Exceptional hotel just outside Dorchester

Mine was a solo stay for one Saturday night. It’s a lovely clean and comfortable room in a family run country hotel with friendly and generous hosts. I hadn’t booked a table in the restaurant and it was full to capacity but the chef made a delicious light meal for me which I ate in the lounge. Everything about my stay was exceptional.

Two night stopover enroute to Cornwall.

The hotel owners were very pleasant and helpful. Some aspects of our room needed refreshing. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent.

The staff here care about you and treat you like family (I got a flat tire in their parking lot at night and they helped me call my rental car agency and helped me through the process all the way). The building and rooms are lovely and comfortable with many little touches that make it feel like home.

Ten out of ten all round!

My wife and I had a wonderful 2 night stay at Yalbury Cottage. Our only disappointment was that their restaurant was closed on Tuesday night but the Wise Man Inn in the next village proved an able substitute. The cottage is really in the heart of Dorset countryside and it was a real surprise to look out of our bedroom window and see Llamas grazing in the field. We did have dinner on Wednesday night and it did not disappoint starting with gorgeous canapés through to a fantastic dessert. Ten out of ten all round!

Short but sweet stop

Last minute booking for a race that I had planned. Arrived just before 10pm and left around 7am the next morning. The room was well presented and had everything you needed, good quality coffee, comfy pillows and some lovely welcome brownies. Would certainly go back when I visit Dorset again.
