A note from Silvana Silvana & The Team
New Beginnings at The Ollerod
We've had some significant changes at The Ollerod over the past few weeks with the kitchen closing, and the transformation into a different kind of B&B… Bar & Bed! We have lots of exciting plans, and will be offering food in a more unconventional style with Pop-Ups / Food Trucks / Garden BBQ Takeovers, as well as our own carefully curated bar snack menu. We will also still offer a fantastic Continental Breakfast to our Bed guests. We are in the process of creating a rolling 6 month Calendar of Events - live music, workshops, wine tastings, 'jamming' sessions (not the kind you eat), quiz evenings etc. All detailed info is coming soon on our Events page.
The Bars
Where the day gracefully unwinds.
Whether you're drawn to the lively energy of the Main Bar, the fireside intimacy of the Snug, or the lingering luxury of our Lounge, our spaces are designed for unhurried evenings. Expect curated local ales, bespoke cocktails, and an atmosphere that feels entirely your own.
Inside this caramel stone house is a true destination. The traditional and contemporary rub together throughout, paying homage to the building's 13th-century roots. The seaside isn't far and Hardy's Wessex lies all around.
