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.

We loved it all, friendly staff 😀 Everything so clean and Everything supplied that you wanted or needed above and beyond. Beds really comfortable a good night's sleep as so quiet. 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.

Unfortunately we were only there for one night to break up a long journey, however we would have liked to have stayed and explored a little especially after listening to Tony’s list of things to see and do ☺️

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.

Character of the property and history of the area. Eclectic interior. Location - access to walks and nearby places of interest plus Weymouth, Dorchester and Corfe. Quirky 3rd bedroom. Kitchen equipped well. Fabulous local pub. Oodles of hot water, much needed after long hikes. Lovely, comfortable beds with variable configurations given before arrival. Clean and fresh linen. Dorset apple cake on arrival - yummy.

The accommodation was warm, clean and the extra king-size bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and professional. The food was exceptional and well proportioned. At £85 a night including an excellent breakfast it was very good value. Set in beautiful Dorset countryside but only10 minutes from Dorchester.
