Tracy was absolutely lovely and super accommodating to us during our stay. The grounds were beautiful, the room was spacious and clean and to top it off, we were even left with a little breakfast hamper in the morning. We could not have asked for a better place to stay, we just wished we had booked it for longer.

Built in 1635, The Old Tea House provides bed and breakfast in one of Dorchester’s oldest houses. With free Wi-Fi, this Dorset guest house serves homemade food including a full cooked breakfast.

The guest room features a four-poster bed, desk and tea and coffee facilities, and spacious private living room with TV and DVD player. There is also a private bathroom with shower.

The breakfast is five star! The chef will fix whatever you request, but we highly recommend the full English breakfast. Or start your day with fruit and yogurt, scones, pastries, or eggs anyway you love them. The location is perfect. It's a few steps away from two major museums, the Dorchester History museum and the Shire Justice Museum. The Royal Oak is a nice pub across the street, and The Junction Pub has great food, as well. My husband enjoyed the Mixed Grill, while I had fish n chips. We are both Thomas Hardy and fans of T.E. Lawrence. A visit to Max's Gate, Hardy's home is a history buff's idea of a perfect afternoon! The train station, Dorchester South, is within walking distance, as well. There's a lovely park a block away. With playgrounds, and areas to sit and read. We took the train to Weymouth for an afternoon one day, and the next day we went to Morton, Lulworth cove, and Durdle Door. Beautiful scenery. Be sure and ask, the owner, Debs, to give you the scoop on all the history of the house and Dorchester. Both she and The Old Tea House are truly treasures. We loved our visit and we will be back.
