They say that during the dark days of the Second World War, Osmington wasn’t just another sleepy coastal village. Behind its quiet lanes and rolling hills, it played host to some of the most important minds of the time. Local talk tells that The Sunray became a secret meeting point for officers stationed along the coast. Some even whisper that Churchill himself, alongside General Eisenhower, stopped here for private talks in the run-up to D-Day. Hidden by the Dorset cliffs and with the English Channel on its doorstep, The Sunray was the perfect cover -a place for strategy, a stiff drink, and a moment’s calm before history changed forever. The clink of glasses, the scent of tobacco, the low hum of military chatter - that’s the story that’s been passed down through generations. After the war, The Sunray remained a beacon for locals. Fishermen, farmers, and families gathered here, raising a pint where legends once plotted. It became the heart of Osmington -a pub woven into the very fabric of the village. Now, after years in the shadows, The Sunray rises again. Reimagined with respect for its history, it stands as a premium pub for a new era - where tradition meets comfort, and stories old and new are shared by the fire. Some say if you listen closely on a quiet evening, you can still hear the echo of those wartime voices - a toast to courage, friendship, and the enduring spirit of The Sunray. See you soon.

Osmington, Dorset – The Sunray is a set to become reimagined coastal Inn – a premium, food-led pub with boutique-style cottage accommodation, just minutes from Dorset’s iconic Jurassic Coast. Following a multi-million-pound renovation, The Sunray will blend traditional charm with contemporary comfort. With 14 luxury self-catering cottages, it’s set to become one of the South’s standout pub-stay destinations. The Sunray currently under development by Longshore Development. Nestled in the heart of Osmington, surrounded by sea cliffs and rolling hills, The Sunray offers a refined yet relaxed escape for walkers, families, and food lovers alike. Think hearty breakfasts for those hitting the South West Coast Path, long lazy lunches for couples, and candlelit dinners for families sharing a proper meal. Menus will be seasonal, local and cooked with heart -with a focus on fresh Dorset produce, award winning wines, and wood-fired specials served from the outside oven and spritz, rosé and gin bar. The Sunray will offer a premium dining experience for food lovers as well as coastal holiday homes for the adventurer. Whether you’re returning from a windswept coastal hike or simply soaking in the peace and quiet from your cottage terrace, of winding down in a wood fired hot tubs. The Sunray is all about real hospitality, done properly. Inside, you’ll find a warm, beautifully restored space full of rustic character. Outside, sun-dappled terraces overlook the Jurassic countryside as you remain nestled in one of Dorset’s prettiest towns. “The Sunray is more than just a place to eat and drink - it’s where the day begins, where stories are shared, and where memories are made,” said Andy Lennox, restaurateur and founder of the Fired Up Collective. “We want every guest to feel the rhythm of the countryside, to taste the best of the South Coast, and to enjoy the comfort and care that defines a great holiday.” At the heart of this transformation is a partnership between The West Wessex Pub Co, (run by Lennox’s Fired Up Collective in partnership with Pestana & Young) and the Hunt family - local custodians of the land - who have spent the last three years restoring the historic buildings with care and pride. The Sunray once served as a refuge for officers during WWII, and today, it’s being reborn as a destination that honours that spirit of sanctuary - where good food, warm service, and Dorset’s natural beauty all come together.
