Where you'll work: The Yachtsman A family-friendly Dorset pub-restaurant on the edge of Poole Tucked away in Hamworthy, a few hundred metres from Hamworthy park and beach, the Yachtsman is a favourite of visitors and locals alike. Originally built in the 1950's by Edward Woodhouse, this lovely haunt has been extensively refurbished with traditional pub features, including grand flagstone floors and rustic oak beams. The perfect example of a welcoming, Dorset town pub. This charming tavern is dog friendly (as every great pub should be) with a large terrace and garden and inside, the inviting bar is complemented by different rooms, nooks and crannies where you can make yourself at home, all of which are as cosy in the winter as they are glorious in the summer. The Yachtsman offers a menu of traditional English pub food, regularly changing specials and a range of award-winning Badger Beers (brewed only 15 miles away).
