The Brace of Pheasants is a wonderfully characterful 16th-century country inn surrounded by rolling hills and peaceful countryside. Hidden away in the tiny Dorset hamlet of Plush, this Grade II listed thatched pub near Dorchester began life as a row of cottages and retains plenty of historic charm, with heavy beams, an inglenook fireplace and open fires adding to its traditional atmosphere. There are just eight en-suite bedrooms, split between the historic inn and a Garden Annexe created from the former skittle alley. With virtually no street lighting and very few neighbours, evenings here feel properly rural, while clear nights offer excellent opportunities for stargazing.

Food & Drink
The Brace of Pheasants has built a strong reputation for food, making full use of the excellent produce available across Dorset and the West Country. Menus bring together traditional pub cooking and more contemporary dishes, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients taking priority. The historic bar keeps the country-pub character firmly intact, with changing cask ales served alongside wines and other drinks. Heavy beams, comfortable seating, an inglenook and open fire create an atmospheric setting in colder months, while the garden comes into its own during the summer.
