Wasn't sure what to expect but have to say Dorchester wasn't very inspiring as towns go. Two railway stations, both a fair walk from the main town streets. There's a museum and gallery but it was £15 to get in so I didn't bother. Not very exciting shops, I believe there's probably an out of town retail park but hard to access if you don't have a car.

Plenty of parking. Good selection of shops. Fair amount of attractions e.g. Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum, within 45 minutes drive away. Local bus service seemed available for some of them. Attractive countryside.

Dorchester is a quaint town that is always a pleasure to visit. It has a brilliant market and there are plenty of shops to visit. It it well served with different museums and the Tutankhamun and Terracotta Army ones are a definite visit for me. There are also plenty of cafes to have some amazing food.

Dorchester is far too quiet, we tried to get a drink in a hotel bar at 10pm and they had shut. All of the other pubs were shut too. Where we parked our car, several drunk men were staggering around, and this was at 2:30pm.

Everything was top notch. We booked for 3 adults and 1 kid and we were given 2 bedroom apartment like accommodation which was beautifully decorated. Room size was bigger than average. I never expected this to be this good. Breakfast was included and was one of the best any hotel can offer. We also had dinner and food was scrumptious. Prices we paid was nominal compared to the quality given. Highly recommended . Will visit again for sure. My daughter did not want to leave the property and I promised to visit again.

Character of the property and history of the area. Eclectic interior. Location - access to walks and nearby places of interest plus Weymouth, Dorchester and Corfe. Quirky 3rd bedroom. Kitchen equipped well. Fabulous local pub. Oodles of hot water, much needed after long hikes. Lovely, comfortable beds with variable configurations given before arrival. Clean and fresh linen. Dorset apple cake on arrival - yummy.
