The New Inn Description
This beautiful 16th century former coaching inn is an iconic building located in the heart of Cerne Abbas, one of the prettiest villages in England.
Recognition in the major guide books has come and The Good Pub Guide awarded us County Dining Pub of the Year.
The village is within easy reach of Weymouth, Bridport and Shaftsbury.
It is also the perfect stop-off point for those coming to or from Devon and Cornwall.

early evening drinks often lead to a fab evening with friends! food is definitely worth a try, always something good on the menu or special board.
We are very lucky in Cerne to have the facilities we have.......3 pubs and a tea-room!
Make sure the New Inn is on the things to do list!!!
We have just returned from the New Inn this morning after a wonderful weekend with Julian and Annett.
There were eight of us in our party and we were throughly spoilt the whole time.
The food was excellent, the accommodation was very clean and comfortable. Thank you both very much for all of your hard work at all times.
Warm, cozy and elegant pub. Fanstastically friend staff and well priced meals.
Very nice accommodation and good food with friendly staff.
Took my better half away for his Birthday yesterday. I can't say enough good things about The New Inn. From the time we arrived the staff were welcoming and made every effort to ensure our stay was perfect. We had a very scrumptious Sunday lunch and spent a late afternoon relaxing in our roll top bath before having a light supper. At breakfast the service was really excellent and with food to match. Highly recommended and with the Cerne Giant nearby for a Sunday afternoon stroll to make his aquaintence what more could you ask for.
Superb locally sourced food and service was exceptional, a must visit if in the area.
So glad we stopped in for a drink today, even though it turned out to be the most expensive pint ever after falling in love with such a beautiful place and booking Xmas dinner with you (and your most stunning room to go with it)
� �
Lovely, lovely pub and lovely, welcoming people �
Pre wedding gathering. Beautiful pub.
Food excelled pub food standard and was more like a city centre restaurant.
Beautiful outside area and stunning rooms if staying over as many of the wedding party was.
Staff were very welcoming.
Lovey place to stay, when we visit family. The food is first class, local and fresh
Lovely staff and superb cuisine. A real find and would definitely visit again.
Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff & landlord, the best pub food, beer & wine, fabulous village & walks. Our favourite pub!
Local to the village (I'm very lucky!) the New Inn never fails to exceed expectations. Could be a swift pint after work, an evening with friends, or a beautifully served and cooked dinner. The service, food, wines and beers are all top class. Julian and Annette are always warm and welcoming. And the decor is stunning. A beautiful building with a fascinating history, and gorgeous outside space too.
Just wonderful!
Just spent our anniversary at this amazing place and are sad to be leaving.
From the moment we arrived we were looked after and made to feel so welcome by owners Julian and Annette. Our room was stunning and so comfortable that on the first night we slept for 12 hours straight which we NEVER manage in our busy lives!!
The food was delicious and the steak on the first night was the tastiest I can remember eating.
I can’t recommend this place enough.
Thank you Julian and Annette for giving us a perfect anniversary weekend!!
Just enjoyed a fabulous birthday lunch. Beautiful food and a lovely warm welcome! And thanks for the birthday gateaux! �
I was just on a short visit to see my daughter and it was she who suggested it was a lovely area to visit. Georgus village with a variety of walks in a postcard setting. After a good walk we went to the New Inn for a late lunch (so late we were just in time). Fantastic welcome from the hostess and although we only had a bar snack meal it was served so beautifully and was excellent . Next time I down from London the New Inn is first on the cards for a walk and looking forward to having a full meal next time. Can't stress how good and spotlessly clean and beautiful ambiance the place has. If you have not been there do try it's very much worth the effort ����������
I travel a lot with my work so sample a lot of Hotels, Inns and guest Houses and this place knocks the spots off the rest. Great hospitality, Wonderful food and Fantastic room
I took it open myself to book a meal and accommodation for six of us. I am happy to say our stay and meal was a great success. We had comfortable accommodation both in the main building and extension. The meal was beautifully presented and tasty with good, attentive service. Highly recommended.
Have always had the best food, service and atmosphere eating at the New Inn. And yesterday I had the best burger I've ever eaten, followed by probably the best dessert! The chefs must be so passionate about there food to always make such delicious dishes, and the foh staff are always so friendly and happy. One of my favourite places to visit!
Had the most fantastic stay at the New Inn last night! Julian and Anette the landlords met us with a big warm welcome and smiles, we were made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Annette showed us our room, the Cerne suite. The suite was gorgeous and luxurious and for me the roll top bath in the bedroom was the icing on the cake. The bed was made up of gorgeous white cotton sheets and the mattress was so comfortable. The suite was spotlessly clean with everything you needed. Plenty of choice of teas and coffees, local books of history and walks too. We stayed to have dinner, the service was first class and we were truly looked after. The food was exquisite! We started with the fresh oysters from Portland, just perfect! Followed by tempura fresh cod for me and scallops for him for starters. The presentation was beautiful and flavour was mouth watering and melt in the mouth. Our mains were the shank of lamb and the pork, again beautiful! I have not tasted food this wonderful for a long time. The quality was exceptional, I could have married the chef! We had a very comfortable night and it was lovely to wake up to the singing birds and quietness of the country. Breakfast was a wide range of choice, all freshly made by the wonderful chef! I would highly recommend the new inn. I give everything 12/10!! The best 24 hours break! Shall be back again with no doubt!
Great welcome incl for our dog, lovely room and fantastic food. Thanks New Inn!
Great warm welcome as always from Annette and Julian. Last night we tested out their steak night: superb steak perfectly cooked and nice bottle of red wine. We will certainly be going again soon.
Great food, very friendly and accommodating staff, awesome beer garden. Everything positive about our visits to The New Inn.
Great accommodation, friendly staff & fantastic food. Thank you to Julian & Annette.
