About The Drovers Inn
The Drovers Inn works well for travellers who want a quiet rural base with a proper pub at its centre, rather than a city-centre hotel. Set in the village of Gussage All Saints, near Wimborne Minster, it suits those exploring Dorset by car, with parking on site and Kingston Lacy and the local shops within easy reach.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks available to enjoy in your room, and guests can start the day with breakfast before heading out. The bar and restaurant anchor the property, with a garden and outdoor seating for warmer weather, and free WiFi and 24 hour reception cover the practical side of a stay. There's also further choice nearby, with a pub, restaurant and eatery all close at hand.
Beyond the inn itself, the surrounding countryside is well suited to cycling and walking, and there's entertainment nearby for evenings out. It's a straightforward, comfortable option for anyone keen to explore this part of Dorset at a gentle pace.
