I must admit the rooms were clean and the atmopshere was reasonably comfortable. However the rooms were awfully hot so we had bad nights sleep, the lock on the door did not work from the inside and there were no "do not disturb" signs, so we were walked in on TWICE long before check out time and without a single...

My room was spacious and clean. The bar below was quiet by 10 pm so no problems there. The location is very convenient. Will definitely stay again.

Rent a room above a pub and you get what you pay for (£60 twin) I guess - the room was fine and reasonably clean, though the shower was the classic British piddle, the beds are extremely springy though bearable. The main problem was the noise from the bar downstairs and even worse the noise and light leakage from the... More

We had 2 doubles and 1 single room, all spotless and well appointed, Parking was fine as two of us were able to park in small car park and the other was given street permit parking. Lunch was great, choice of 12 sausages and 8 different kinds of mash, just right. Breakfast very good too. All the staff were friendly... More

When I booked I was really uncertain at the wisdom of staying in the rooms of a pub. I need not have worried. The pub is friendly, spacious and welcoming and our room was really excellent. A large and very comfortable bed with spotless linen. A lovely bright room and excellent shower room. As I was going to work there... More

We were staying in Dorchester for one night. This hotel was good, clean, central and great value. Parking is limited but the staff bent over backwards to help us and we did park at the pub. Old windows that do rattle a little but nothing to spoil our stay. Thank you

Suprisingly really nice rooms, very modern and clean. Staff were very friendly. Parking is limited. We stayed for one night but would definantely stay again. Beacuse the pub looks quite old I thought the room would be too, but the pub and the rooms are very nice. Would recommend to people to stay here.
