The Fox Inn
About
The Fox Inn is a quintessential English country pub and bed & breakfast tucked into the green heart of Dorset’s countryside. With 12 cosy en‑suite rooms decorated in a contemporary country style, guests enjoy a comfortable stay that feels both homely and refined. The pub offers three dining areas – a lively bar, a sunny garden room, and a cosy restaurant – each featuring a changing menu that showcases local produce from nearby farms and distilleries. Whether you’re sipping a pint of a local craft beer in the garden or enjoying a full English breakfast in the kitchen, every dish is prepared from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The kitchen works from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, a Sunday roast and a la carte options. Rooms are dog‑friendly for a small fee and provide free Wi‑Fi, a flat‑screen TV, and an en‑suite shower. The Fox Inn’s relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff make it a welcoming base for exploring nearby Dorset sights or simply unwinding in the countryside. The venue is conveniently located within easy reach of the Atlantic coast, Dorchester’s historic sites, and a selection of walking trails, making it an ideal base for families, couples, solo travelers, and pet owners alike.
