We recently stayed here for a Family wedding in Dorchester. The location is excellent and there are many bars, restaurants and shops on your doorstep. My wife and I had a superior room and it was very spacious and had great natural light with large windows. My cousin and his wife had a smaller room and were not as happy... More

I'm not sure how this property got a 4 star rating from AA because it certainly doesn't come close to meeting the standards that one would expect. Our room had dirty and stained carpeting, dirty bed linen, no hair dryer, a kettle that was completely corroded and unusable, and there was no remote for the antiquated tv. At breakfast there...

We brought our Canadian cousins to stay in The Beggars Knap. One is a vegan and one is a vegetarian. We informed Mark we would be arriving late in the evening. He was on the doorstep to greet us on arrival. He checked to see if we had everything we needed and reviewed dietary requirements for the morning. Mark went... More

The room we stayed in at the front of the house was amazing - very big and had a 4 poster bed. Well heated. Large bathroom but did not have a stand up shower or curtain, only a shower that extends from the tap area. Water tended to go on the floor a bit, and when it was mopped up,... More

What the previous reviews fail to mention is that Beggars Knap offers what might be the most disappointing B&B breakfast in England. Asked if there was any fresh coffee, the owner Mark lied and said there wasn’t any in case there were guests who took offense to the smell. He added that he thought there wasn’t enough room on the...

What a stroke of luck to find this place and a pleasure to stay here. Our double room was huge and full of period features with a very nice en suite bathroom. Mark, our landlord was friendly, helpful and gave us sound advice about where to eat etc. Breakfast was delicious and served quickly. We would definitely stay here again. More
