The staff were friendly, the rooms were very easy to get to, especially for my mam who has mobility issues. We had quick access to the beautiful terrace, as well as the interior pub and dining. We were driving and parking was simple and straightforward, but there was also a train station by the property if needed. The rooms were very clean and beautifully decorated. Couldn’t ask for anything to be different!

Spacious room, bigger than most I’ve been to. There were lovely trays for breakfast in bed, robes, a mini fridge and teas/coffee. It was peaceful. Good shower. Owner puts lots of time and effort into making sure everything was well presented and thoroughly thought out.

    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.

    I have been a member of the Museum for 40 years so loved seeing all the new building and clarity of the modern lay-out. My passion for the iconic water-meadows of the wonderful River Frome gave me hours of searching out the old archaeological sites and remnants of the historic sluices. The restaurants are plentiful and all different which makes eating out an event. The X Jurassic coast buses are a wonderful way to see the rest of Dorset and the famous Hardy country. I defy anyone to be at a loss when visiting that ancient literary and agriculturally unique part of Dorset.

    Friendly staff and a comfortable bed. The rooms are super clean. The complimentary tea and coffee is a nice feature. The hotel's location is ideal - only a few yards from Dorchester's main museums, and there are plenty of cafes/restaurants in the immediate vicinity
