Pros +
- Clean and comfortable.. good shower
- Great place to stay with a good restaurant offering good value for money with large portion
- Property was clean and tidy, but was showing signs of wear. We stayed in room 4 and be was extremely noisy even just turning over. Some signs of wear to the wallpaper in there. Shower was nice and all in all was a decent room.
Cons -
- Proper breakfast / fresh coffee would be nice
- The noisy bed in the room. Breakfast would have been better if it was a cooked breakfast rather than continental.
- The door to room 15 wasn't put on properly. It is a courtyard room and you can see daylight between the door and door frame. The hotel clearly knew this as they tried to cover it with a temporary draft excluder. Sadly, Network Rail were doing works across the road and without a proper door it was impossible to keep the noise out. Ended up trying to plug the gaps with my clothes. Shame, staff, food and location were good otherwise.

Lovely rooms, clean, well decorated, excellent storage and great size.
Large, comfortable rooms and ensuite.Staff were wonderful, looked after us so well, friendly and accommodating.Thank you all at the Frampton Arms
Mattress was a little firm for us.
For what we paid, the price was a bargain. The pub has a bar and restaurant, all reasonably priced, plus a large car park.
Nothing to do with the Frampton Arms, but the flooding in the Dorchester area was not good. One day, the sat nav took us down 'Watery Lane', which should have been renamed 'Under 4 inches of Water Lane'. Hpwever, there was no problem with flooding near The Frampton Arms, so please do stay there.
Modern smart comfy rooms , everything you need for a night stay
No English breakfast
The room was lovely clean and everything you need for a stay. The food was really tasty, the staff were friendly and very welcoming.
Old and charming with a modern twist. I have an allergy, which they were aware of ( not all establishments pick up on this on booking forms, even though I write it every time) so no need to go through the explaining. Food very good, worth the money (approx £14 for a curry). Will stay again
Was pleasantly surprised that our room was outside of the pub itself, it was a barn style room in a little courtyard so there was no pub noise. Room was great overall for the price we paid. Location is good and plenty of car parking spaces for guests. The continental breakfast was ok. The shower is powerful which was nice. We had an evening meal in the pub on our first night and the food was 10/10. The gammon shank portion size was insane!
It wasn’t clear on booking.com that the breakfast was continental which was a little disappointing but I guess our own fault for not checking. A little information print out in the room would be really helpful and is standard in most places - with WiFi codes and breakfast times/access codes etc. Storage is a little bit small so the room was messy to stay in - the bedside tables are tiny and the drawers on the dressing table are the same so nothing fits in them. The chair also doesn’t tuck under the dressing table and if it did this would create a lot more space. Not a complaint - just something we felt would make things easier.
Quiet, friendly hotel
Didn't provide cookrd breakfast pnly vontinental. Althouhh it was included in room charge.
The room was comfortable and well provisioned. The staff were helpful. The evening meal was served relatively quickly. The courtesy breakfast was quite adequate. The cost was very reasonable - cheaper than some AirB&Bs in the same area.
The room could have done with one easy chair, but that was not essential. There wasn't a lift, so anyone unable to manage stairs would be unable to stay in the main house.
Value for money, clean and comfortable. Nice continental breakfast
Lots of noise from the bar until midnight
breakfast Continental good meal in the evening, reasonably priced
the room we were given was absolutely freezing it would have been nice if it could have been switched on a bit earlier to take the chill off. too cold to bother to change after a long journey.
Location and clean
Bathroom small, pillows thin
Great location for me,room was warm and clean. Lots of hot water and a good shower.Comfortable bed. Staff helpful,loads of parking. Good wi fi
Although I knew when I booked it was a continental breakfast a cooked option would be great
Room was nice comfortable & clean but noisy
Noisy room next to road . Food not great Staff ok
Everything was great, the young lady who booked us in and then served us, the rest of the staff who served drinks and food later, the room was lovely, the food was amazing. The lady who checked us out (the owner I believe) was lovely. Overall highly recommended
Fab welcome, great value food, very fast WiFi, great range of beers and lovely room.
