The Mitre Inn, Sandford Orcas

The Mitre Inn is situated in the small village of Sandford Orcas, just three and a half miles north of Sherborne, tucked in the rolling hills of the Dorset countryside. The pub was originally built in 1851 as a cider house but now as a freehouse, we sell beer and cider from local breweries such as Apex Brewery and Yeovil Ales.

The present owners have run the pub since 1992 and having purchased the pub in 2014 have completed extensive refurbishment, whilst still keeping the charm of the building. The owners Allen and Cheryl Page have now established two high standard letting rooms, boasting en- suite shower rooms. The rooms have received high reviews on booking.com and trip advisor. Allen and Cheryl have two wonderful dogs, Finlay and his daughter Freya. They will welcome you throughout your stay and whilst the pub is dog friendly, unfortunately we are unable to allow dogs to stay in the letting rooms.

In the Autumn/Winter there are 2 wood burning stoves making the bar and dining room a cosy place to relax.

In the Summer our garden provides an elevated position in which you can unwind taking in the peace and tranquility with views across the valley.

Lovely little pub, nice place to stay away from the hustle and bustle, with great beer and food. Room was modern and very clean. They had their beer festival on when we stayed, which was great, with 10 or so ales to try. Full English breakfast available each day, and a good range of meals for dinner each night too. Friendly attentive service, nothing was too much trouble for Allen & Cheryl. Would go again.

We loved the location because of it being off the beaten track. No sirens no traffic no planes. Food was great, freshly cooked and piping hot. Our hosts were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. We. May well book the shepherd's hut for our next stay

Such a fantastic traditional pub in the wonderfully named Sandford Orcas in Dorset. We stayed in the Shepards hut which was very spacious, really comfortable with lovely views. Our hosts were very welcoming, lovely people and I would wholeheartedly recommend the Mitre Inn. We will stay here again when next in Dorset. 5 Stars!!

A popular local rural pub. This visit for us was a midday refreshment break while on a June hike. Friendly welcome and the couple pints of rhubarb cider was enjoyed greatly while sat in the higher part of the beer garden.

Very tasty home cooked food, delicious katsu beef curry followed by pear & apple pudding with custard. Four adults eating a main course, desert, drink with the meal & coffee afterwards for under £75 so good value. Very cosy feel with good service. A few narrow roads to drive down but well worth it. Will be back.
