The building is a beautiful traditional inn hid away in the Dorset countryside. The inclusive breakfast is as it should be. The proprietors and staff are kind and helpful. Allow plenty of time to drive there to allow time in the comfortable cosy bar.

    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.

    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!

    Superb bed and breakfast accommodation. Tranquil setting with stunning views. Hugely comfortable bed and sofa with every creature comfort you can imagine. Nikki was an excellent host and her breakfast ( delivered to your room) was one of the best we have had in any hotel or guest house. Thoroughly recommended.

    Location was in the town of Dorchester, situated on the main high street. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bedroom was clean, tidy and comfortable. There was limited parking at the hotel, but you could park outside for £2 a night.
