There is new management ... Forget the bad reviews of 2022 they no longer apply. Service was attentive and friendly. Lovely log fire was welcome too. The food was excellent with something for everyone on the menu. My, usually very particular, friend raved about the Vietnamese Prawn Curry. We are local and hadn't been here for years because it wasn't great but now we will definitely be going there to eat fairly frequently.

The Hotel is absolutely spot on. The staff are friendly and very efficient. The rooms are fantastic, and the breakfast, second to none. The things to do around Dorchester are extremely interesting. Would certainly recommend a visit to the Roman Townhouse and the Tutankhamen exhibition.

We had lunch in the conservatory and received very attentive and friendly service. The menus was well considered, and the food was superb and served promptly. The view from the conservatory was just beautiful and all of the staff were professional and friendly. They made our visit memorable and Max showed us all around the property where we had got engaged - in the dining room - 38 years ago! Memorable.

I wasn’t going to write this review because I know how much damage a bad review can cause. We’ve been here twice, firstly for a breakfast which was delicious and the service was excellent then the following weekend we stayed on their campsite which is excellent, nipped in pub for a drink and chips at lunch which were delicious btw! Then went in for our evening meal which didn’t go great, i wont go into details, but they did try to rectify it eventually after a bit of a bad experience but it meant I ended up with only eating chips again for my dinner. What I did want to say to anyone reading this review is one bad meal or one bad review does not make a bad pub or restaurant! Unless every review is bad, remember places and people have bad days, im not going to pretend I was happy but when the owners realised what had occurred they did try to put it right.
