| We have just come back from a night spent at The New Inn after a wedding in Sherborne. I would have to say that our only advice would be to try and find somewhere else at all costs. I'm so disappointed that I've registered on BITE just to get this off my chest. Whilst, ultimately, the staff were accommodating, our very poor rating comes from the fact that the rooms, bar, and restaurant all feel really, really grubby. Dirty carpets, dirty bathrooms plastered in loo cleaner (which doesn't cover up much) and the general feeling of being more than tired around the gills. It felt distinctly unhygienic - like you wouldn't want to walk on the carpets in bare feet, let alone sleep or bathe anywhere near it. Crumbling bathroom with shelves coming off the wall, grimy sheets - everything is really very wrong about The New Inn. And then the fact that we were charged a ridiculous £90 for a double room; that I was awoken twice in the night by the snoring of our next door neighbour (nice), and that breakfast runs from 8am to 9am. A place very ,uch stuck in the 70s. Whilst we didn't eat there - other than a very unchallenging and not to be recommended breakfast - I have to say that nothing about the menu ("spicy tuna bake") seemed to say anything other than stay away. For our money, I really wish we'd stayed at The Queens Arms in Corton Denham - further a way, but a really lovely place with great food, service and an awesome selection of beer and wine. petercollie - 25 Aug 2008 15:34 |
| Don't even think about doing anything than having a pint here. The food is the worst I have eaten anywhere in the UK. A supposedly rare steak was sent back for being burnt only to return as carbonite. AVOID! gastroboy1 - 12 Jun 2008 15:47 |
| The New Inn has improved greatly under the current regime. The food is great and the atmosphere is good. Definately the place to eat in Cerne Abbas at the moment. skibum - 25 Jan 2008 11:25 |
| I've stayed her on and off over a period of about 12 years and it is a beautiful old building in a lovely village. The accommodation is good value but the pub side of it has been through a lot of changes. When we first knew this place it was a lot shabbier and I like shabby! I think it was taken over by new management again about 18 months ago and it has got some of its good atmosphere back. The breakfasts are great. Reasonable choice of beers and wines (though not at breakfast). spincat - 12 May 2007 16:31 |
| My family and I recently visited the New Inn for a birthday celebration and enjoyed our visit very much. The welcome was exceptional, along with the atmosphere and service. Our meals were delicious especially the lamb shank and fresh bream with a lemon sauce. The homemade desserts particularly the dorset apple cake were scrummy!!! We will most certainly be returning soon. I would recommend this pub to anyone anonymous - 24 Nov 2006 18:16 |
