This hotel was great value for the money. It’s a 15 min walk from Dorchester train station and the first impression when you enter the hotel is very good. Clean and well decorated. The reception staff was very friendly and informative.  Our room was basic but very clean and the bed very comfortable .

The staff were very helpful. They helped me to bring the heavy luggage upstairs no matter check-in and check-out. The reception ladies were cheerful and very nice. I will come again and recommend to my friends.

Nice market town. Visit on Wednesday for market. Great choice for breakfast, full English, fruit, pastries. Always choose the smoked salmon.

Very nice clean and tidy hotel, in a very convenient location on the high street with parking at the back of the hotel, the only down side is that the parking is a little pricey for my stay, but do let this put you off what is a very nice hotel, there are plenty of cheaper places to park nearby.

We had an unexpected stay here due to a family member falling ill, and the staff were very kind and looked after us well. The rooms were clean and fresh, the beds were very comfortable. Thank you to the team, we appreciate it.

Restaurant located on the main high street/through road in Dorchester (top of the hill). Traditional old building which looked as if it had been recently renovated to a high standard, mixing traditional and modern decor, nicely done. Everywhere spotlessly clean. Bedrooms decent size and well equipped. To note they serve no food in the hotel (even breakfast). There is however a 24/7 free drinks vending facility, a dining room for bring in food and an evening bar. There are lots of restaurant, pubs and cafes, literally within few minutes walk of hotel for breakfast and dinner. Very limited parking at rear of hotel which is best to book (there is a link to a parking company app to book) when you book your room. Staff throughout the hotel very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended hotel for a Dorchester stay.

A lovely friendly , clean , comfortable ,and central hotel ... The lady on reception was especially nice friendly and helpful , a pleasure to talk to ... Our room was adequate for us , clean and comfortable , The guest lounge was also comfortable and relaxing . The complimentary Tea, Coffee , Hot Chocolate facility was a bonus and very much appreciated ... There is a bar in the evening , so no need to go down the pub and you can also bring in a take away if you wish ... We liked the Thai resteraunt next door and there are plenty of places to get breakfast .. We can recommend the hotel and will certainly return
