The Square and Compass Inn in Purbeck

A lovely country pub with loads of history and low doorways. It's seem very popular, selling local ales and food. It even has a small fossil museum. Will definitely be back.

Lovely, friendly old pub, with a musium of curiosities out the back and a roaring fire in both rooms. Nice outside space. Huge selection of ciders. (Really good local ale too)The staff are friendly and chatty. Dogs are welcome. Live music events returning soon👍

Hadn't been here for over 40 years - so lovely to find it exactly as I remembered it. Lovely fire, food, and welcoming bar staff. A proper pub. ❤️

Great scenic pub in a beautiful small village.Perfect spot for a pint and pastie on a coastal walk.Brilliant wooden outdoor seating which really makes the difference on a sunny day.Highly recommend

Nice pint of Devon Red and good home cooked pasties..veggy and meaty options. Sat outside in a little cabin overlooking the coast. Right lovely little pub.

This is one of those very special country pubs that I hope will always exist. It is very small and plan to sit in the beautiful garden overlooking the sea. The bar is a serving hatch, but don't let this put you off. A good selection of local ales and pasties are served. A must stop after walking to Winspit. One of my favourite npubs in the area.

Very friendly pub situated in the delightful village of Worth Matravers. A fine selection of real ales sit weirdly but beautifully alongside an equally fine collection of fossils and other historical artefacts. I tried a local Swanage ale (Hattie Brown's HBA), and it was excellent. Near Corfe Castle and superbly located for walking the beautiful Jurassic coastline, the pub is a must-visit. Despite its small size and remote location I found it a buzzing hive of activity on a Monday lunchtime in October.

A quirky little pub, that has barely changed in generations. Serving a fantastic selection of cask ciders. Ideal watering hole on your Jurassic coastal walk. With a tiny museum of fossils and relics.

One of the best pubs in the country. Amazing location garden and atmosphere. Great beer and cider. Food limited to pasties but these are great!

We stumbled across this rural pub which was packed. Great pasties cake ice-cream and fantastic beers, mead, brandys.This ancient quarrymans pub has one of the best views in Dorset and is a must visit. Just to top it off they have a free museum as part of it which has a great local collection of treasure.
