Really enjoyed our stay at the Brace of Pheasants. A down to earth but high quality pub and restaurant serving delicious food and real ale from casks behind the bar. As a guest we had use of a downstairs lounge which was lovely to relax in. Breakfast was delicious, focused mainly around the traditional English with bread and granola if desired. Plenty of walks in the area and would definitely stay again.

Fantastic stay

All good! Friendly and helpful team run a great pub and a very comfortable hotel. Beautiful part of Dorset, Plush is a quiet hideaway hamlet, the Brace of Pheasants is an ancient thatched inn doing everything well. Tasty supper, huge range of beers and breakfast to die for. Fantastic stay.
