The Ollerod is flanked by the River Brit and is at the heart of Beaminster - one of the most perfectly sited of all Dorset towns – with its quaint shops and tea rooms. Deep in Thomas Hardy's Wessex, the hotel and restaurant is also on the doorstep of a World Heritage Site - The Jurassic Coast, with its 95 miles of unspoilt coast, crammed with 185 million years of fossil history. The Ollerod shares the same stretch of the River Brit made famous by Channel 4's "River Cottage" series, surrounded by some of Dorset's most spectacular countryside with excellent golf, shooting & fishing available locally. Nearby is the bustling market town of Bridport and the quirky fishing harbour at West Bay.
