We messed up our arrival dates and they booked us on another day without any extra costs, which was fantastic and very kind of them. Communication was always super fast and friendly. The hotel itself was very modern, cosy and in a great location! We loved everything about our stay! Thank you for having us.

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.

Lovely location in pretty Dorset village about 8 miles north of Dorchester. I used as a base for visiting the tank museum at Bovington - about a 35 min journey away. The accommation is across the car park from the pub which is fine and the double en-suite room was well appointed and comfy. Staff and food at the pub were excellent and it felt really friendly for someone travelling alone. Hope to return with a friend to show her the area.

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!
