It is quiet, in the sense of no traffic or masses of people walking by, and therefore very pleasant to meet and chat. Staying guests have the use of a pretty courtyard beer garden. Some parts of this building date from the fifteenth century and it has, it seems, always been some sort of meeting place. Certainly worth a visit, or at least a photo op.

So, most pubs offer food and, again, each pub tries to outdo the competition. What remains? Atmosphere? That is certainly a big selling point, but, in Salisbury, there are more pubs with the 'olde worlde' ambience than you can shake a stick at. The 'New Inn' scores with its secluded beer garden, a quiet retreat that makes you forget the city is only a pace away. And, there's a great view of the Cathedral; a nice place to meet, and sit and have a leisurely drink with friends on a sunny afternoon. And, what if it isn't sunny? Well, the atmosphere inside is just as welcoming and, although I can't speak for the food I didn't have any the beer (Badger Brewery) is excellent.

There is a large beer garden, fabulous in summer to sit outside with a glass of pimms and some of the potato wedges which come with a mean sweet chilli sauce! The food is average, quality having depleted in recent months, a change of chef possibly??? Bar food is reasonably priced and they also have a resturant which is fairly pricey but clearly better quality food. The pub is clean and modern with a good selection of beer on draught and the inside seating is mainly wooden benches. In the winter there is a fantastic log fire, ideal for warming up around after a walk along the sea wall, that is if you can get anywhere near it!

The Hartnet holder and Company restaurant and the limewood hotel property overall are possibly the…read moremost beautiful place We dined in an 11 day trip to the UK. The property is bucolic and only 20 minutes from Southampton in gorgeous rolling countryside and forest. There were horses grazing in the fields. Four of us arrived for an early dinner and the chance to have a drink and tour the grounds. To be honest, we were underdressed, but they treated us like visiting dignitaries showing us around, checking our car and codes offering us boots if we wanted to walk in the rainy woods and allowing us to occupy a table at the bar for two charming hours of drinks and tea. The place is exquisite. The only fault it would have as a wedding venue would be the arguments about which spot is the prettiest to take the pictures. And then there's the restaurant, headed by chefs, Angela Hartnett, and Lukas holder. We were familiar with Angela from her television Chef career. The experience did not disappoint. The pasta courses were among the best we've ever had with sixty month aged Parmesan on creamier risotto, beautiful tagliatelle with lamb and Morels on gnocchi. The complementary Arancini came in three flavors and we each each other a favorite. The duck was delicious and the braised lamb was done beautifully. We shared the Pavlova with strawberries and whipped cream, and it was a nice light and to a really exquisite meal. I would highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner or if you really want to indulge a spa weekend rooms treatments, food, and all. My review would not be complete without mentioning Frank, who was so welcoming when he greeted us and handled the car and coats and earnestly showed us around the grounds, and Finn are wonderful, handsome young waiter, who was very professional and still friendly and charming. Thank you to both of them.

Limewood offers a beautiful escape if you are anywhere in the Southwest of England. My favourite…read morething that limewood offers is its beautiful internal decor and external grounds. Once you walk in you will be impressed with their gorgeous fresh floral arrangements, the roaring fires, the detailed wallpaper, the plush furniture and the well curated artwork. I've never been lucky enough to spend the night but I can comment on their food in the restaurant. This past week I had their Easter set menu. I started off with their goat cheese plate. It was a beautiful soft cheese with fresh capers and other vegetables with pesto drizzled over it. It was beautifully presented and tasted light and delicious. It was one of those starters that gets you excited for the next course. For my main I had rare Beef. With every roast you have roasted vegetables- the beets were perfection- and Yorkshire pudding. I loved mine and I could not stop scooping veggies onto my plate. To top it off I had the chocolate mouse which was rich and smooth. With the country atmosphere, warm interior and delicious food you know I'll be back again. Just waiting for the next opportunity to justify it.

The place was empty when we visited and I was a little worried about the kind of food I was about to get. My eggs were yummy though - delicious poached eggs on perfectly pock-marked english muffins and some strong english tea. The place is steeped in old british history and seems like I stepped into someone's living room from the 1800's really. They are an inn too, so we some patrons come down for breakfast from their rooms during our visit too. I would love to come back!

As this Inn is right in the middle of Corfe it is ideal for exploring the beautiful castle which is just outside the pub and rises over the garden of the inn.

The highlight of my meal was my starter, the fried calamari. I was reluctant to order it, as normally fried calamari is consistent across all restaurants and doesn't take advantage of premium establishments but I was so glad I did. The best calamari I can remember, perfectly breaded, not greasy, included both parts of the calamari, and a healthy sized portion. I will go back just for it. Followed it with the branzino, which they filleted at the table. It was a nice fish and well prepared but did not blow me away. I also had the cheese course. While all the cheeses were good and the portion size was excellent, if I was them I would put more "show" in it. They already have a trolley, rather than ordering off a menu and getting a somewhat generic looking cheese plate, they should present the trolley and walk you through the cheeses (even though they are described in the menu). Again, no complaints with the cheese but it could have been much more. Overall a great meal with the calamari sticking my head.

If I could make a recommendation: trust the chef's recommendations on the menu. They are all really, really good.

To finish we had summer pudding with Dorset blueberries(delicious but on the expensive side) Verdict: somewhere to go for a special night out rather than a cheap pub regular

Unfortunately, we had the worst night's sleep of our week long trip. I booked The Legacy Rose and Crown several months in advance of our trip, and when we checked in, we were told there was a party taking place that night. When we returned to our hotel after dinner and went up to our room, it seemed that we were located directly above the restaurant where the party was being held. Although the music was right in line with my tastes, we were really hoping for a good night's sleep since we had to be on the road at 7AM, but sleep wasn't to be had since the music continued until midnight. I pulled my ear plugs out of my bag and turned on a noise machine, but even that wasn't enough to block out the pounding bass. Honestly, the hotel should not have even rented room we were in on that date considering the noise below. If we had stayed at this hotel on a different night, I think our experience would have been much better - it's clean, pretty, and convenient to the cathedral and other sites. The staff was very friendly and gave us bagged lunches since we were checking out before breakfast. I wish I could leave a better review, but since the primary purpose of a hotel is to provide sleeping accommodations and we weren't able to get much sleep, two stars it is.
