The Best Restaurants in Abbotsbury, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

We recently had a delightful short break with our best friends. It was welcoming, and comfortable, with beautiful views, delicious food, friendly, helpful staff, and the whole atmosphere conducive to relaxation and allowing a recharging of the batteries. We arrived in thick fog and pouring rain which meant a quick change of our original plans. The management immediately arranged for us to take possession of our rooms four hours early, which to us was going the extra mile. Thank you so much to The Manor Hotel! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The weather improved dramatically and the whole stay was a great success!

Our experience was dinner which we enjoyed the first time to warrant a return visit two days later. We were staying close by not in the hotel. Luckily I had pre-booked as gets very busy especially Mondays. The service was excellent and Matt made us feel very welcome on both occasions. Good food, good atmosphere and a great view from the conservatory.

Hiked a loop from abbotsbury and stopped here for lunch. As it was the off season, many places were closed. We were so glad to find that the manor was open. I had a local Dorset crab linguine and it was honestly one of the best meals I've ever had. The crab was flavorful and plentiful and the whole dish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My husband enjoyed his aubergine platter as well. Beautiful spot, great service, highly recommend!

Had a light bite and drinks. Very nice. My 5 star review is really for Liz. She was extremely busy, single handedly running the bar, taking food orders, serving orders, clearing tables and taking payment. All this on her own, very unfair. But done with a lovely smile and friendly nature. Treat this woman well, she is worth her weight in gold.

Went for Sunday lunch, very nice and friendly. Nothing on the menu my son liked but the kitchen obliged by doing him burger and chips. Definitely worth the visit. 😄 👍

Easy to see from the main road. Parking out front. Accessible entrance and toilet with baby changing facilities. Very clean and good layout. Farmers shop and cafe. Staff helpful and friendly. Vegetables, local produce, oils. Very good quality.

Stopped when leaving Haven to go Devon. Was so glad there was a space for the motor home that’s 7.5m long (only room for one, in case you are travelling with one). Was the best breakfast I’ve had! So nice, shop was lovely to wonder around whilst breakfast was cooking. The staff were friendly and so accommodating. Food was so nice and deli items so enticing we couldn’t leave without taking another few bits with us for our trip. The quiche was absolutely delicious. Thank you! I would recommend a stop here to anyone for eating 😃

Excellent breakfast. Good quality. Efficient friendly service. Staying at The Kings Arms in Portesham and Duck's Farm Shop Café is where you have breakfast included in your room rate. Can thoroughly recommend it.👍
