The rooms were small but in a cute cozy way, not a cramped stingy way. They have aircon, which is a rarity in UK, but essential for a good night's sleep in summer, so that was wonderful. The bed was super comfy. The staff very friendly and helpful. The location is quite rural, but a good centre for exploring. The coast is 20 minutes, Dorchester 15 minutes. The included continental breakfast also adds value.

    Dorchester is a quaint town that is always a pleasure to visit. It has a brilliant market and there are plenty of shops to visit. It it well served with different museums and the Tutankhamun and Terracotta Army ones are a definite visit for me. There are also plenty of cafes to have some amazing food.

    Dorchester is far too quiet, we tried to get a drink in a hotel bar at 10pm and they had shut. All of the other pubs were shut too. Where we parked our car, several drunk men were staggering around, and this was at 2:30pm.

    I have been a member of the Museum for 40 years so loved seeing all the new building and clarity of the modern lay-out. My passion for the iconic water-meadows of the wonderful River Frome gave me hours of searching out the old archaeological sites and remnants of the historic sluices. The restaurants are plentiful and all different which makes eating out an event. The X Jurassic coast buses are a wonderful way to see the rest of Dorset and the famous Hardy country. I defy anyone to be at a loss when visiting that ancient literary and agriculturally unique part of Dorset.

    Dorchester was everything we wanted- we visited Poundbury as friends recommended it. We were pleased we went but wouldn't go back again as there were so many places around just as enjoyable. Dorchester and surroundings were a joy but finding the jewel in the countryside the amazing The New Inn, in West Knighton made it special for us

    Dorchester has wonderful architecture and history.

    Dorchester has wonderful architecture and history. Many beautiful places to visit without needing to use the car. Walking the path along the River Frome from Hangman’s Cottage to Fordington is very tranquil with benches to stop and sit to view the wildlife. One must view the Roman villa that is displayed behind the County Hall.
