Clean, compact and simply but thoughtfully decorated - just what was needed for a short overnight break. The tea tray had tea, coffee, hot chocolate and sugar in cute little Kilner jars - together with two bottle of fresh water in glass Kilner bottles. Fresh milk in a little flask was a nice touch too. Bathroom was compact but exceptionally clean with plenty of fluffy towels, shower gel/shampoo, conditioner, liquid hand soap and loo rolls. The bed was a small double but comfortable for two. Easy access instructions and parking provided in a quiet location. We visited out of season and the Lemon Tree (attached) closed at 4pm but noticed they advertised a band playing the following weekend (Easter). We also left too early for breakfast. There are places to eat (we visited The Club House) a short drive away on the beach and a convenience store at a petrol station about a five minute drive away on the main road. I noticed other places to eat signposted on the main road. These all closed earlyish so check opening times if visiting out of season.

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.

We've wanted to visit Dorchester Museum for a long time.

We've wanted to visit Dorchester Museum for a long time. It did not disappoint. So much Dorset-specific and some fabulous fossils! Lovely cafe in the museum too. Market Day is a Wednesday in Dorchester best visited in morning as they wind up early afternoon.

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.

The hotel is simply lovely; period interiors, a comfortable bar with a great atmosphere, great food and friendly helpful staff. There are also many good cafes and other places to eat all close to the hotel. There's a lot of history in Dorchester, and there are several wonderful museums all within 5-10 minutes easy walk of the hotel: Bovington Tank Museum is just a 20-minute drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and plan to do so again in the future.

Beautiful, quintessential Dorset country village, lavender around the garden, ivy round the windows. Thatched cottages and birdsong. Simple, tasteful and well equipped room. Staff were all friendly, helpful and professional. The food was excellent, one of the best vegetarian fresh pasta dishes I've ever eaten.

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.
