The hotel was gorgeous, in a perfect location in the centre of Dorchester. Tony greeted us on arrival and checked us in, and gave us a fantastic introduction to the town and nearby sites. Such a warm welcome, a comfortable stay - highly recommend.
Nothing! We absolutely loved our stay. Fantastic hosts, great location, quiet and comfortable.

Characterful Georgian Building. Room a good size and bed comfortable. Location on High East Street near shops, restaurants etc.
Breakfast not available as mid September is the ‘low’ season. One side of the bed was under a slopping ceiling, I hit my head several times getting out of bed.

Location worked well
Great that parking was included
Room was a reasonable size.
Clean.
Very steep stairs to navigate with luggage.
Mattress was too soft for our preference.
