The Spyway Inn, Dorchester

Traditional old country pub, tucked away down a country lane (caution: the private road your satnav may try to take you down doesn’t lead to the pub – stay on the main lane and it’s just round the corner), with a long frontage but quite narrow. The bar is to the rear, with two rooms in front of it and a further room to the right used as a restaurant area. Ale selection was limited with Otter Best and Otter Ale, though it still managed to win the local CAMRA branch’s best pub award last year. Regret I can’t remember much else as my visit was at the end of a long day (and hence couldn’t try the rear garden which I suspect has a great view over the hills and valley), but it had a good feel to it and I’d very happily return.
