The Crown Inn is a beautiful 16th-century thatched pub situated in the village of Puncknowle (pronounced Punnel), a stone's throw away from the stunning West Dorset coastline.
There's plenty to do all year round, whether you are relaxing in the large beer garden with stunning views on a hot summer's day, enjoying an award-winning local ale in the bar next to the log burner or tucking into some traditional, locally-sourced pub fare. We also offer two lovely en-suite B&B rooms if you plan on spending days exploring the spectacular landscapes of the Dorset coastline and Jurassic Coast.
