The hotel is very clean and has been renovated recently. Check in was straightforward with a key safe, and they had left us lots of bits for breakfast which was a nice surprise. We had a lovely walk down to the beach in the morning.

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.

A serene haven in the heart of the Dorset countryside, offering a peaceful rest. The hosts were welcoming and the breakfast was one of the best we have ever had anywhere in the world. We loved our room, decorated in classic country style, with a beautiful bouquet of flowers from their graden completing the ambience. We particularly liked the hosts knowledge and love of the countryside, something that shone through in everything they did. We can definitely recommend this hotel to those looking for a true countryside experience.

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!
