The Acorn Inn

About

The Acorn Inn is a 16th Century coaching inn that Thomas Hardy called 'The Sow & Acorn' in 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles'. Set in the picturesque West Dorset village of Evershot, this lovely old stone-built Inn boasts worthy history. Originally known as The Kings Arms, it once brewed its own ales with water drawn from the source of the River Frome.

Enjoy the warm and friendly atmosphere of either of our two bars. The Hardy Bar has been recently panelled with hand crafted oak. Log fires, beams, oak panelling and stone floors add to the ambience of this fine building. You can also soak up the summer sun on our patio outside.

The two bars offer award winning real ales, as well as a comprehensive wine list. The quality of our beer has been recognised with an award from Cask Marque, and with the recent introduction of a new cellar system, everything is refrigerated at the perfect temperature.
