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.
