We had bed and breakfast and the breakfast was exceptional. The room was very nice and it felt really welcoming. Having fresh milk delivered to your door each morning was a lovely touch. The location is great, it is only 5 minutes by car from Dorchester but you are in beautiful countryside. It was very quiet and the owners were great hosts. We will be returning in the summer for sure.

Dorchester has the feel of a small town with many delightful...
Dorchester has the feel of a small town with many delightful old buildings, cafes, pubs and restaurants, all seemingly selling good food. There are many museums in and around the town centre, often easy to get to on foot. There is Roman history here, medieval too, a long military heritage and of course the dinosaurs of the famous Jurassic coast. Too many things to do in just one weekend, and many more attractions only a short car-drive away. The shops? - Well we never had time to explore them!

The Dorchester Museum is excellent.
The Dorchester Museum is excellent. We called in just to find out about the Iron Age fort and ended up learning so much more. Everything is very clearly displayed and explained in enough detail, but not too much. There are some remarkable Roman mosaics, a good overview of a fascinating history of the area, and an interesting section about Thomas Hardy. We were there in cold, wet February weather, so outdoor activities didn’t suit the weather. At different times of the year the outdoor activities in the area have great promise.

We only went for my cousin wedding at the towns registry office, that was a very good experience. We had intended to look around the town on the following day but the weather was so foul we travelled back home.
The town for what we saw had some wonderful historical building, and we would have liked to explored more

Only visited for the afternoon and evening meal. The Keep Museum is excellent with a great view from the top. Excellent Italian/Fish restaurant "Al Molo" (which was the main reason for visit). Would definitely visit again.

An important county town, oozing history, good restaurant options and fine shops. The Council provides helpful parking. The District Hospital was one of the best NHS performers I have experienced, thankyou. Don't miss the museum.
Stunning location overlooking a running Brook. Nikki, the owner was extremely gracious in upgrading us to the cottage from our room in the house as it was not booked for the duration of our stay. The cottage was spacious with a large balcony right over the Brook, could see lots of wild birds in the mornings. Also only a short drive from Dorchester so finding places to eat was easy.
Her knowledge of the Dorset area is also fantastic and she would give is valuable tips on how to plan our days every morning
Charming small hotel, so beautifully decorated. Our room was very comfortable. Easy walking access to shops, town walks, and busses (we enjoyed taking the Jurassic Coaster busses to Lyme Regis, West Bay, Weymouth). Breakfast wasn't included in our booking but we added it on once there, very good value. Make sure to try the apple juice! Room had a portable fan which helped keep the room comfortable. The proprietor was very kind, offered many good suggestions for dining, sights, etc.
The location of Clematis House was perfect for us, in a very pretty village, just a few minutes from Dorchester and a superb base for seeing Dorset. The house was extremely clean and comfortable and was very well equipped to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. The information booklet was comprehensive and contained all the information that we required. The property has a beautiful courtyard garden and is very quiet and peaceful. The welcome tray from the owners was much appreciated.
A lovely classic hotel run by a lovely elderly accommodating couple. The price of the room was high due to the relaxation of the Covid restrictions (Staycation period) and the scarcity of accommodation which all contributed to the high prices not just at the Casterbridge but at all accommodation in Dorchester and the surrounding area (Weymouth). All that being said, I would use the hotel again if in the Dorchester area.
We were very impressed with our stay and found the staff & facilities met our expectations, to include top marks for the monetary value of our stay. We will certainly stay again at this hotel when we next venture into Dorset. We loved learning about the history of the area and the reason why the hotel is called The Rivers Arms. We wish the owners the very best of fortune with their hotel.
A beautiful hotel right in the middle of Dorchester, it has undergone an amazing transformation and we were blown away with the decor, room was cosy, lovely bathroom with large shower, staff were all friendly and informative about the refurb, bar has a great range of beers, wines, spirits and cocktails, food was delicious, good breakfast selection, I had a great vegetarian breakfast

Lovely hotel in Dorchester. The breakfast was great and the staff were very helpful. It was a great place to stay and I very much enjoyed it. I would stay again. A friend of mine had remembered the hotel fondly and recommended it, and she was not wrong!
Great little cottage set in a quiet area with lovely views of trees to the rear. Fantastic parking on residence carpark just outside the rear of the property. Easy walk into Dorchester - always a pleasure to visit and easy commute to the Dorset coast.
The staff were excellent and very welcoming. Hotel is clean and bed was very comfortable. Drinking and dining areas were lively and spacious and the food was very good. Easy parking.
