    Charming Stay with Room for Improvement

    We enjoyed a pleasant evening at the hotel, although we found the dinner sitting quite early. Breakfast was adequate, but lacked variety. The staff were generally helpful, yet some improvements in customer engagement could enhance the experience. Consider arriving earlier for dinner!

    spacious room
    attentive staff
    chaotic buffet
    challenging navigation
    expensive menu

    The room was spacious and tastefully decorated, providing a comfortable environment that exceeded my expectations. I appreciated the attentive staff who ensured my needs were met, quickly sorting out my accommodation upon arrival. Breakfast featured an ample cold buffet, complete with endless coffee, making for a good start to the day. during peak morning hours, the buffet area felt a bit chaotic, and it could be challenging to navigate with my limited mobility. the restaurant menu seemed slightly expensive compared to the surrounding options.

    lovely shower
    limited beer selection

    Just a top selection for a weekend getaway in Dorchester with fantastic value for money. The shower was lovely when no one else used it. Make sure to enjoy the beer selection when it's not too cold outside.

    children's playground
    friendly staff
    coordinated dining
    lack of indoor activities

    We had a fantastic stay at this welcoming pub-hotel! With three grandchildren in tow, we loved the children's playground and spent hours having fun outside. The staff made sure our family reunion dinner was perfectly coordinated, which was a real treat for us all.

    My kids wished for a pool or more activities for them inside the hotel.

    lively pub
    tasty meals
    missed details

    Great spot for train trips!

    Had a nice 3-night stay. The location was super convenient next to the station—perfect for popping into Dorchester! The pub had a lively vibe, and the restaurant served some tasty meals. My room was simple but clean. Just wish the staff had paid more attention during service. a few details were missed, which was a letdown.

    charming vibe
    exceptional food
    best lamb chops
    malfunctioning tv
    lacking entertainment

    i recently stayed at a lovely double room with a charming vibe, and the attention to detail exceeded my expectations. the food was exceptional, especially the lamb chops, which were hands down the best i've ever had in the uk after moving from nz. overall, it was a fantastic escape in dorchester.

    the tv didn’t work properly.

    tasteful decor
    excellent service
    exceptional food
    noise disturbance
    limited privacy

    The stay at Frampton Arms was delightful, featuring a large, tastefully decorated room with excellent natural light. The air conditioning was effective, and the bathroom was spacious, equipped with great water pressure. Dinner was exceptional, with the lamb chops being the best I've had in the UK. The staff were attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall experience.

    The room was quite noisy due to its proximity to the reception.

    Delightful courtyard for drinks and a large garden that kids loved. The noise from the train station was a bit disruptive in the morning.
