Beautifully restored and maintained Inn & Pub with incredibly helpful and attentive Staff who made us feel right at home and so very welcome in the picturesque Village of Plush. The wonderful comfort and atmosphere of the Inn was matched by the superb Food & Wine too. Thank you for making our stay so lovely in every way!

Fantastic stay
All good! Friendly and helpful team run a great pub and a very comfortable hotel. Beautiful part of Dorset, Plush is a quiet hideaway hamlet, the Brace of Pheasants is an ancient thatched inn doing everything well. Tasty supper, huge range of beers and breakfast to die for. Fantastic stay.

Disappointed
The service was good. Food was good, with staff coping well with my wife's food allergies. However the accommodation is highly unsuitable for anyone with even slightly limited mobility. The narrow staircase, the cramped room, the changing levels in the en suite, the uneven floor, the low ceilings made for an uncomfortable experience, such that we did not stay for the second night we had booked (but were still charged). The full view of the toilet available to any passing hikers is also disconcerting.
