The Old Tea House
44 High West St, Dorchester, DT1 1UT, United Kingdom – Excellent location – show map
We really enjoyed the ambiance of the tea room & its history. We were overwhelmed with our room with its period style furniture & tapestry. Deb was a fabulous host with lots of charm and charisma. Our breakfasts were delicious with plenty of variety, including a cooked breakfast with pastries, fruit and yoghurt. A truly wonderful place to stay. Definitely recommend.
