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.

I had the best sleep ever! Beautifully clean; exceptionally comfortable (especially the bedding); well maintained and tasteful decor. The room had everything that I required: it was well equipped with lovely soap; body lotion; hair dryer; kettle and a well-stocked refreshments tray etc. staff were very welcoming and friendly. Communal areas were inviting and there was even a library. I was staying for work and the hotel was much welcomed at the end of the day. I have already re-booked for another two visits.

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.

Karl & Jocelyn are fantastic, friendly hosts and the breakfasts they serve are always great. It's that personal touch that makes this one of the best places to stay in Dorchester - a far cry from other chain hotels in the area.
