About The Greyhound Inn
A stone-built village pub at its core, The Greyhound Inn sits along the High Street in Sydling St Nicholas, a small settlement near Dorchester in the Dorset countryside. With just six rooms, it keeps the scale and character of a traditional inn rather than a large hotel, giving guests a quieter, more local base for exploring the county.
Rooms are simple and comfortable, and the property centres around its bar and restaurant, where breakfast is served each morning. Free WiFi is available throughout, and there's a garden for guests to make use of when the weather allows. Concierge services can help with local recommendations, and pets are welcome, making it a practical stop for those travelling with dogs.
Free on-site parking is provided, which is useful given the rural setting. The inn makes a convenient base for exploring Dorset's countryside and attractions, with Dorchester itself within easy reach for those wanting a wider range of shops and sights.
