This is the second time I have stayed due to the convenient location for work. I’ve had the warmest arrival on both occasions. The room was lovely. The bed extremely comfy. And the little touches such as fresh milk and brownies are a bonus treat. Exceptional.

Excellent cottage hotel with lovely comfortable good size room with views of the countryside for a recent stay for work and has ample parking. There’s a lovely breakfast menu but I wasn’t able to try it as had to get to work in the morning. I’ll definitely recommend this hotel which is just 7 minutes drive from Dorchester town. Owner was lovely and makes you feel at home. Thanks

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.
