Red Lion Winfrith in Purbeck

We didn’t stay but had a fab meal, ( great chips! ) hosted by two very friendly gentlemen. The ambience & cleanliness were all excellent and highly recommend. Wish we had popped in for brekky as we left Dorset today, motorway brekkies just don't cut it !!

Very over rated, £18 for a beef roast, came with 2 roast potatoes and very little vegetables. Extra for pigs and blankets that had no bacon and extra for stuffing balls that were burnt, would not recommend

Great food and lovely welcoming staff Would definitely return when We are next in the area : )

The most friendly staff I have ever come across! So tentative and thoughtful and very engaging with the kids. We were very relaxed at this hotel and pub. We got our dates mixed up and they were so accommodating. We had an evening meal and the kids cleaned their plates! Fantastic location close to Lulworth cove and other places to visit with kids. They also have a campsite which is handy! We will definitely stay here again. Thank you all!

Under the New Management from April 2022.We stayed here over the Easter 🐣 Break. We booked a Family Room, 1 double & 1 bunk bed. There’s a TV with all the basic channels, shower, tea/coffee/kettle, wardrobe. It’s small but practical, does the job as our main reason was to spent time sightseeing, the Durdle Door beach is only 9 minutes away by car.The room is above the pub, we stayed Saturday overnight & it wasn’t too noisy.We had lunch, it was tasty, there’s an outdoor area, my son was able to kick the ball around whilst we waited for food. They have kids menu too.We checked in at 3pm, you get a key from the side entry.We also booked breakfast- had continental breakfast, croissants, juice, fruits, yogurts, toast, tea…it was all fresh & all ready for us.The checkout was by 10am. There’s a car park just next to it.The people in charge are very nice, easy to talk to & helpful. Wish them a lot of success with their journey!If I was to improve something, it would be the quality of Wi-Fi. I wasn’t too bothered as I have 4G when I needed it, but would be nice to have a stronger Wi-Fi.

We stopped for a quick bite in between restoring power to homes (a very long shift). Normally we'd only manage a takeaway or fast food.The food was amazing. Probably the best steak pie I've eaten. The portion size was good, to the point after not eating for 12hrs I still left some.Highly recommended!

Great food. Very helpful owner. Nice cosy pub where you can have a nice conversation without having to shout above the music

thank goodness we only booked 1 night, the room was small no pug in the sink, the bed was clean and comfortable. The lady serving the drinks was very pleasant, we were there on a Sunday night the only food available was a carvery or Pizza. we ordered the carvery, the food was in a hot plate and had been out from Lunch time we ate at 7.30 so was not the best,we then sat to have a couple of drinks before retiring, the door to the kitchen leads into the bar and as kept open, a radio was on and turned up so load we couldn't hear our selves talk, the chef/manager was banging metal food containers on the counter tops making it obvious we weren't wanted in the bar so we and the only other couple in the bar went upstairs to bed.breakfast was from 8-10 so we went down for breakfast at 8.30, the door into the bar was locked, we looked through the window no lights on in the kitchen. phoned the bar no answer. waited 10 minutes nothing happened so went back to our room packed and left and will never go back in there again.

The place was gross, food was overcooked and bland, glasses were dirty. We were greeted at the door by a cloud of flies, we would have turned about if we were more familiar with the area. Picked the carvery and it was nothing short of rank. Meat tough as boot leather and veg for the most was bland. Halfway through the meal I noticed the swarm of flies over the carvery. All in all a manky experience. I would avoid if I were you... At least the table was clean 🤷

On the main road, but despite being busy and late we were able to get served on tables outside.Thank you to the lovely lady...I think you were the manager.....for finding ourselves a table inside as well after we ordered.Food was good sized portions and made a change from cooking at our cottage.If it wasn't for the fact it was at the end of our holiday, we would have come againLovely service and the bar staff were all so polite too..Thank you!
