Pros +
- Excellent breakfast staff very helpful.
- Spacious well heated room. Unusually friendly staff without exception. Rooms in old stable block adjacent to pub so noise not a problem. Great location - short walk to hospital and main railway stations. Great value for money for a budget hotel room. I am gluten free and ate easily at the pub, they had a 2 a4 menu for gluten free diets, incredible. I had steak and apple crumble which were well cooked and tasty. The gluten free cooked breakfast with refilled cafetière coffee was excellent. For this price bracket would highly recommend.
- Breakfast was really tasty and efficient staff member. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Parking was available. Excellent location to the restaurants and bars.
Cons -
- Could do with a mirror in bedroom.
- Minor points, some new sealant needed in places and a new plug for the basin.
- Room was disappointing - mould in the bathroom under the sick; soap dispense was on the floor not in a tray. Decor was a bit unfinished and dated.

Breakfast was great and the staff friendly.
The room was rather spartan but clean and warm. The shower was terrible with low pressure and didn't really work properly. The shelf in the cubicle was broken with the shower gel just lying in the tray when we arrived. The lobby door to the outside had the lock missing meaning the door wouldn't close properly.
Excellent cooked breakfast and good food in adjoining pub. Tea and coffee making facilities in room.
Quite a lot of road noise but perhaps to be expected from central location. TV in room very old and didn't work.
Very comfortable stay with an excellent breakfast
Rooms need updating but they were very clean
It was comfortable, the bed was cosy, it was quite quaint the way the rooms are like mini annexes. The staff were really hospitable, it was close to everywhere we wanted to go and it was decent for the price.
The walls could’ve done with some pictures on (everything was white so it was quite stark) and the bathroom was a little bit tired but it was still a good stay and we would recommend the property
The bed was very comfy, the shower was hot, the hairdryer was good, the staff were helpful. I had a vegetarian breakfast and it was lovely. It is a great location and a great price.
The room was large and clean shower and toilet were clean and nice,inside the junction pub was great and homely meals were great.will stay again.THANKS.
Albert was a true gentleman absolutely first class breakfast and easy to get to from the train station also in the centre of town
Location close to shops station buses etc room was clean and tidy and above average size large comfortable bed staff friendly and prices in bar for food and drinks very good decent breakfast parking outside room and because just away from bar etc very quiet
Nothing really perhaps room was bit basic not really much natural light but that's because windows were in the dormer roof due to it being a converted coach house?
Clean, warm, comfortable room. Basic but with everything you might need. Central location with parking. Big welcome from landlord. Excellent traditional breakfast with plenty of good coffee.
Easy access to Dorchester and lovely bar and accommodation

All was good
Great location
Rooms are noisy, and could be cleaner
Great location
The property needs a complete make over bathroom needs doing bad in room 6 and I was shocked that the young girl behind the bar thought she owed the pub
Room was warm, fresh and clean, pub was welcoming and food good value for money.
The mattress wasnt the best.
The breakfast was excellent and all served up and cooked by nanny G who looked after us
Everything was great
Location and free parking
Noise from smoking area outside room
The car Park and thé location.
Finding the hôtel car Park for residents : no sign.
