The Red Lion is a family run pub situated at the heart of Hardy’s beloved countryside. Our doors are open throughout the year, regardless of season: winter brings warming log fires whilst the summer invites al fresco dining in our pretty pub garden. So, whether it’s delicious food, award winning ales, open fires, quiz nights or just a natter, you need look no further.
Close to the world renowned Jurassic coastline and surrounded by popular spots like Weymouth, Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, and well visited attractions such as Corfe Castle, Monkey World and The Tank Museum; you’ll find the B&B or campsite the perfect base for exploring the surrounding area.
we booked this hotel back in December and didn’t arrive until 3am, they happily got up to let us in, during this time they had flooded, however they still welcomed us with open arms and still done a continental breakfast for us! We loved staying here! They are very dog friendly, the dogs were even allowed to have their breakfast with us, we highly recommend to everyone, this has even become our local! The food and service is top notch!
The sweetest staff I’ve ever met!!! Beyond dog friendly 🐶 My partner and I stumbled across The Red Lion whilst staying in Winfrith. We have an elderly dog who often struggles with sloppy floors and laying on hard flooring. The staff were so accommodating to us! They led us round another way that was carpeted and provided him a bed to sleep on next to our table. The food was delicious, generously portioned and quick! The staff were so sweet and the atmosphere was so welcoming and relaxed. We’d love to come back when we visit again! Thank you!

Great little pub with great room for parking. Got there in the evening on a weekday where it was quieter, but had friendly and accommodating staff. Very patient and helpful. Above all the food was fantastic, and amazingly great value, as we had the app we saved £20! Got the hot dog with pulled pork, which was super fresh and tasty, with a pint on the side for just £10! Would definitely recommend on an offer day and would love to come back if we came through this way.
Paid a couple of visits here for food as was staying in the area. The team were very welcoming and so friendly. The food was very reasonably priced and good sized portions (I couldn't manage the evening meal I had!). Good standard pub grub, would recommend if staying in the area.
