Great room in a beautiful part of the world. Short drive to Lulworth and Durdle Door. While part of a lived in home, the room and bathroom had its own entrance and offered plenty of privacy. The host was lovely and provided some tips on places to eat and go nearby. The bed was out of this world comfortable and the breakfast hamper was a lovely touch.

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 is simply lovely; period interiors, a comfortable bar with a great atmosphere, great food and friendly helpful staff. There are also many good cafes and other places to eat all close to the hotel. There's a lot of history in Dorchester, and there are several wonderful museums all within 5-10 minutes easy walk of the hotel: Bovington Tank Museum is just a 20-minute drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and plan to do so again in the future.

The location was fabulous close to all the historic Roman sights I wanted to see. The hotel was quiet and appeared very clean and tidy. As there was no restaurant there was a dining area where you could order in or buy your own food and sit at the tables to eat it. They also supplied a well stocked hot drinks area with fresh milk daily. Very impressed with this.

We were very surprised at the quality of the room and the very friendly service from all the staff. We enjoyed excellent food, The location was perfect for us with easy access to Dorchester and Bournemouth where we had business to transact. I would recommend anyone thinking about where to stay in Dorset to try this accommodation.

A well presented 3 to 4 star property that has good accessible rooms with lift. Excellent pub and restaurant with good food and young amenable staff who make you feel welcome. Good breakfast selection and nice restaurant environment. A great hotel for a stay in poundbury or visiting nearby Dorchester and sights at Abbotsbury
