This was the second time that we have stayed in this lovely old pub and our experience was just as good as on our first visit. The food at both dinner and breakfast was excellent and the service from Matt and his team is as good as you’ll find any pub in the UK. The village of Plush is charming but very small and rather remote so don’t any night life!

We had an event in the area and stayed here for 1 night. Check in was quick and friendly. Was shown personally to our room. Food onsite was amazing ! Wi-Fi is fast and is critical as no signal in the area (Nothing the hotel can do about that) :) Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone !

Lovely place to stay

Very warm welcome, really good customer service. The rooms were spacious and well equipped, the tea, biscuits and Nespresso machine were very welcome. Food was excellent and the bar was very friendly. Cannot recommend enough, it is a pretty thatched pub in a very quiet hamlet.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Brace of Pheasants. A down to earth but high quality pub and restaurant serving delicious food and real ale from casks behind the bar. As a guest we had use of a downstairs lounge which was lovely to relax in. Breakfast was delicious, focused mainly around the traditional English with bread and granola if desired. Plenty of walks in the area and would definitely stay again.

This a delightful if very remote pub with a superb restaurant in a quintessential little Dorset village. Highly recommended for foreign tourists who want a genuine English pub experience.
