The Castle Inn

The Castle Inn is a traditional family-run 16th Century thatched free house pub and hotel with an extensive food menu (available until 9.30pm every night) and regularly changing local real ales and ciders, near the beautiful Lulworth Cove & Durdle Door of the Jurassic Coastline and surrounded by the Isle of Purbeck countryside. The Castle Inn has been run by the Halliday family for over 30 years, over three generations.

We are extremely Dog Friendly, and dogs are allowed throughout the pub and even have their own treats on the bar! Dogs (and other pets!) are also very welcome in our accommodation.

We have a great reputation for offering one of the largest selections of traditional Real Ciders in Dorset, with a strong focus on West Country producers. We also offer a large range of local Real Ales served direct from the barrel, which are chosen from local breweries and quality guest breweries.

We are only a short walk to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, which makes our bedrooms a great place to stay whilst enjoying the area. We are ideally placed for a countless number of walks, through wonderful countryside and along the magnificent South West Coastal Path.

We offer a comfortable stay in relaxed surroundings. We offer bed and breakfast, with a renowned breakfast menu to suit all tastes, after which you can explore the many attractions the Purbeck area has to offer.

We are proud to have been awarded the East Dorset CAMRA’s “Rural Pub of the Year” 2012 & 2010! We are also proud to be listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2011 and 2012!
