The Acorn Inn - A 16th-century coaching inn with award-winning dining and rustic period charm
Featured in Thomas Hardy's 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles,' The Acorn Inn offers luxurious bed and breakfast accommodation in Dorset, blending modern conveniences with historic features like wooden beams, flagstone floors, and open fires. The ten individually decorated rooms, named after themes from Hardy's novels, include en-suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs with Sky and Freeview channels, tea and coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Guests at The Acorn Inn can enjoy a full English breakfast with locally sourced ingredients, while the award-winning restaurant serves dishes like Dorset lamb, beer-battered fish and chips, and Gressingham duck. The inn features a lounge with a fireplace, a garden, and a bar with a skittle alley. Located in Evershot, a village of grey stone and thatched roofs, The Acorn Inn is 20 minutes north of Dorchester and 70 km from Bournemouth. Nearby attractions include St. Osmund's Church (0.5 km) and Clay Pigeon Raceway (4 km). Guests also have access to the pool and spa at Summer Lodge, the inn's sister property.

The garden and bar with a skittle alley provide leisure options.

“This place has a lovely, cosy feel and a real sense of character, perfect for a relaxing winter escape. The staff shine with superb service, and the food, especially for those requiring gluten-free options, seems exceptional. I think it's a truly beautiful inn nestled in a picturesque village, with the kind of warmth that makes a stay memorable.”
