The Mitre Inn, Sandford Orcas

The Mitre Inn is situated in the small village of Sandford Orcas, just three and a half miles north of Sherborne, tucked in the rolling hills of the Dorset countryside. The pub was originally built in 1851 as a cider house but now as a free house, we sell beer and cider from local breweries such as Apex Brewery, Fine Tuned and many more.

The present owner, Steve, took over the pub in June 2023 and has added an additional parking area as well as developing the substantial beer garden (complete Spring 2024). The pub scores high on TripAdvisor and booking.com and was recently awarded 5 stars in its food hygiene.
They have two high standard letting rooms, boasting en- suite shower rooms. Steve has a beautiful pub dog 'Buddy', who will welcome you throughout your stay and whilst the pub is dog friendly, unfortunately they are unable to allow dogs to stay in the internal letting rooms. However the external Shepherds Hut is available so your four legged companions are more than welcome!
