    Location was excellent, 5 minutes from the town centre and directly opposite Dorchester Hospital where i need to visit. Clean, comfortable room that was right at the back of the pub, no noise from either the pub or the road. It was half the price...

    Separated entrance and exit to the accommodation from the pub itself. Our room had an odd but surprisingly useful cloakroom square to leave shoes etc. maybe a motion led rechargable job would assist
