A much-loved west Dorset pub has been sold to new owners.
Laura and Mark Watson are bidding farewell to The Spyway Inn at Askerswell, near Bridport.
Posting on the pub's social media page, the couple said: "As we say 'hello' to 2023, it's time for us to say 'goodbye' to The Spyway Inn.
"We've thoroughly enjoyed our four-and-a-half years here and we couldn't have done it without you, but it's time to start a new chapter in our lives.
"We've met some wonderful people and will treasure the memories we've made. Best wishes Laura & Mark."
The couple took on the pub in July 2018 after it was was sold off a guide price of £595,000.
Dating back to 1745, the pub, which has retained many of its classic features, is close to the Jurassic Coast and has proven popular with visitors and tourists to the area.
