Pros:

Le stanze sono in una struttura a parte, ma collegate al pub che fa da reception. Nonostante fosse un sabato con i pub pieno di avventori locali, è stato possibile parcheggiare anche la sera grazie alla presenza di un addetto che gestiva la convivenza tra locals e ospiti.

Decent stay despite building problems
Pros:

Good BnB at reasonable price and in a convenient location close to he train station

Cons:

My room had a leak on the ceiling, and smelled quite damp. Fortunately staff were able to provide a dehumidifier that counteracted the dampness, and offered compensation for the inconvenience, which was much appreciated

Pros:

I liked the rooms off the car park, handy to get things out of the car. Good breakfast too

Cons:

When coming out of the room into the pub or car park there were many smokers sitting outside which made the air unpleasant and aggravated my throat. Shower RM could do with an upgrade - tho clean it showed signs of wear and tear surrounding. Tiles, grouting, skirtings, etc.

Excellent brief stay in the heart of Dorchester
Pros:

Excellent room just across the courtyard from the pub. Service was absolutely superb. Excellent breakfast

Cons:

nothing - though some people may find it a little noisy with the window open on a hot evening especially when the football is on. This didn't bother me at all
