The hotel is very clean and has been renovated recently. Check in was straightforward with a key safe, and they had left us lots of bits for breakfast which was a nice surprise. We had a lovely walk down to the beach in the morning.

The building is a beautiful traditional inn hid away in the Dorset countryside. The inclusive breakfast is as it should be. The proprietors and staff are kind and helpful. Allow plenty of time to drive there to allow time in the comfortable cosy bar.

Even if we didn't meet our hosts in person, we felt very welcomed. Everything was very clean, the spacious historic rooms were beautifully decorated and the atmosphere was great. In the morning we had a delicious breakfast and the best coffee I have ever had in England!!! We were both sorry we didn't book more nights, so we would love to come back!

    Wasn't sure what to expect but have to say Dorchester wasn't very inspiring as towns go. Two railway stations, both a fair walk from the main town streets. There's a museum and gallery but it was £15 to get in so I didn't bother. Not very exciting shops, I believe there's probably an out of town retail park but hard to access if you don't have a car.

    Plenty of parking. Good selection of shops. Fair amount of attractions e.g. Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum, within 45 minutes drive away. Local bus service seemed available for some of them. Attractive countryside.

    Dorchester is a quaint town that is always a pleasure to visit. It has a brilliant market and there are plenty of shops to visit. It it well served with different museums and the Tutankhamun and Terracotta Army ones are a definite visit for me. There are also plenty of cafes to have some amazing food.

    Dorchester is far too quiet, we tried to get a drink in a hotel bar at 10pm and they had shut. All of the other pubs were shut too. Where we parked our car, several drunk men were staggering around, and this was at 2:30pm.

    The hotel's location in the centre of Dorchester was perfect for our week of exploring Dorchester and the rest of Dorset. Carl and Jocelyn, the proprietors, were very hospitable and looked after us so well. The rooms were excellent. Our room had a separate sitting area, which was much appreciated. The breakfasts were exceptional, with a great choice of hot and cold dishes. There were different items of fresh fruit every day, and this was a real treat.
