Fantastic stay
All good! Friendly and helpful team run a great pub and a very comfortable hotel. Beautiful part of Dorset, Plush is a quiet hideaway hamlet, the Brace of Pheasants is an ancient thatched inn doing everything well. Tasty supper, huge range of beers and breakfast to die for. Fantastic stay.
