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.

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.

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.

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 fish and chips Dog friendly

Nice place for lunch and to get a bit of shopping.

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!

Found out about this place from TikTok - save the Elm Tree Inn!!

We came in the Summer to have a ploughman's, and found it so good we came back for another one, on the last day of our holiday! After having stayed overnight in their accommodation, and consumed a delicious breakfast, I can't recommend it enough. The staff have always been friendly, amenable and accommodating. The room was clean and tidy. Finally, the view of St Catherine's Chapel was amazing.

Great family pub with a lively, lovely, local atmosphere. Graham is a legend.

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!
