This is the home of Thomas Hardy.
This is the home of Thomas Hardy. Read some of his books before visiting or see the recent movie, Far from the Madding Crowd.
Also this is near the final home of Lawrence of Arabia.
There is so much to see and the walking paths are exceptional.

Poundbury is a very interesting place to walk round from an architectural point of view and also as a project in urban design. It is well situated for the coast and with Dorchester being within a mile. We walked into Dorchester one evening looking for somewhere to eat but it has really gone down hill since we lasted visited about 20years ago. It is tatty and needs some investment, to the point where we could not find a single establishment to eat in. We therefore returned to the Duchess of Cornwall hotel in Poundbury for dinner.

We only stayed one night , but have visited Dorchester many times before . Very historic , with lots of antique shops , open spaces , with both seaside not far , and countryside on the doorstep . Lovely . When we book this hotel again , we will make the stay a lot longer . And if we were to dine again whilst in the town , we would wait until we were back at the hotel to eat as the food is star rated IMO .

It is a lovely town - recommend a river walk and the Roman Villa which is most interesting.
Couldn't believe the cost of the Tutankhamun museum - then realised why it costs so much. The best provincial museum I have ever visited - the final room with the gold figures defies belief that they are copies. Wow (and I don't ever review anywhere!)

Dorchester is a bustling town with something on offer for everyone. From discovering the beautiful countryside or exploring the many surrounding beaches along the Jurassic coast. Wonderful places to stay, from historic hotels to very accommodating bed and breakfast establishments.
Museums, Thomas Hardy enthusiasts, military lovers, animals, cinema, gardens, steam and country shows - all tastes are catered for.
“The hotel had only been open for a couple of months and the staff were trying very hard to overcome the difficulties. The breakfast was good and the place has potential to become really good.”
“Room was very big, lovely comfy bed, excellent breakfast and lovely hosts. Dorchester not far good for eating and nice town, had room at front ...it's on a busy main road but was able to shut window as there's a ceiling fan.”
“A lovely quaint hotel that is ideally located to serve as a base for exploring the surrounding areas of Dorset. The staff were extremely friendly and provided us with plenty of information on must see sights and their recommendations for food and drink in the local area. The hotel itself was very clean, tidy and the lounge area provided plenty of charm.”
“The food was superb. Great choices for breakfast and excellent sandwiches and bar meals. Probably the best hotel food of its type we have ever had - and we never got round to trying the full a la carte restaurant menu which looked amazing. We may return to put that right.”
“As a frequent guest at B&Bs the quality of Bay Tree was more like a 4 Class Hotel. Incredible rooms cos i peaked in the ones without anybody occupining them and everywhere there was just amazing style and comfort. It has a gorgeous conservatory with a TV watching side and the other with a round dinner table with a glass rotating table to make breakfast time easier. The backyard is like in magazines as well. Probably the best place I ever stayed.”
