It was easy to find and Tom was very welcoming and happy to give advice on where to eat/what to do etc. The room was large, airy and tastefully decorated with a huge bed! It... More

I was very impressed with this place, from the warm reception from Tom, the owner, the quality of the rooms and the attention to detail. Very clean. Stairs only to the rooms, my room had a small sitting room with tea and coffee making facilities, including fresh milk in the small fridge. A Tv, small sofa, table and chair. The... More

There is little more to add to the previous reviews on TA. This is a very good guest house, nice rooms, comfortable beds, nice and warm (we needed that, it was freezing outside!). The breakfasts were excellent and it is very centrally located in Dorchester. The parking situation has already been mentioned and was not really a problem for us.... More

Found this little gem a year or so ago when staying away with work and by chance had the family room available. Since then this wonderful guest house has been our first pick whenever we are in the area, we actually book the family room as soon as we know the dates we are visiting. The rooms are superb, the...

I have just stayed here for one night whilst on business in the area. What a perfect little place. Rooms were beautifully decorated, big, everything you could ever need, down to fresh milk in the fridge, cotton wool in the bathroom, plenty of lights, mirrors with plugs next to them. All of the things that frustrate me when I am... More
