The best restaurants in Chesil Bank West Dorset South West

We had a lovely lunch there. The decor is pretty the service friendly and the food very tasty. The drinks however were very expensive. £4.50 for a pot of tea and £4 for a coffee! The coffee was quite weak, which was a shame.

Welcomed with a cream tea and some chatter. Lovely room with large bed and shower. Great breakfast on request . Eggs.Yogurt.Serials. Full English if you want . Very central location.Sue and Nigel couldn't do more for us.

We have visited the Abbey House a few years ago and drive especially with a detour to revisit. Since my wife uses a wheelchair I asked to be seated on the lawns just a few steps from the terrace to make an accessible place available (we had been seated there during our prvfious visit). The waiter answered: we only put tables there duiding a wedding. So no other option for us then just leave the place since which is NOT accesible for a wheelchair. We were very disappionted and felt unwelcomed.

The cream tea was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed as was the toasted tea cake. It was really good tea too Very genial host and hostess.🌞

Fabulous cafe in Abbotsbury, extremely friendly and informative owner who bakes beautiful cakes! Well worth a visit.

An absolute treat if you are parents looking for a relaxing break with little ones in tow. So much to do for the kids - we are still in awe of the huge games room (perfect to keep them happy in the cold weather!), as well as skittles alley (low tech bowling), movie nights with popcorn, pool, oh yes and FREE CHILDCARE! For the grown ups, the hotel itself is beautiful with lots of space to unwind, there are lovely walks from the hotel (if you can be bothered to leave), even spa treatments (Katie gave a fabulous massage). We were all so sad to leave!

Great food and friendly staff, superb location. The fish and chips are huge.

Stopped in this morning for a bacon roll and coffee for the drive home after camping nearby. Have to say it was the best bacon roll I’ve had in a very long time! Bacon was thick and cooked perfectly and decent brown sauce makes all the difference :)

Lovely setting, lovely staff. Homemade tomato soup was very peppery - so much so that I couldn’t taste the tomatoes. Bread roll was ok. Hubby had vegan pasty which he really enjoyed. Shared a fruit scone which was not nice. There was a hint of vanilla (unnecessary) and an underlying taste which was horrible. I couldn’t finish mine.

Great spot. Stopped off while walking some of the south west coast path. Had a lovely pizza and managed to watch it being made by Connor with some tips on how to make it ourselves!

Lovely place! Clearly an important community hub based on how many locals you see.

Staff were lovely, unfortunately the food did not live up to expectations.

Have driven past the Swan on many occasions on the way to Bridport and have been intrigued by the Steak and Kidney Pie advertised on the A Aboard. I was not disappointed it was excellent, very tender meat and served with three vegetables. The rest a the party were equally impressed with their meal. The atmosphere was a traditional English pub and the staff were pleasant welcoming. If you’re driving past pop in you won’t be disappointed.

Had a lovely mug of tea and a delicious homemade Belgian white chocolate and marshmallow tiffin. The setting is very colonial ( is that word allowed). The staff seem tired.

Overpriced cafe offering bottles of coke/tango £2.75 and sandwiches £4.95. No presentation like you see in the photos. When asked if it was really £2.75 for a fizzy drink the responce was " I don't set the prices I just work here!" Would highly reccomend a picnic and eating in the many stannary picnic areas. Such a shame as we'd passed on another cafe locally at a precious stop off!
