Our room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was sufficient to set us up for the day. The Inn is in a quiet hamlet outside Dorchester and as such is centrally situated for touring Dorset.

Location and privacy of the cabin was fabulous. Hosts were responsive when there was an issue with the shower. Really attractive and neat set up with everything you can think of including your own outdoor space. Nice.

Although not a large town, there are a nice selection of shops along the Main Street, 5 museums catering for young and old, historical town walking trails and nature walks and a lovely Victorian park.
The selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants will satisfy any foodie lovers requirements, and on the Sunday that we visited, there was an Artisan street market and a car boot to wander around.
Parking is plentiful and cheap, and free 6pm-8am.

Dorchester has the feel of a small town with many delightful old buildings, cafes, pubs and restaurants, all seemingly selling good food. There are many museums in and around the town centre, often easy to get to on foot. There is Roman history here, medieval too, a long military heritage and of course the dinosaurs of the famous Jurassic coast. Too many things to do in just one weekend, and many more attractions only a short car-drive away. The shops? - Well we never had time to explore them!

The Dorchester Museum is excellent.
The Dorchester Museum is excellent. We called in just to find out about the Iron Age fort and ended up learning so much more. Everything is very clearly displayed and explained in enough detail, but not too much. There are some remarkable Roman mosaics, a good overview of a fascinating history of the area, and an interesting section about Thomas Hardy. We were there in cold, wet February weather, so outdoor activities didn’t suit the weather. At different times of the year the outdoor activities in the area have great promise.

We only went for my cousin wedding at the towns registry office, that was a very good experience. We had intended to look around the town on the following day but the weather was so foul we travelled back home.
The town for what we saw had some wonderful historical building, and we would have liked to explored more

Only visited for the afternoon and evening meal.
Only visited for the afternoon and evening meal. The Keep Museum is excellent with a great view from the top. Excellent Italian/Fish restaurant "Al Molo" (which was the main reason for visit). Would definitely visit again.
Charming small hotel, so beautifully decorated. Our room was very comfortable. Easy walking access to shops, town walks, and busses (we enjoyed taking the Jurassic Coaster busses to Lyme Regis, West Bay, Weymouth). Breakfast wasn't included in our booking but we added it on once there, very good value. Make sure to try the apple juice! Room had a portable fan which helped keep the room comfortable. The proprietor was very kind, offered many good suggestions for dining, sights, etc.
This was our second stay at the King's arms and we absolutely love it. The location is fantastic, parking included. Food is good quality and the hotel itself has a lovely warm and cosy feeling. Definitely will come back. We went for a special occasion and they gave us a brownie to celebrate this which was a nice touch. They were very accommodating about meal times and happy to give suggestions for things to do if asked. Lots of history all around it which is lovely, great location.
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.
Lovely location in pretty Dorset village about 8 miles north of Dorchester. I used as a base for visiting the tank museum at Bovington - about a 35 min journey away.
The accommation is across the car park from the pub which is fine and the double en-suite room was well appointed and comfy. Staff and food at the pub were excellent and it felt really friendly for someone travelling alone.
Hope to return with a friend to show her the area.
Stayed here for 2 nights. Only 5 mins from Dorchester and 25 mins from Weymouth.
It is a wonderful place-a beautiful Hotel with amazing views, quiet, wonderful staff, amazing breakfast with lots of options, large bath towels, bedroom large and was 100% clean and COVID safe,
gorgeous gardens and can sit out, homemade choc brownies and water complimentary in the room.
Highly recommend
Tip-you can order fresh milk from front desk,
A lovely classic hotel run by a lovely elderly accommodating couple. The price of the room was high due to the relaxation of the Covid restrictions (Staycation period) and the scarcity of accommodation which all contributed to the high prices not just at the Casterbridge but at all accommodation in Dorchester and the surrounding area (Weymouth). All that being said, I would use the hotel again if in the Dorchester area.
We were very impressed with our stay and found the staff & facilities met our expectations, to include top marks for the monetary value of our stay. We will certainly stay again at this hotel when we next venture into Dorset. We loved learning about the history of the area and the reason why the hotel is called The Rivers Arms. We wish the owners the very best of fortune with their hotel.
The property is situated in a quant setting by the riverbank surrounded by the beauty of nature. Yet,Dorchester and a vast choice of dining area are within just a few miles. The contrast of which offers both the still and peace of the property location and then those seeking a more lively visit, have the bustle of fine eateries within reaching distance.
beautifully appointed on the main town street. very comfortable bed and room lovely. high quality fittings especially in the bathroom and nice touches like small jug of milk in eve fridge and iced water too. lovely people running the hotel and the best eggs Benedict I’ve had in a very long. time for breakfast. couldn’t fault
Westwood house.
I love every thing in this hotel. The overall ambiance made you feel special. The hotel was well decorated. The room was amazing. It had a nice view. We enjoyed taking a picture at every corner of the hotel
Moreover, all the staffs were polite and friendly. Moreover, breakfast was superb!
The hotel is out of Dorchester centre but was perfect for our overnight stay. The checkin was easy. We had a meal that night and the staff was tentative and friendly. Rooms quite spacious and loved the radio playing as we opened the door! Beds are really comfortable. Breakfast was great.
Good country inn situated in small village in middle of Dorset, a little further from Dorchester than we expected but enjoyed exploring. Had a good "buzz" during the evening since used by locals.
Good range of food served during evening and what we had was tasty and nicely presented.
Superb Breakfast that outshone many hotels. Home cooked with good ingredients that are not cheap. Bacon and sausages where lovely. Well looked after over the breakfast period. Good coffee to which is important to us.
