Bankes Arms
Manor Road Studland BH19 3AU
This ivy-clad Purbeck stone pub is a perfect winter bolthole just off the South West Coast Path – though it truly comes into its own in the summer when you can chill out in its huge grassy front garden which has dazzling views over the coast. The pub has its own microbrewery and serves a range of home-brewed ales and ciders, as well as generous portions of pub grub. And if you can’t face the journey home, it also has rooms to let upstairs.
