A Palmer’s pub in a busy tourist location by the seaside, the location presumably the reason for eye-watering beer prices. There are two conjoined, open plan bars, separated by a couple of steps and served from the same servery. There is a stone fireplace, while the floors were a mix of timber and tiles. Being the pub nearest the beach it was full of families, though the children there were well behaved and didn’t cause any issues. There was a rather pointless ‘greeter’ by the front door, who attempted to ambush us as we walked in though we didn’t notice until we’d reached the bar. The landlord was friendly enough. Ales on were all Palmers: Dorset Gold, IPA and 200, all in very good condition. It’s a decent enough pub but lacked atmosphere and was, as I mentioned before, very expensive, so it’s not going to be a regular venue for me.

I was the last to review and it looks like the place had closed down in between the 8 years of my visit.

I remember nothing of my last visit, so obviously left no lasting memory.

Very much open now - may have been a recent refit, as scaffold still present and the main signs not yet put back in place.

Twin thatched cottages - with hotel rooms. Quite dark inside, with a central "meeting" desk proclaiming this was card only and to wait to be seated.

We only popped in for a drink and the same observations as last time.... how much! A pint of 200 and half a cider was north of £9.

Spent my entire visit trying to determine a) where the cask mark certificate might be and b) how much was my pint. My last review left a depressing indication.

Great location - dog friendly and a lovely wood burner down the bottom part of the pub. Palmers range on but was surprised at the prices - £4.15 for the 200. This seemed expensive to me.
