The location of Clematis House was perfect for us, in a very pretty village, just a few minutes from Dorchester and a superb base for seeing Dorset. The house was extremely clean and comfortable and was very well equipped to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. The information booklet was comprehensive and contained all the information that we required. The property has a beautiful courtyard garden and is very quiet and peaceful. The welcome tray from the owners was much appreciated.

Built in 1635, The Old Tea House provides bed and breakfast in one of Dorchester’s oldest houses. With free Wi-Fi, this Dorset guest house serves homemade food including a full cooked breakfast.

The guest room features a four-poster bed, desk and tea and coffee facilities, and spacious private living room with TV and DVD player. There is also a private bathroom with shower.

The breakfast is five star! The chef will fix whatever you request, but we highly recommend the full English breakfast. Or start your day with fruit and yogurt, scones, pastries, or eggs anyway you love them. The location is perfect. It's a few steps away from two major museums, the Dorchester History museum and the Shire Justice Museum. The Royal Oak is a nice pub across the street, and The Junction Pub has great food, as well. My husband enjoyed the Mixed Grill, while I had fish n chips. We are both Thomas Hardy and fans of T.E. Lawrence. A visit to Max's Gate, Hardy's home is a history buff's idea of a perfect afternoon! The train station, Dorchester South, is within walking distance, as well. There's a lovely park a block away. With playgrounds, and areas to sit and read. We took the train to Weymouth for an afternoon one day, and the next day we went to Morton, Lulworth cove, and Durdle Door. Beautiful scenery. Be sure and ask, the owner, Debs, to give you the scoop on all the history of the house and Dorchester. Both she and The Old Tea House are truly treasures. We loved our visit and we will be back.

During the week, The Old Ship Inn is a picturesque traditional pub and on Friday and Saturday nights it transforms into a lively venue for karaoke, DJs, and live bands until late into the night. In the very centre of town, Dorchester’s oldest pub offers en-suite rooms, Wi-Fi, and on-street parking nearby.

The staff were brilliant and very accommodating. The room was spotless and cozy and the food was perfect.

2 room options are available at the bed and breakfast, a Waterside Room and a King Room. The Waterside Room features a balcony with views overlooking the river and meadows. The King Room is located in the main house and features an extra large bed.

Outstanding in every regard. A very unusual room with a wonderful view visible through a window that filled one wall or from the balcony outside. Great hospitality - especially having breakfast brought to our room. Wonderful.

In the centre of Dorchester, The Casterbridge provides comfortable accommodation a 20-minute drive from Weymouth coast. Hardy’s Cottage, where Thomas Hardy was born, is less than 3 miles from the building.

Slept like a log! Lovely breakfast just as requested. Soft poach eggs and tasty warm sausages. Just what was needed on a cold, sunny morning. Thank you.

Beautiful property, I loved the ethos of the owners and that carried itself through the whole property and into my stay. The information book should be used as a proforma. The goodies were very welcome and there was a sense that the owners really cared

    The location for our family gathering was perfect as it was the other side of the village. The owner greeted us warmly when we arrived and was extremely helpful in telling us where we might east on arrival. We had a walk around the grounds which were lovely. Breakfast was good and the service was friendly. We will certainly return.
