Cosy and intimate, this family run cafe is an oasis of calm and an excellent place to recharge between the myriad gifting opportunities of Sturminster Newton’s high street. We came for the car show, headed in for a quick coffee, and felt such a warm welcome, we stayed for scones. Thank you for making us feel so at home.

As always, friendly, efficient and very welcoming. Comfortable sofas and easy chairs as well as tables and chairs for eating at. Some had been reserved in advance. Great decaf coffee (& lovely mince pies - thank you!) And the sun streaming through the conservatory roof - though cannot promise that every time!

We had a baby shower for my sister at The Cow Shed in their Barn area on Saturday, and it was perfect - everything we had hoped for! The staff were so helpful, both in the lead-up to the event and on the actual day. The barn itself is really picturesque, which was perfect for photos. We opted for a cream tea with both sweet and savory scones, and it was lovely. We paid per head for drinks, which guests could get from the private bar as and when they wished. There was plenty of room for games ect too. We couldn't recommend it more. We had the most special afternoon celebrating our new arrival with family and friends. A big thank you to The Cow Shed Team 🤍

Amazing food, Amazing ambience and Great service. There was no waiting time, even though the place was filled on a Wednesday morning 10am. Great bunch of ppl running the place. The cowshed breakfast was a delight. The hash browns was one of the best i have tried in UK. Overall, it is highly recommended.
Rating: 5 / 5
First visit to the restaurant. I was very impressed with our server, who suggested we could move to the adjacent barn where it would be leas noisy. He was right. It was😎. Food quality was excellent. Also, I was very impressed with the general cleanliness. Toilets were immaculate. I would definitely recommend this place. 👍

Had the pleasure of visiting here last Sunday we arrived just after 10 and there were already quite a few people here. Offered seating inside or out, we ordered coffees which were very good and then I chose the homemade granola bowl which was absolutely delicious (it was also huge!) my husband chose the Mexican open flatbread which looked amazing, which he said was really good. Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Visited this pub on Saturday evening. We were going for a meal and to watch the England rugby game. A quick call to the landlady before and she happily agreed to open a little early so we could watch the afternoon game too! We enjoyed a wonderfully warm reception, great atmosphere and a delicious burger and chips. Fabulous.

Gorgeous pub with fantastic beer and amazing landlords. They host fantastic events including live music and are a great asset to the Stourton Caundle community. The site is beautiful with an awesome beer garden and a lush glamping field surrounded by glorious nature. Thanks John and Debbie for all your hard work and help with our celebration. We loved every minute! Also, big shout out to the adorable dog called Dave X

We have been her twice in 6 months for a Sunday roast. Both meals were really rather excellent. The staff were welcoming and the place is clearly cared for and well thought out after its refurbishment. I wish I lived closer so I could visit weekly.

Delighted that this establishment has re opened. Visited today for lunch. Their pies are advertised as award winning and I can see why. First class food and very friendly and efficient service.

We sat outside in the garden on Sunday.I ate the Tavern stack which was all home made ,absolutely Delicious. My wife had Home made Vegetable Lasagne which was also Terrific .For pudding I had a piece of Tiffen with cream which was also to die for.All of which was expertly cooked and reasonably priced.The Service is incredible at all times even though they were short staffed at the time. We had no long waiting time as I expected because of the short staff problem.The Bull Tavern is a Family Run pub and other larger concerns could learn a lot from them.Welk Done Bull Tavern .The very next day we tried 1 of their charcuterie boards ,very very good.Also fantastic value for money

This is a classic country pub. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available. As a Hall and Woodhouse owned pub, the real ales are great and served in good condition. The staff are just wonderful and make the visit that all more special. The venue is cosy in the winter with numerous fire places to keep you warm.

The Blackmore Vale Inn

Rating: 4.3 (87) Price Level:
I went to play darts there last night, first time ever going in. The staff were friendly, and there was a nice relaxed atmosphere. I decided to try the Czech beer they had on tap, it was really quite nice. They do food although I didn't check the menu. The dart board is good although a little cramped with the low ceiling. They have a TV which I watched the women's World Cup match on. All in all I had a very pleasant night.

I arrived as a visitor from Plymouth to play at the Sunday afternoon folk session. I was immediately impressed with the warm welcome I received. The landlord was excellent at organising the venue shifting furniture etc at the same time providing cheerful banter. The real ale was wonderfully kept (I had a few tastings to check!). This would be a regular haunt if it were down the road but a little far from my home patch!

I can't speak highly enough of The Blackmore Vale. Every visit is met with exceptional levels of customer service that truly sets it apart. The staff are warm, welcoming, and always eager to make your experience memorable. The food and drink offerings are outstanding. From delicious meals to refreshing drinks, everything on the menu is crafted with care and bursting with flavour. It's clear that quality is a top priority here. Overall, The Blackmore Vale is a hidden gem that I would recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. You won't be disappointed!

the roast was lovely. I had a great roast partridge and my partner had beef. The landlord (Mark) was very welcoming. the bar is a "no mobile zone" so no one at the bar can use the phone. so very much like back in the days! staff were really helpful and friendly!

Great little pub a mate and I stumbled across, fantastic selection of beers and ciders. We haven’t eaten here yet but the menu looked excellent and the place had a great “Pub” feel to it. Will definitely be returning.

I stayed in the shepherds hut and I loved it. It’s cute, comfortable, clean and has everything you need for a little self catering stay. It’s set in the countryside with plenty of path walks around. I would stay here again for sure.

Came here today, after walking from our campsite at Graston Copse through Burton Bradstock village. A warm welcome by a member of staff & shown to our outside table for 4 with 3 dogs. Our waitress took our drinks order & returned after a few minutes to take our food order. She was very friendly and attentive, giving time for a chat despite being extremely busy. Wait for our food was minimal and when it arrived it was hot, tasty & well presented. Back ground music was pleasant, giving the Mediterranean feeling due to the sunshine. Wouldn't hesitate in returning if we are in the area again .... thank you.

Camping at Freshwater holiday park, a 20 minute walk to visit this gem of a place. Busy and bustling restaurant, great menu, food was outstanding and the service was great too. Dog friendly aswell, all in all, will definitely be returning soon.
Rating: 5 / 5
We arrived at 11.20, just in time to order breakfast. We were lucky to get the table on the edge of the 'tent' overlooking the beach. Despite being quite busy we received very efficient service. The food arrived within 15- 20 min, then our hot drinks. We had 3 x full English and egg Benedict on muffin with bacon. Everyone enjoyed it. The only nuisance were a few wasps but not a lot to spoil our experience.

This is a well loved beach cafe which has beautiful scenic views, it is very popular and rightly so. The menu is mainly fish and seafood dishes. However, they do a smashing full English breakfast up to 11.30 am. I will post pics. This dog friendly beach cafe has a carpark close by, but if you choose to walk along the cliff top path or the lower paths, you will walk within the most beautiful scenery. This is a totally table service venue, so once you are seated, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. Prices are reasonable.

Huge muscles in a nicely balanced blue cheese cream sauce. The fish chowder was also lovely, great tasting fish and fresh veg. We enjoyed on a wet and windy day, outside seating had heaters which warmed us up nicely. Would recommend after a walk.

Beautiful location. Staff were efficient friendly and helpful. Rooms were great everything worked as it should. The building is quite old so if your looking for chic this isn't it. The rooms were comfortable and warm with quality mattress and bed linen. Foid here was good and the service was great. Everyone was friendly. The area is pretty.
