This Pub is Permanently Closed

Built in the 1750’s as a coaching inn, the pub was used for the wealthy coach passengers to quench their thirst while they waited for extra horses to be added to the existing team to enable them to make the steep climb up Tout Hill into Shaftesbury. The pub has recently won the 'Best Pub' category at The Taste Of Dorset Awards 2014. Beers are from a variety of breweries.

Pub reported by previous owner in January 2018 to have been sold as a Pub.
