Bath needed some attention. TV didn’t work throughout hotel. WiFi was intermittent. We couldn’t stream a film on iPad.

Parking is good directly outside hotel. Waitrose opposite the hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room was spacious. Heating was easy to operate as the hotel had sensibly placed instructions next to the unit.

Would definitely love to return many times but unfortunately we will not be returning ever as they have a NO cash policy Which should be illegal

Excellent size rooms, great shower. Character styling to rooms and restaurant area

Stayed in September 2025

The shower was broken in the room but by the next morning it was repaired and the television never worked it was pixelating the whole time a little disappointed with that

Room was lovely if a little dark and it was kept lovely and clean and stocked up ,breakfast was excellent plenty of choice and dinner was great

A little fridge in the room would have been a great thing to have, we had no way of keeping our drinks or anything cold

The room was really nice, beds were very comfortable, it was quiet in the rooms and the location is excellent

Poor options for dinner; standard fried pub food, chips with everything, very uninspiring for a hotel. Our room was small but with a huge ensuite bathroom, which didn't make sense. There was no usable furniture in the room so we had to keep our clothes in our case, and there was nowhere really to put the cases, so they were always in the way. Which made the smallness of the room even more apparent. The bed was one of those incredibly uncomfortable sleigh beds, much too short for somebody of around 6ft (which I am), so I slept really badly.

Really great location. Nice pub downstairs. Breakfast reasonably good.

WiFi was patchy but it in no way affected my stay.

Beautiful room with lots of thoughtful touches. Excellent shower and bathroom. Location ideal for Poundbury and Dorchester visit.

Very friendly nice place for a night!

I didn’t have a dislike .

Location was perfect for meeting my friends who live on Poundbury. Most of the breakfast was very good .

Only one niggle, your lady in the coffee bar (breakfast) was quite rude and so unlike the rest of your lovely staff. When she eventually brought the coffees she just slapped them down without a word not asking whose was what. Such a shame.

Perfect for our needs. Our son lives in Poundbury so we knew what to expect. Our room was OK, the bed glorious and comfy. Great feeling of calm action in the bar and terrace!

Bed was not quite comfortable.

Suited the setting

Poundbury is a little odd!

Very smart hotel

Stayed in July 2025

All the doors are very dirty around where people put their hands. In the toilets and corridors to the rooms. Quite off putting. Our room was on a corner, (with a disabled toilet which was not ideal) so no privacy, on full view to the properties opposite.

Great location. Free parking. Good food. Excellent staff.

The area was very interesting, the hotel was nice, clean and friendly. The restaurant was good and the rooms were excellent.

I traveled with my partner and our icelandic sheepdog for a workshop meeting in Dorchester. This was the closest place for walking to the work venue. It is also very dog friendly. It is easy to get here with bus 6 from Dorchester South station. We also went to the big field near here to walk our dog. The pub dowstairs has good selection of meals. We had breakfast and dinner. The room was very comfortable. We enjoyed waking up to a view of trees. It is a quiet area in the evening which was very relaxing. There is a waitrose across the place and few nice coffee shops in a 5 minute walking distance.

The old cushions on the bed. Some stains on bottom of sheets. Knowing about the discount at Monart Spa would have been so useful to know beforehand so I could make appointment.

Lovely room that matched the description advertised. Nice touch with the cans of still water on such a hot day. Efficient air conditioning.

Lovely atmosphere, great buillding, wonderful staff, incredible breakfast.

Not a thing.

Beautiful historic building, very unique. Located in a peaceful square with stunning buildings. Hotel food was fantastic, breakfast and dinner, with a great menu selection and the staff were very friendly. Would absolutely stay here again.

Stayed in July 2025

Slightly disappointing to find my room was left unlocked after it had been cleaned. Would have expected there to be a toaster out front at breakfast.

The decor of the rooms, bathroom facilities, comfortable bed, although two mattresses zipped together was slightly frustrating.

Stayed in July 2025

Rooms on top floor vary in size and smaller ones a tad too small

Convenient, park right outside without charge. Clean, simple and a bit quirky!

A well presented 3 to 4 star property that has good accessible rooms with lift. Excellent pub and restaurant with good food and young amenable staff who make you feel welcome. Good breakfast selection and nice restaurant environment. A great hotel for a stay in poundbury or visiting nearby Dorchester and sights at Abbotsbury

Nothing

Amazing property, light airy and spacious

Could have done with a room fridge, over the hottest days of the year!

Great location, big spacious bedrooms, excellent food choices and all delivered with good value for money, plus free car park.
