Good personal touch. Very clean and in a good location to visit National Trust places.

I had a single room. On booking.com, it implies that the bathroom is in the room. The bathroom was private to me, but however, it was across the landing. This wasn't made clear.

The room and bed were very comfortable and the radiator could be used if we needed it. Plenty of hot water for the new looking shower. Nice open rural views of Maiden Castle. A kettle and a good range of beverages which were replenished each day, including tasty local biscuits. Lacked nothing, every detail provided for. We had our own keys and could come and go as we wished. Breakfast was a delight! Extensive menu including a full English with local eggs, bacon and other trimmings. The hosts were very helpful with local information, and pleasant to chat with - but not in any way intruding. Just 10 minutes level walk from the town, very handy but far enough away to be very quiet and peaceful. Very little local traffic.

Loved the cooked Full English breakfast on both mornings, as well as the grapefruit (always been one of my favourite fruits) and proper filter coffee! As a rural lad myself, the quiet location was ideal for me, whilst also being very easy to find; and it's just a straightforward 15 minute walk from the centre of town (and the enjoyably lively Cider Festival that we attended in the beautifully laid out Borough Gardens). The hosts were friendly and helpful; and if I ever visit Dorchester again, I'd certainly be happy to return here. It has a warm and pleasant family atmosphere that you simply don't get in the big hotels and pub rooms in the town (other friends stayed in town to attend the Cider Festival with me, and were jealous of the fact that we'd found somewhere cheaper than them...and their accommodation didn't even include a breakfast!). Heartily recommend staying here!

If I had to find one very slightly disappointing element of the stay it would be that my private bathroom did not adjoin my single occupancy room, so I had to adorn a dressing gown (thankfully supplied by the proprietors) to preserve my modesty when going across the landing between the two. Also, the toilet roll holder was so close to the toilet when seated that I had to contort myself to access the paper. However, these extremely minor issues did not impair my memories of a wonderful stay (and I really loved the roomy shower!)

The location was ideal for my work visit and the breakfast was perfect! The couple were friendly and welcoming and seemed genuinely interested in why their guests were visiting them. It was also a lovely, quiet location and very handy for a trip down to Weymouth beach early evening.

The bed headboard banged against the wall. Although I knew the bathroom wasn't ensuite when I booked it, I wouldn't opt for that room again as it was a pain having to constantly go out - even to fill up the kettle. I didn't sleep well as it was on my mind that I'd have to take my key and go across the landing to go to the loo in the night. They'd also said there was a dressing gown provided for this purpose, but there wasn't. The car park was quite small and tight to manoeuvre around in.

The location is very good , its within walking distance of the town/ town centre.There is a super store/ petrol station nearby but its also on the outskirts so you can go walking and hiking ( maiden castle walk for one ) the b&b is located on a very quiet road and you won't be disturbed at night by noisy traffic.

There is nothing I didn't like. I am not too sure if this place is suited for a family with very young children due to it being a very quiet place especially at night (I AM NOT SAYING IT ISNT)

We enjoyed the stay - had three rooms for family vacation together. Two of the rooms were big like a hotel suite. All the rooms were tastefully decorated. Each room was supplied with abundant tea/coffee/cookies. Bathroom had a variety of amenities for selection. The hot breakfast was freshly made to order with lots of tea, jam, cereal for selection. I had a delivery to the property which was received with no problem.

Breakfast takes a long time when everyone arrived at the same time one morning.

A very pleasant B&B guest house. The single bed was much comfier than I thought it would be which was a bonus. Very courteous and attentive hosts too.

As a single traveller I was in the single room, which was plenty big enough, but the private bathroom was across the landing. Fair enough, it does say this in the literature, so I knew in advance, but I didn’t like the reality of it when I was there. However it was spotlessly clean with plenty of toiletries.

Delightful hosts who were exceptionally obliging, allowing us to check in early & leave our car there after checkout for a few hours on our last day. Spacious & very clean room. Superb breakfast. Wide range of toiletries. Ample extras such as biscuits & bottled water.

Very Occasionally WiFi cut out but this was beyond the hosts control.

The hosts were really nice, plenty of choice for breakfast and I liked that they thought about everything, from shampoos to cotton buds, tissues in the bedroom, robe for walking to the bathroom (for the single bedroom the bathroom is across the corridor). I would definitely recommend it!

The mattress was really soft.
