Dorset Pub Reviews

Cove House Inn, Chiswell, Portland

The Swan, Weymouth

 

The Ship Inn, Swanage

The Fox Inn, Corfe Castle

The Smugglers Inn, Osmington Mills

Seeing as the Olympics have started, we thought we'd be topical and add some reviews of pubs in and around Weymouth & Portland, Dorset (this is where the 2012 sailing regatta/races are held).
We have visited 5 very diverse pubs (just click on the pub names to read the full review):
-Cove House Inn, Portland: an excellent pub situated on Chesil Beach. Worth going just for the views, but the pub doesn't disappoint either. For more information check out their website.
-The Swan, Weymouth: your usual Wetherspoons, so you know what to expect; for the price you can't go wrong. Here's their website link.
-The Ship Inn Swanage: another nice, welcoming pub. Situated near the pier in Swanage, serves good quality food as you can see from their website tag-line.
- The Smugglers Inn, Osmington Mills, near Weymouth: this is an excellent pub just east of Weymouth. It has a large beer garden which leads down to the beach.
- The Fox Inn, Corfe Castle: this really is a strange pub, the beer garden is excellent but inside it's a cluttered mess.

As you can see below 3 of these pubs are mentioned in the Rough Guide to Dorset, so they must be pretty exceptional!
