Alison was amazing. The room(s) were perfect for our little family unit. Everything was prepared and waiting (we arrive late in the evening on the day of our arrival). The next morning's breakfast was perfect and provided a wonderful start to the day (and additional requests were taken for the next day's breakfast as well - and a spread was purchased so my son could enjoy spread on his toast!). Check-out was smooth, couldn't have asked for a better stay!!

Tudor Cottage B&B Frampton is located in Frampton, less than 8 km from Dorchester and 16 km from Weymouth. The Grade II listed thatched cottage was built in 1540 and Has beautiful Tudor features and a Medieval stone over mantle said to be from Frampton's Priory which was destroyed in the Reformation .

Wonderful stay of 3 nights. We aren’t the first and no doubt the last to be treated to Louise’s generous hospitality. Her culinary and catering background show, as does her meticulous attention to detail. Towels, toiletries, every need accounted for and then some. As she warns, the cottage is small and the steps are steep but her decorating choices and touches are delightful. Be prepared for an amazing cream tea on arrival with cakes and jams, all home made. Breakfasts are equally generous and literally cooked to order. There is a nice 40 minute walk near the cottage, for dogs and people. Thank you Louise, too, for bending with our needs — after flustered arrival per dodgy GPS and heavy rain. Also for popping my soaked gloves into the dryer. 🙂

    Loved the cabin and the breakfast room. The pub area is cozy and well stocked. It's in a great location for exploring the countryside and at the same time quiet and relaxing. We didn't get the chance to sit on the deck and watch the sun set, so we will have to do that next time.

    We had bed and breakfast and the breakfast was exceptional. The room was very nice and it felt really welcoming. Having fresh milk delivered to your door each morning was a lovely touch. The location is great, it is only 5 minutes by car from Dorchester but you are in beautiful countryside. It was very quiet and the owners were great hosts. We will be returning in the summer for sure.

    The b&b is run by two welcoming hosts. It comes with a free parking for 3 cars. I had a spacious room with a private bathroom (a choice of two shower heads), a selection of teas and coffees, and a spacious bedside table top,. It was very quiet at night. Also, there was a nice selection of food offered for breakfast. An added bonus - there were four chattering budgies downstairs.

    This privately owned hotel (one of six) has had a restoration costing £6m and it shows in the quality of the accommodation. Rooms quiet, spotlessly clean & very comfortable The staff are attentive & strive to make your stay as good as possible, nothing is too much trouble. The food is a cut above the normal offering which is reflected in the price; much appears to be made on the premises not delivered in a Brake Bros van. Bar & restaurant lively & well patronised. The hotel has its own car park behind it.
