A must-stay in Dorchester

Jocelyn and Karl are the perfect hosts. So friendly, beautiful boutique hotel, delicious breakfasts, very accommodating, and always offering suggestions and recommendations that are spot on. Their industry experience and warm nature is such a welcome combination for a hotel. The property is located on High Street as a great location in proximity to museums, shops, restaurants, and transportation. The room was immaculate and spacious for two people with a separate private sitting room. Anything we needed, they had and gladly helped. And with a smile. Other guests were mature. No parties or loud noises from other guests.

Lovely stay!

Lovely place in a great location. Owners were fantastic and as I couldn’t stay for breakfast due to having a meeting early in the morning made me a delicious bacon butty for the road! Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

A great boutique B&B. The owners are super nice and accommodating. The breakfast was perfect. The room was beautiful and spacious. If it were in London you would be paying 4 times as much!
