staff. We stopped off for a quick pint randomly but we're probably going to visit again after our break as the food looked very nice! I would definitely recommend it if you're in the area.

Just enjoyed the most delicious lunch here! Four of us plus 4 large damp dogs! The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The service was excellent and the food was absolutely fantastic! Compliments to the chef and thanks to Luke who looked after us so well! We will definitely return! A gem!

The location is absolutely stunning, with Golden Cap behind and a view down to the Isle of Portland. This place really is a treat, service is excellent but, it can get very, very busy and you may have to wait for seating. It is on the pricey side too, so as I said, it's a treat. Ask for extra salt on the Padron peppers and you won't be disappointed. Beers were in good condition. A great place to while away a warm summer's evening.

Wonderful spot down a country lane, nestled right on the beach. Great fresh local produce and friendly staff. I would love to stay one evening in their rooms and wake to the fabulous sea view

We came for a roast dinner on a rainy Sunday. The service was incredible. The food was delicious. The only problem was the portion size - barely enough meat on the plate to make a sandwich let alone a Sunday roast. Otherwise all good.

A good restaurant in a great location ! Market fish was the best choice on the menu! Extremely fresh and perfectly cooked, accompanied by fennel and good buttered bread. I must say I was a little disappointed with the bouillabaisse... A bit coarse for my French-educated palate... And the apple cake was as beautiful as amber but not very subtle and not rich enough in apples for my taste. The staff were extremely friendly, polite, smiling and efficient. Impeccable hygiene and one of the nicest toilets (perhaps not what you'd expect from a restaurant review, but how important it is! Particularly when you're on the road a lot, it's important that the place where you stop offers comfort in this respect too, and even better with a touch of aesthetics. I highly recomand 🩵

Me and my girlfriend came here for a dinner and had a great time. The food was amazing, the drinks somehow tasted better than other pubs I've been to and service was brilliant. We were served by an Australian girl and her partner and they were really lovely!

Stopped in for some food and found the pub very pleasant. Quite stylish inside with nice decor and lots of seating. Food was good although medium rare steak was over cooked. Well priced for food and drink and we'd visit again.

A surprise visit for lunch after a walk. Sunday roast was great and reasonably priced. Nice décore and good atmosphere, with friendly staff. Shame we live over an hour away or this would be a regular drop in. All 7 of us cleared our plates!!!

The Red Lion pub is a fantastic find. The owner is so friendly and welcoming, the food looks and tastes really good and they stock Powderkeg gluten free beer alongside beers from the brewery . This visit we had cheesy chips - best cheesy chips ever.

Popped into Cilla nd Camilla close to the closing time, however we need not have worried the staff were responsive and helpful so we were served before they closed. Its a bright little spot at the back of the shop with an external encloded area if the weather is good (wasnt for us so had to sit inside). They had very lovely looking cakes which we managed to resist but did go for one of the sandwiches which was tasty and very filling.

The food was freshly prepared, and as always delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful. I met three friends for lunch and afterwards we had a leisurely browse around the shop which has an amazing selection of things to buy, from clothes, candles, cushions, scented soaps, gifts and cards, to glass ware.

I dropped in mid this afternoon for a quick coffee after a lot of driving. Beaminster is a beautiful village, well kept, surrounded by green fields and a magnificent church tower, with a wonderful town square. I found this gem of a local gift shop and cafe during my adventure. The cafe is hidden away at the back of the shop. It opens up to a nice court yard with head height views of the surrounding hills. I was under a large umbrella (plenty of shade for a hot day, or rainy one). Very friendly staff and good service. I had an iced coffee and a very nice lemon cake (the last slice!). Lastly a few locals were there, nice community.

Just had a faultless meal at Brassica - there were 8 of us, a mixture of meat, pesces and veggies. The food was outstanding - something for everyone and arrived quickly. Vibe is very informal and friendly, we loved all the people who served us. We ate most of the things on the menu and every dish was exceptional. Can't wait to come again.

A solid 5/5 for us. Could not fault a thing. Tried both Spanish wines and the French rose at a £5 for small glass…you don’t need to spend more. Absolutely fab. Sign of a good restaurant is spot on house wine. Lovely service from all and my steak was melt in my mouth. We will be back. Thank you all !
