    More museums than you can shake a stick at.

    More museums than you can shake a stick at. The Keep Museum and the Dorset Museum and Art Gallery stood out for me. The awe inspiring Maiden Castle hill fort was spectacular and a top attraction Hardy’s house and Max Gate were worth visiting even if you know nothing about the man and his work. Finally a walk around the shopping area is a must.

    The newly rebuilt Dorchester Museum is a must for Art and local history exhibits, give it a minimum of 2/3 hours. The town is quite small but on Wednesdays the market is worth a look. The Keep Military Museum is also interesting. The short walk around the River Frome path is lovely and there are many longer country walks locally. There are several old churches and Maiden Castle and Maumbury Rings to visit. We recommend a walk around the King's newish Poundbury estate, which had a very good garden centre and several shops, and meals in the Duchess of Cornwall Inn there are excellent. Parking in the town is difficult but there are local buses and trains.

    I loved this town - the people were friendly and the city so pretty. We walked the dog beside the river and went to the Maiden Castle in the morning before our journey. I would have stayed an extra day or three if I had realised how interesting Dorchester was.

    Dorchester is amazing, has restaurants, pubs, parks, churches and so many museums. I actually didn't have time to go to everything I wanted to so I would like to go back. There is so much in the nearby area to see too.

    Dorchester is a lovely town; don't miss the excellent museum...

    Dorchester is a lovely town; don't miss the excellent museum, the roman villa behind the City Hall and below that, the lovely walk along the river. Beyond that Dorset is beautiful from Golden Cap and Lyme Regis to the various glorious churches and historic houses and their gardens. Coney's Castle, an iron age hill fort north of Charmouth, was wonderfully atmospheric and gave superb views. Stourhead to the north has the wonderful gardens and parkland designed by Capability Brown. We happened to have visited Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire on the way down, and then Montacute Manor (20 mins from Dorchester - take the guided tour if possible) and Lytes Carey Manor 52 mins away in Somerset in that order, giving a wonderful overview of private displays of power and wealth in Tudor England, (from highest to lowest), all three fascinating and with superb gardens, but the last having the most charm.

    You rarely stay somewhere that exceeds expectations. The space available for 2 people was amazing. If they had a roll away you could easily take 3. Not far from Dorchester and easy access to the places of interest in Dorset. On site car parking and Tolpuddle itself is a lovely Dorset village. The host provided lots of info on eateries etc. And offered to help with any questions. Pricewise you may think the Tolpuddle is more than you usually pay. Dorset is not a cheap holiday area so keep this in mind.

    The hotel is simply lovely; period interiors, a comfortable bar with a great atmosphere, great food and friendly helpful staff. There are also many good cafes and other places to eat all close to the hotel. There's a lot of history in Dorchester, and there are several wonderful museums all within 5-10 minutes easy walk of the hotel: Bovington Tank Museum is just a 20-minute drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and plan to do so again in the future.

    Very friendly reception staff. The hotel is clean and the room was very cosy with a modern bathroom. The location for the hotel was central to Dorchester. With no parking for the hotel, I parked in the top o' town car park which was very safe and was 3 nights for £12 which is reasonable. The car park is also 20 seconds away from the hotel.

    The hotel was in a very small village that was very quiet. The restaurant and bar facilities at the hotel were exceptional and the rooms were fantastic. The location was close to Dorchester and Poole which suited are requirements perfectly.

    a good central location both within Poundbury and for this part of Dorset. The property was well structured and designed both as an inn and a hotel without conflict of use. it was very well maintained and clean.
