John was great! So friendly and amazing service! From the minute we arrived he was super helpful and made us feel right at home. Thank you so much for making our stay so great! Breakfast waitress was amazing. We were a little late for breakfast on our last morning but just made it before 9, she was lovely and happy to help! Nothing was too much fuss! Dinner staff were awesome! Helpful and very attentive! Chefs cooking is amazing and would definitely recommend to anyone passing through! The rooms were amazing and clean. We will definitely be back again!!!

Nothing. It was all amazing!

The staff were amazingly cheerful and helpful as usual! Great communication . A very comfortable, warm, beamed room with a nice bathroom, a large comfy bed, a desk and sofa and very peaceful and quiet. Ample choice at breakfast, including vegetarian options and smoked salmon. The handy car park is just out the back. A beautiful place we stay in to visit family and friends in the area. We shall definitely be returning! Thanks for a great weekend.

Only two slight disappointments - several dogs in the restaurant at breakfast. I appreciate it's a dog friendly place and that's great, but I didn't expect them to be right where I was eating, especially as there's a handy foyer right next door. Only other slight negative was my fried egg was fully solid on Sunday morning! Not sure I've had one like this before at their restaurant which is normally absolutely excellent and a wonderful place for an evening meal too.

The room was very clean with a comfortable bed, tea & coffee making facilities, the building is very old so you have to accept the odd thing but overall it was excellent accommodation The bar and restaurant are very nicely furnished and has a lovely relaxing appeal with the oak beams and décor The staff are very friendly and helpful and we received a warm welcome when we arrived. The hotel is very accommodating for your four legged friends The restaurant is very nice serving excellent food The breakfast was extremely good with plenty of choice for all tastes

One thing i didn't like was the 12.5% added to your evening meal bill without any choice but this seems to be standard practice in Dorchester establishments between 10-12.5% service charge added We always tip if we receive good service but like to decide not be forced on us The one thing that was the most annoying is having a drink in the bar before going into the restaurant and asked if I would like them to go on the table bill so not realising that meant my drinks were plus 12.5% of the price in the bar!!! Sorry

It was a lovely oldie worlde hotel. Lovely to have sash window rather than Aircon to be honest. And it was good to see a slip mat in the bath, so my husband felt easier getting In and out. You don't see those in hotels nowadays and so you have to use a towel. We couldn't fault any of the staff. Everyone was really nice and kind. We didn't have an evening meal as we ate in Oxford, but the breakfast was delicious and kept us going until late afternoon.

Wasn't keen that there wasn't a lift, but that wouldn't have fitted in with the hotel.

Restaurant - the food including breakfast and dinner was excellent bed - very comfy shower - nice and hot Quiet in the hotel which was great Beautiful location

Needed a more organised seated area in the bedroom - no small table to go with the two chairs so couldn't put a hot drink down when seated which was odd Just setting a seated area area would have enhanced our stay. Maybe instructions of how to use the TV . We don't go out in the evenings after dinner much so enjoy an hour of tv but we struggled getting it to work easily.

Charming old hotel and pub - Very welcoming staff - Clean room and the furniture is not dated like you might think from the age of the building - Good breakfast made on the spot - Wonderful village with welcoming people - Parking is no problem, you can find it anytime and almost anywhere on the street in front of the hotel.

Instable wifi, if you plan to take calls in the room think of a plan B. - It doesn't have AC, it does have a fan. But we didn't need it during our stay, it actually was a little cold.

Historic buildings. Shower! Ten out of ten, takes 3 minutes to shower. Cleaning. 10 out of ten Honestly. I dont know the person. But our room was sparkling bright..

Was no heating on. We late check-in. Room was very cold. Everything was warm in the hotel except the room. We asked for heating ... Yeah... Room lovely! Very bit cold. Heating was turned on only when more people arrived. Great historic place. Nothing to say about the place itself. Should visit it in summer, my myself I wouldn't recommend it in any cold season, when you go to reception and it's nice and warm , and when you open your room it's chilly.

The lovely old building in a very nice village.

Some basic maintenance is needed, the bath panel was rotting, there was no chain on the bath plug. The toilet seat wouldnt stay up during use. We opted for an evening meal in the hotel. My wife enjoyed her fish. I had chicken which was a bit on the dry side and the only veg on the plate was some very firm green beans. We were given the bill, and as I normally do I prepared a tip. But then we noticed on the bill that a 12% 'Gratuity' had been added. I can only assume that this was the way the staff are paid. We decided not to argue the point as we were tired after a long journey. So the cash tip was witheld. Breakfast was very good and the room comfortable.

My recent stay at this hotel was exceptional. The establishment exuded a welcoming ambiance with its friendly staff and cosy accommodations. The room, bar area, and restaurant were all elegantly appointed. The low ceilings, while initially surprising, proved to be an unexpected asset, adding to the overall charm of the space. The afternoon atmosphere was particularly pleasant, and the morning breakfast was a delightful experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Friendly staff at reception and in the restaurant. Our dinner was excellent; the food was well presented and cooked perfectly. Breakfast was also very good and I appreciated the availability of decaf espresso! Our room was comfortable and spacious. The bathroom was clean. The whole establishment has obviously been recently refurbished to a high standard.

The bar area felt cramped (it's a long narrow space) and not comfortable for a pre-dinner drink.
