Avoid at all costs we made a booking and the day before we went they cancelled as they had a better offer and we were in the middle of it. Had to find inferior alternative which ruined our holiday. They lied about it

We went for the specials menu, lasagne, what a mistake. No flavour, pasta was like burnt rubber. The side salad was ?

Called in by chance. First two options were off, settled on Brie and bacon sandwich with cranberries. Well presented with a good salad and crisps. The building remains open despite an end of season deep clean and decoration programme. Slightly surreal feel, but food was good value for money.Noteworthy details: Close to Portland Bill, private parking for guests. I walked to the inn from the other end of the island, on good clear footpaths. Safe area for children and dogs.

DO NOT give this place “a try” as we did. If it wasn’t for the fact that it was pouring down and we were unfamiliar with the area then we would have walked straight back out again! As it was we ordered two drinks( young barman was friendly even if somewhat distracted) and asked if we could order food. There were only 3 people in the pub and they were eating so against our better judgment we ordered lasagna and salad and lasagna and chips. I have to say apart from the fact that the lasagna was barely warm and the salad was rocket, half a tomato and a slither of onion the service was just as bad as the food. We left the majority of our meal, finished our drinks and left what was then an empty pub. No one came to check on the 3 diners that had already left or ourselves and that may be because the only staff there were too busy playing snooker in an unused part of the establishment!!! Oh and I forgot to mention the sign at the bar that said “caution wet floor” and that was because there was a hole in the ceiling letting the rain in!

Very quiet for a Friday afternoon. Beers on tap was good. Plenty of outside seating.Unable to comment on the food as the kitchen was closed due to the chef failing to turn up for duty.

Had to put one star as zero not available. Ordered drinks and a soup for me and a chilli baked potato for my husband at the bar. Bar man friendly so I guess he can have the star. We waited half an hour to be delivered very luke warm soup. We were told the potato wasn’t ready so I politely asked to have my soup reheated and served with my husband’s meal. A few minutes later we were told there actually was no chilli. The land lady then came out and shouted at me there was nothing wrong with the soup. My husband disagreed and said he had tasted it. It was cold. I said I didn’t like her customer service. She really started yelling at that point. We got a refund from the barman and left. Don’t go here. It’s a lovely spot but a run down badly managed pub.

Although its location was good, right next to Portland Bill, the pub was very tired and felt unloved. The food was good,but the pub lacked any atmosphere.

Traumhafte Aussicht, leckeres Essen und nettes Personal.Nicht so überfüllt wie das Restaurant direkt unten am Leuchtturm da man vom Parkplatz ca. 2min gehen muss doch es hat sich definitiv gelohnt.Es war unfassbar lecker.
We were a large group looking for a quick bite to eat. We should have read the warning signs...... badly kept terrace out front, poorly maintained, litter everywhere, cigarette ends, broken slabs, long grass etc. Food was just awful, dead fly found in the chilli, stale bread, some items looked days old. Drinks not much better; lemonade was out of a Tesco's value plastic bottle. It wasn't even cheap! Please save your money and go elsewhere. Honestly the worst pub we've been to in the country.

Visited Portland Bill on a bit of going down memory lane decided to call in to the Pulpit for a coffee and something to eat, the good thing was I could take my dog in. Ordered a bacon, Brie and cranberry sandwich and coffee sat down to wait, eventually a young girl came over and asked if I was waiting for something I answered yes and was bought my coffee well a teapot of hot water a sachet of coffee and a jug of milk no teaspoon I had to get that myself, I then saw my sandwich was being bought out I took it to the table myself, it was almost cold even just being bought out, the bread was a cheap white sliced on the menu it says white, brown or bloomer, I didn’t get a choice. Whilst waiting a young lad at the bar was saying how his Mother had messaged him this morning asking him to stop f…..g being sick down the toilet ( hardly what yo want to hear) the language between the staff did leave much to be desired an awful lot of f…..g in their conversations not really what customers want to hear.I really couldn’t recommend this as a stopping point.

Very nice room. Staff were accommodating. The room was very clean with everything available. Would recommend this B&B. Views are amazing. The lady who runs the bar was absolutely amazing. Break was was 5 stars. The views from breakfast area is beautiful. This Pub and B&B deserves more credit ! Ignore all the negative comments. Ohhh and to add they cater for Vegans which is a bonus !! Will be backRooms: Room very clean !Walkability: Small distance from the beach.

This pub could be making a killing where it'd located.Won't be going back after visiting today.Bad entry for wheelchairs, over gravel & weeds. Not made to feel welcome when you get in pub. Looks like something is missing so empty looking. Didn't feel like eating there once we got in there. Won't be going back or recommending it to anyone.Can't give this pub any starsFood & drinks: No comment

Our room has been given to another couple because the manager on duty hasn’t got her phone on her. The manager was only there to clean the rooms and served food. She had nothing to do with the hotel bookings. She did not apologise and gave the impression that she didn’t care, we could like it or lump it. The other guest has gone to a wedding and weren’t contactable.We eventually excepted a twin room. The lock on the bedroom door was for an internal door like a bathroom. Using a 2P coin you could put it in the slot and open the door. The fixings for the bathroom mirror on the wall but there was no mirror. The boards at the bottom of the shower was missing. There are four sets of drawers all have different handles. Inside the drawers had paint spray in them where they had been painted and smelt damp. One of the sets of drawers had the curtain pole fixings and the second had the curtains in. The curtain poles were by the side of the wardrobe. We push the two single beds together and they were different heights. The TV remote had no back on the battery cover. We had 1 teaspoon to share between two of us.We were offered a free meal and drinks to the value of £55 to compensate.
