We had a fantastic stay at Yalbury Cottage! The place is clearly well cared for, and it shows in every little detail. Our room was spacious, cozy, and filled with natural light—such a lovely spot to unwind. The lady who runs it was incredibly kind, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was a real treat—delicious food served in their welcoming restaurant. Unfortunately, our schedule didn’t allow us to try dinner, but everything looked inviting, and we’d love to come back for it next time. Definitely recommend Yalbury Cottage as a great place to stay (and dine!) if you're in the Dorchester area.

One night stay. Hugely enjoyable. Made very welcome, lovely room with garden view, quiet and one of the best breakfasts I've had at a B and B. Located in a small village with great views but still close to Dorchester and Weymouth. Unfortunately the restaurant wasn't open on the evening I was there. I was warned in advance so it wasn't an issue, but hopefully will return for longer and get to experience more delicious food. Thank you to the owners.

Very helpful and friendly staff. It was a great experience watching the sunrise and seeing the view of the sheep/lambs

Ten out of ten all round!
My wife and I had a wonderful 2 night stay at Yalbury Cottage. Our only disappointment was that their restaurant was closed on Tuesday night but the Wise Man Inn in the next village proved an able substitute. The cottage is really in the heart of Dorset countryside and it was a real surprise to look out of our bedroom window and see Llamas grazing in the field.
We did have dinner on Wednesday night and it did not disappoint starting with gorgeous canapés through to a fantastic dessert. Ten out of ten all round!

Yalbury Cottage is a charming C17 building located a few miles to the east of Dorchester. It has an excellent (but pricey ) restaurant (see separate review) Our room was very comfortable and I felt this was country house style but quite reasonably priced. There are various walks nearby and it is quite near to Thomas Hardys cottage.

Exceptional hotel just outside Dorchester
Mine was a solo stay for one Saturday night. It’s a lovely clean and comfortable room in a family run country hotel with friendly and generous hosts. I hadn’t booked a table in the restaurant and it was full to capacity but the chef made a delicious light meal for me which I ate in the lounge. Everything about my stay was exceptional.
