A Cosy Coastal Retreat for Staycations, Relaxed Dining, and Warm Hospitality
Exciting changes are underway as The Dolphin Inn transforms into a Hall & Woodhouse managed house. Currently closed for refurbishment, we’re crafting a welcoming new space where tradition meets contemporary charm. Reopening early 2025, the Dolphin Inn will offer exceptional food, award-winning beers, and the warm hospitality you know and love.
Stay tuned for updates, we can’t wait to welcome you back!
Where the Coast Meets Comfort
Following its refurbishment, The Dolphin Inn will reopen as a refreshed coastal retreat, perfectly situated just a 3-minute walk from the beach and close to the South West Coast Path.
Whether you’re stopping in after a scenic hike, enjoying a seaside getaway, or dining with family and friends, The Dolphin will offer a warm, welcoming atmosphere, delicious food and drink, and the hallmark hospitality you know and love.
Comfortable Rooms and Coastal Adventures Await
At The Dolphin Inn, our rooms will be thoughtfully designed to provide a restful retreat after a day of exploration. Each space will blend comfort and style, ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep.
Situated in the heart of the picturesque village of Beer, our location offers easy access to a variety of attractions. From the fascinating Beer Quarry Caves to the family-friendly Pecorama and the tranquil Donkey Sanctuary, there’s plenty to discover just a short journey from our doorstep.
Hotel bookings will open soon for stays in 2025. Whether you’re planning a relaxing staycation or a coastal getaway, The Dolphin Inn will offer the perfect blend of comfort and convenience.
Award-Winning Beers and Classic Home-Cooked Comforts
The Dolphin Inn will offer a menu of comforting dishes inspired by classic home-cooked meals, made with fresh, simple ingredients. Whether you plan to join us for a relaxed lunch, hearty dinner, or our soon-to-be-famous Sunday Roast, we’ll be serving up all your favourites—from pub classics to seasonal specials and indulgent desserts.
To complement your meal, we’ll proudly offer our award-winning Badger Beers, crafted in the heart of Dorset since 1777. Brewed with the finest hops, malted barley, and pure spring water filtered through Dorset’s chalk downs, our beers bring a taste of history to every sip. Look forward to discovering our full range, including the bold flavours of our new Outland beers, right here at The Dolphin Inn.

Our Heritage: Brewing Tradition Since 1777
Founded in 1777 by Dorset farmer Charles Hall, Hall & Woodhouse has been brewing traditional ales for over two centuries, growing from a local operation to a beloved brand across the south of England. Starting with a small brewery in Blandford St. Mary, Hall & Woodhouse became known for its commitment to quality, producing ales with locally sourced hops, barley, and pure spring water filtered through Dorset’s chalk downs.
In the 19th century, the Woodhouse family joined the business, strengthening its reputation for excellence and introducing the now iconic Badger Beers. Today, Hall & Woodhouse remains a family-owned brewer and pub company with a rich legacy and a forward-looking vision.
