2. The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

Dorchester

"This is the perfect definition of a small english town stay. I loved the vibe of the rooms and the location. The rooms were clean and they provide complimentary biscuits and tea. The customer service was good as my boyfriend needed to catch a taxi somewhere and couldn’t do it himself so the Inn was able to call for him. The breakfast felt a bit pricy, but there was a cold buffet in addition to any hot item on their menu. Their fresh honey comb was really cool!"

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. The rooms are always clean, quiet and well stocked."

Sleeping Bear Hotel Dorchester

10/10 Excellent

"We were greeted by friendly staff and shown to our room.... We were also shown the fire escape so.we didn't have to walk out suitcases through the hotel. The shower was great, the bed comfy... The cafeterias near the coffee machine downstairs were a great idea as the coffee machine wasn't working. Can recommend and will definitely be booking again if we're in Dorchester"

The Manor Hotel by Greene King Inns

"Clean and comfortable room including the bed! Very useful stop off on the way to Cornwall"

The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Large room, good quality fittings, comfortable bed"

Pen Mill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wasn’t disappointed, booked this as it had good reviews and all I can say is they are all true. Staff are so friendly it was lovely. Room had everything that you could need. We had a room overlooking the car park. (Plenty of free parking for residents) We could hear the road, however, we had the window open as we were very warm and it wasn’t busy overnight. Breakfast was very nice, fresh and plenty of it. We didn’t eat in the evening, however if breakfast is anything to go by we will be on our next stay.All in all, we will be going back. Due to location we could walk to the hospital (which is why we chose this) also walking distance to the main town - even though it is up and down a few hills but a pleasant walk."

Crown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely old hotel and our indulgence plus room was beautiful and elegant we loved the deep copper bath where we indulged in a luxurious soak on the night of our stray together with the hot powerful shower the next morning"

Best Western Weymouth Hotel Rembrandt

8/10 Good

"Liked the proximity to the beach and for walking into town. Bus stops close by. Would have liked a fridge in the room, not the cool box that was provided as it was inadequate. Great stay, staff were very friendly, restaurant was decent. Would probably stay at the Rembrandt again."
