John and Janette Paulson welcome you to "The Frampton" a traditionally family run Inn situated in the heart of 'Hardy Country'.

The Frampton Arms was built in mid 1840 to coincide with the opening of the railway - and what better site for a Public House than opposite Moreton Station.

Situated on the B3390 between Bere Regis and Warmwell you will find this very attractive country pub situated adjacent to the railway crossing.

Trains stop at Moreton Station with regular services to Dorchester, Weymouth, Bournemouth, Southampton and Waterloo.

There are excellent entertainment and shopping facilities at Bournemouth and Poole and we are ideally situated to explore the Dorset countryside with its picturesque villages - Lulworth cove, the Purbeck Hills and to the east you have the New Forest, Beaulieu and the sailing town of Lymington.

A wide range of activities are available in the area including sailing, windsurfing, fishing, riding, golf (both East Dorset Golf Course and Came Down Golf Course are nearby).
