Situated in the peaceful village of West Knighton, New Inn – Dorchester is a former 16th-century coaching inn. It blends original features with modern attributes, such as free WiFi and free on-site parking.

The overall ambiance of the Inn is quaint and relaxing. It is set in a rural countryside that is scenic. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and knowledgeable. Since breakfast was included in our stay, the price was a good deal. For an extra cost, we ate in a pub below our room. The food was good. The whole experience was everything I love about England.

    Our room (18) was lovely, super comfortable and the bathroom was amazing and funky. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was amazing - I had the full English (perfectly cooked) there was an assortment of continental options as well. Our breakfast hostess was super. We did have an evening meal on the Sunday and the roast was gorgeous (better than any carvery). My wife had the Nourish Bowl which she said was 'divine'.

    Beautiful building with a lovely atmosphere. Conveniently located and parking round the back of the hotel was a real bonus. Stunning room (King’s Suite/Epic room), which felt like a real luxury! The little extra touches made it feel special too. The food at the hotel was delicious and amazing quality and we thought it was fantastic value for money. The staff were lovely and very friendly. Very clean and beautifully decorated throughout

    traditional mixed with comfort and eclectic design. Bed bed was gorgeous and very comfy. The lounge a perfect size and layout. sofas are as comfortable as they look. The breakfast was fruit, yogurt, pastry and a cooked breakfast, all delicious and laid out beautifully when you come down to eat. oh and your host Debbie is one of the most lovely people you will ever meet. make sure you ask her about the history of The Old Tea House, you will not be disappointed.
