I haven't been here for a couple of years, but it has a place in my heart as the best pub in Britain. Excellent location overlooking the sea, great selection of real ales and ciders. Everything a great English pub should be. It's a pity it takes me so long to get here. If only it was my local.

My parents used to take me to this thriving oldy worldy pup and we all loved its family atmosphere and as I grew up I know enjoy the selection of beers and ciders along with the buzz you feel the second you walk through the door and the real log fire makes this a popular stop for locals as well as tourists like my self.
Its almost ingenious how this place is a step into the past with such events as story telling and yet is not just a joint for old ooh err gents but is actualy a magnet for youngsters to.
I have nothing but praise for this charming well loved litle gem of Dorset iand agree with our friend who asks what does a pub have to do to get 9 or 10 out of 10

The Square and Compass is the best pub in England! The atmopshere, the people, the countryside and the cider beckon you further into a stone masons inn which has it's own petite museum and a room with the heartwarming log fire. In winter you can indulge in this rich wooded room snuggling up with the embracing fire, or, in summer entertain yourself outside with the delicate sunset and the magical views.
The square and Compass is in a prime location for walks, tea shops and the local villiage. After a walk down to the shore, luxuriate in a cider and a homemade pasty. The pub, the food and the drinks are to die for but without the atmosphere and the affectionate people who work there, this pub would not be the same. The Square and Compass is one of its kind. It is not just a pub, its a place where friends and pleasure is it's middle name. I recommend this pub for you all who visit Dorset.
