The bed was awful it squeaked everytime I moved

Did not have breakfast

Stayed in April 2024

We didnt mind the noise from the pub. unfortunately before the pub closed the fire alarms where set off and it took a long while for the alarm to be turned off, as it was a false alarm.

As we was visiting family, the accommodation was perfect. It would of been nice if breakfast had been available. The room was cosy and well stocked with tea and coffee. Unfortunately it was very dusty with cobwebs at the top of the wall and behind the very small tv that didnt work and there was no remote control to.

A bit cold. Radiator not effective

Quite and comfortable. Affordable parking close by

Unwelcoming, dank, musty corridor and stairs up to rooms. The bathroom needs a complete overhaul to combat creaking, old fashioned, but clean, appearance. Mine host didn’t offer to carry my bag (I’m not young) to clean but noisy (directly above bar) small room. A club chair or two in the room instead of the wardrobe would be helpful. I didn’t expect a view but felt the room overpriced.

Host offered free drink as I arrived as the Booking system up the spout so I had to wait half an hour before I suggested going to the room.

Road noise, poor mattress.

Had a pub

Stayed in September 2023

The pub outside the room is as a bit tired and there wasn’t any food.

Pub looks a little tired and stairs were grubby but the room was clean and comfortable with everything we needed.

There was black mould ingrained in the bathroom grout and between tiles, not great to look at and a bit of similar in the bedroom too. This may be an issue to anyone with sensitive asthma, presumably there is a damp issue. Not a significant problem for me (though I did feel like I didn't want to touch the shower tiles) - other than that the bathroom was functional, albeit small. No shampoo/gel supplied but I'd read other reviews so was prepared. Toilet paper was supplied. Mattress obviously cheap and flimsy but I wasn't expecting more than a place to lay my head.

Check-in was nice and easy, just introduce yourself at the bar, and I got the feeling they were ready for me whenever I rocked up. Friendly too, a quick show-round all that was required. After checkout, they were also happy to look after my case until I was ready to leave Dorchester and again, again all smiles and this leaves a pleasant taste in the mouth. Other reviewers mentioned the noise from the pub downstairs, I can't comment as I didn't get back until after it had closed, but it seemed to be keeping regular pub hours even at the weekend, so this would only be an issue if you have kids along for the trip. Tea/coffee and kettle were supplied, but no means of cleaning the cup between my 2 days, no worries, rinse round with handsoap and fingers. The single room is pretty low priced so I was expecting what I got, and everyone was friendly and the room quiet enough at night (facing back of hotel).

The bed was like a slate. The shower and toilet room was very small and dimly lit. Building work going on until 6pm and starting again before 8am. No food was available and parking is a few minutes walk away. This is despite the page for the place, on this site, saying there was parking and a restaurant.

The room was quite airy and clean. Plenty of Tea and Coffee available. It's a short walk into town for cheaper beer and available food. Dorchester is a very nice town with a variety of pubs and restaurants and, thankfully, free overnight parking.

The bed was very noisy.

It was close to the town centre, without being too close.

While the shower didn't make me want to leave my slippers on while using it, there are some black mold in some of the corners and the space between the tiles. It would definitely freak out most people while it wouldn't take much effort to fix. The other thing is the bed. While it provided a good night sleep (because I was dead tired each night) the structure is really shaky and feels like it wants to fall apart on each turn. It could use some maintenance.

The place is above a pub which provides some free time opportunities and it is perfectly okay for overnight stay within the price range. The negatives I point out here does not make me regret my decision to stay here at all and would consider it again the next time around.

The corridors and paintwork could have been cleaner

the room

Stayed in June 2023

The pub was a bit of a dive. We did not feel like having a drink or a meal there so went elsewhere. As the room was quite OK we just kept to ourselves.

The room was quite comfortable and quiet with an adjoining old-fashioned bathroom.

Stayed in June 2023

The bed was very creaky, the mattress very lumpy. Suggest renewal of both

Location was excellent for exploring the beautiful town. Mark was extremely helpful and welcoming. The shower was superb.

Bathroom was a little on the small side, and difficult to find parking. Otherwise was a very pleasant stay!

Didn’t have breakfast

Stayed in June 2023

No parking at the venue. Facilities and cleanliness, especially the bathroom/shower could have been better.

Booking in was easy and suited our timescale. Position was good for central Dorchester and for our needs.

It was noisy at night but it is a lively pub and it was quiet after 11.30pm. No breakfast but the team suggested a small cafe nearby which was great

We are cyclists and the management provided secure storage for our bikes. The rooms were comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly and provided a wholesome evening meal reasonably priced.
