The Fleur de Lys Inn in East Dorset

Clean and tidy, but lacks the character of a proper boozer

Staying for one night while visiting friends. Met by very friendly staff. Nice comfortable room, but with the weather being 29c, might have been a nice idea to open the windows before we arrived and put the large bottle of water out of the sun (free warm water anyone?) That said the room was a decent size, with a large comfortable bed. No breakfast, which for what I paid, was a little disappointing.

What a amazing place great staff great food Highly recommended

Disappointing meal tonight having had very good experiences in the past The menu was lacking in much imagination, no specials and the high quality local steak and seafood that used to be offered was not to be seen. The crispy chicken salad was smothered in oil, not even a dressing, and as a result the croutons were soggy and the whole dish just tasted of (poor quality) oil. The burger was ok, but other than very good fries there was no salad served with it. Needs to up its game.

Dog friendly! Food was delicious but would have liked another vegetarian option ideally

A lovely pub in a quaint village serving good quality food and although only badger beer, still quite nice beer.

Went there for my birthday dinner and loved the place. Very cosy and romantic. Food was delicious. Not fan of massive plates and "small" portion in the middle. It's also a bit pricey for an average Joe.

I stayed here for a few nights in April 2023. It's a good spot to stay in the area. Things I liked: The bed was very comfortable. There was high water pressure in the bathroom shower. The staff of the pub under the inn were very friendly. Late at night, the area was very quiet. From the room I stayed, I could see the moon. Things I did not like: Till about 11pm, there was a lot of commotion which could be heard very well from my room.

Just spent 2 nights here as a friends wedding was literally across the road. First impressions, lovely, cosey little pub. Room was fine, clean, comfortable and great facilities. The manager was poorly so looked after by a friend/ relative (sorry didn't get his name) as he stepped in. Really frirndly and helpful. Couldn't fault any of the staff. Breakfast was great. I had a steak the first night. Didn't like it, when I mentioned this, full refund, so happy. Overall great stay. The only thing that I have found really disappointing is the prices have been increased for my room personally by £100 because they knew it was a wedding. I know friends paid increased prices as well. I paid £215 a night for a room I can get next week at £115. This has annoyed me slightly as they have not had to do anymore for us than what they would have normally especially still in a quiet time. My room was not worth £215 a night so feel taken advantage of. I would recommend here but would check the prices charged before booking especially if you are going to a wedding locally and they know it!

Mothers day lunch, Outstanding ❤️ food delicious, my soup was full of flavour creamy and warming, roast lamb was absolutely perfect, cooked to perfection, tasty tasty spuds and veg, finished with a luxurious brownie, again Outstanding, staff Outstanding, warm welcome for us with a two year old and the dog, really really friendly and nothing was to much trouble. Beautiful country pub, brilliant staff and really really tasty food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

delicious Sunday lunch excellent food excellent service.

We stayed for Valentine’s dinner and bed and breakfast on Saturday 11th February. The menu was exciting and special and the food absolutely delicious. Both the salmon and steak melted in the mouth, just perfect. We loved the dessert of three puddings to share. We were completely stuffed, but very pleasantly! Our room was large and comfortable and the breakfast in the morning was extremely good. It was a real treat. We shall definitely go again. The staff were willing and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We can thoroughly recommend the Fleur de Lys Inn.

Great food. Great chef. Cosy atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Freindly service. Would 100% recommend 👌

Sunday Roast. The beef was tasteless, with a very strange onion gravy and burnt overcooked cauliflower cheese. Wouldn’t go back. Our waitress was lovely but the food wasn’t.

Stopped off for lunch and really enjoyed both the food and ambience

Returned for another great meal and customer service a nice cross of attentive but casual.

Fantastic food lovely place and staff

Great food and fab service - well with the visit. The roast beef was incredible.

very neat vibes 10/10 would come again! :)

Great food, great price, great service.

Went in this eve for a delightful dinner! Been numerous times before and always liked the place but wasn’t crazy on the food… however there is new management and new menu in town, menu much better and food was delicious, service was fab as always anyway and friendly. I recommend

Very good food but do not like the added 10% surcharge to the bill to tip staff. We are not in America!

10 out of 10 for whole experience. Beautiful place with loads of character and very clean.The food was fantastic.The owner ? Manager ?.very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to return.

Great place for a couple of starters after a good dog walk, Sunday lunch also excellent

Nice country in with live music on a Sunday in the garden, very nice. Rooms were well equipped and comfortable. Evening meal was very good and excellent breakfast choices. Could not fault this one.

Very nice place, good food good atmosphere.

Having stayed and eaten here several times in the last year while planning our wedding, I can say just how sweet the staff are and how delicious the food is. Our guests booked out the Inn for the weekend of our wedding and all enjoyed their comfortable stay immensely. Thank you to the team!

A very warm welcome from Lauren and Tony,, a lovely nice clean pub, plenty of parking, food was excellent , a little over priced but worth it,, 🥰

Brilliant friendly service, a really welcoming atmosphere. I had dinner here with my partner and enjoyed the food. My steak was a little overdone for a medium rare but that's not uncommon and not a deal-breaker

Lovely pub and friendly staff plus Badger Beers.

The rooms are on the first floor. Music plays in the pub from before 9am till close to midnight. The speakers are mounted close to the ceiling so all the noise passes straight into the rooms. Incredibly unrelaxing experience, especially seeing as it isn’t cheap (£174 a night for a double room). Avoid.

Lovely pub, lovely food, great service Is there much more you can say....I would highly recommend a visit
