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.

A great inn to stay,eat,drink. Lovely little stream running with a cute bridge. Lovely village, plenty of parking at venue. Certainly have recommended it already to people, will definitely revisit this inn.

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.

Our first time staying here and we will be going back soon. Karl and Jocelyn were superb hosts. The room was very comfortable and very clean, Breakfast was the best and nothing too much trouble. Location was perfect for our stay as well. Probably one of the best Hotels we have stayed in.
