Totally concur with the review written in June last year. We stayed for two nights and had one of the family rooms in the annexe. On the plus side, the annexe rooms are quiet; the breakfast was excellent (particularly liked the variety of fruits and berries) with a pleasant conservatory, and the staff and owners are very welcoming. However, the... More

Made to feel welcome on arrival. My single bedroom was clean and comfortable. Had a good night's sleep, but awoke to no hot water in bathroom. My son's bedroom he described as tired. Milk out of date on complimentary tray. Breakfast was delicious, especially the fresh fruit salad and berries.The waitresses were extremely polite and helpful. I was surprised I... More

Lovely accomodation. The staff were all lovely, nothing was too much for them. Breakfast was delicious. Would definitely stay there again.

My wife and I arrived at The Casterbridge looking forward to a two night 'October Break' package at £89 per night. We were shown to our room (8) on the second floor at the front of the hotel and were not impressed with the very tired looking and dirty decor, bathroom small but fairly clean, water pressure very poor and...

We were in Dorchester to get married at the weekend and everyone in the hotel contributed to making our weekend special. They were very friendly and helpful, and left lovely little touches in our room for the big day.

I have stayed at the casterbridge now on more than one occasion.

The B&B looks and feels very relaxing, and peaceful. I look forward to working in... More

Well appointed room, friendly hostess. Car park is about 100 yards away (main street of Dorchester is no parking). Very pleasant guest lounge and lovely well presented breakfast made this a great place to stay.

We travelled to Dorchester to visit Thomas Hardy's Cottage. This little hotel was just the job. Furniture and decor could have been in one of Hardy's novels. Expected to meet Gabrial Oak sitting next to the fire. Quaint, Picturesque welcoming and comfortable. Small, delightful garden area leading to the annex. Meg was helpful on arrival and booked us in to... More
