When I booked I was really uncertain at the wisdom of staying in the rooms of a pub. I need not have worried. The pub is friendly, spacious and welcoming and our room was really excellent. A large and very comfortable bed with spotless linen. A lovely bright room and excellent shower room. As I was going to work there... More

We were staying in Dorchester for one night. This hotel was good, clean, central and great value. Parking is limited but the staff bent over backwards to help us and we did park at the pub. Old windows that do rattle a little but nothing to spoil our stay. Thank you More

Suprisingly really nice rooms, very modern and clean. Staff were very friendly. Parking is limited. We stayed for one night but would definantely stay again. Beacuse the pub looks quite old I thought the room would be too, but the pub and the rooms are very nice. Would recommend to people to stay here. More

The outside of the building had scaffolding up around it which blocked the view from our window but we were told that this was because the windows were being refurbished and the building redecorated. Though the carpark was small staff were very helpful about making sure we had somewhere to park. The rooms were surprisingly large and recently refurbished though... More

Little parking available, on a main road, local boozer with rooms above. So I was getting nervous as I walked through the door. My anxiety worsened as I followed the barmaid up the stairs and along the shabby corridor to the room. But it all turned out ok, because the room had been recently refurbished, with new clean decor and... More

This is a pub on a busy crossroads oposite Dorchester Hospital. There is only one parking place for 5 letting rooms, no free parking nearby. The building is pretty shabby and in need of serious work. The room had been refurbished, superficially, but some huge fundamental problems with the building and the staffing. I had a bad night. My room... More
