    The beds were OK and I slept solidly. However, during the night another member of our party heard some noise from the side doors to the pub and from the street.

    This was our second stay and the breakfast was just as great, especially the mushrooms. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The central heating wasn't working so we had an electrical convector heater instead which was very efficient.

    Price was higher than other places we stayed with higher spec rooms.

    Convenient location with free parking. Close to the town centre's pedestrianised shopping street. It's mainly a pub, so pub food and sports TV. Helpful staff provided secure place for my bicycle.

    This is an issue for the owners -Marston not the hotel managment. It would have been more comfortable to have had a simple armchair on the bedroom as well as the ordinary chairs. The floor coverings in the pub and especially in the restaurant part need renewing.

    Staff were very helpful and friendly

    I expected it to be a hotel, but it was a pub with no front desk. This is a little inconvenient for people who don't know Dorchester - no one to ask things from. Also initially a couple of things didn't work - the shower was too hot, and the web took time to get working. It would have helped to have the breakfast start at, say, 7.30, because I was attending a conference which started at 8.00

    The friendliness of the owner and staff. The location was good. The breakfast was generous, though frankly I normally only eat vegetarian.

    The mattress could have been a little more comfortable and the bed was very springy.

    location was ideal for us to visit the dorchester county show. room and bathroom clean and comfortable, with plenty of towels. toiletries supplied. breakfast was included, gluten free and dairy free options were were not a problem. when I didn't make breakfast a kind member of staff unexpectedly offered my husband to make a bacon sandwich for me. a really kind gesture! All the staff were really helpful throughout our stay.
