The Wessex Royale is a delightful Georgian hotel with an excellent location in the centre of Dorchester. It offers free WiFi.

The Wessex Royale is ideal for a relaxing break. The hotel was built in 1756 and its classic features include fireplaces, panelling and a magnificent grand staircase.

I stayed first in Room 111, which was very fine, with a view over the High St and a proper bath tub. It was spacious, well equipped and confortable. I liked the calm, efficient and customer-focused atmosphere of the hotel. The large common guest lounge on the ground floor was a real asset. After a few days, I was joined by a friend with mobiluity issues and we moved to two courtyard rooms. The rooms were not as fine as 111 but very practical with easy stepfree ground floor access to the car park. The hotel listened to and accommodated our mobility needs. Very pleasant staff. My favourinte Dorchester hotel in its class (and 111 is my favourite hotel room). Bus stops to a number of destinations around and a bit further from Dorchester were pretty right outside (or just opposite) the hotel so this hotel and it was on the high street and close to facilities (but I wasn't at all disturbed by street noise).

    A very quaint Country Manor, surrounded by it's own grounds, located just outside of my hometown of Dorchester. My room was lovely and the breakfast was great (being vegetarian, the menu had vegetarian options).

    Excellent relaxing stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Used as a base to explore some of the local towns, as well as travelling further afield - we looked forwards to coming home in the evenings due to the comfort of the room.

    Beautiful house and garden. Friendly, welcoming owner and staff. Rooms had everything you would want,Beds super-comfortable and cosy. Had read reviews about room 5 being noisy from pipes which wasn't the case at all. Breakfast was perfect and served with a big smile! Cannot find anything to criticise - it really was a perfect stay!
