The Castle Inn is a traditional Dorset pub close to Lulworth Cove, with a history dating back to the 16th century. Immaculately restored throughout, it is the ideal base for exploring Dorset’s stunning Jurassic coastline and the beautiful countryside of the Isle of Purbeck. Under the picture-postcard thatched roof is a charming bar, relaxed dining room and 12 gorgeous boutique bedrooms. Outside, there’s a large paved courtyard and idyllic terraced garden with amazing views. Our laid-back atmosphere and friendly service make it the perfect home from home, where the whole family (not forgetting the dog) can unwind and soak up all that this unique corner of Dorset has to offer.

🚨Great news alert🚨

Since launching Hops & Glory, we’re delighted to share that we’ve already pledged an incredible £20,000 for charity, with another month still to go!

We’re donating £10 from every cask sold to be split between Shout and the Licensed Trade Charity (LTC), supporting the people at the heart of British farming and hospitality. And that means every pint of Hops & Glory you buy helps us raise even more for these two brilliant causes.

👏 A huge thank you to everyone who’s enjoyed a pint of Hops & Glory so far. We can’t wait to see how much more we can raise before the campaign comes to an end!
