Great welcome from Mel and Tom. Our luggage was carried up (we’re too old to manage). Our suite was impeccably furnished. Super comfort and attention to detail. Every need was catered for, from fresh milk in the fridge to a proper coffee machine, luggage scales and sewing kit as well as iron in wardrobe. Lovely toiletries. Comfy bed with soft mattress cover and good cotton bedding. Delicious breakfast cooked to order for my husband. Quality ingredients. Artisan bread for toast.

We were on the top floor of a Georgian property so obviously there can’t be a lift. Fortunately we had takeaway food from nearby Waitrose so could stay in and eat in our comfy suite. The pillows were a bit hard. My breakfast pancakes were hard and a bit odd, not “pancakey “. I know I should have mentioned this at the time but I didn’t want to spoil the happy atmosphere and everything else was great.

The property is centrally located, which means all places of interest are within a reasonable distance. The host was very welcoming and accommodating. The property is finished to a high standard and all needs are catered for. Our room was facing the road, but I have to say we did not experience any noise or a disturbed nights sleep. Breakfast was delicious and there was an excellent choice, there were also a variety of jams and marmalades to choose from. (4 night stay)The rooms are cleaned daily and the standard of cleanliness is excellent. We would definitely recommend this property and we will return again.

I stayed with Karl and Jocelyn last Thursday and I cannot praise their hospitality more! The premises are stunning, my room was spacious, immaculate and well-equipped, and the morning breakfast was absolutely delightful! But above all, Karl and Jocelyn as hosts are so welcoming, caring and warm - they really make the house feel like a home to guests. In fact, I didn’t even feel like a guest, I was made to feel like part of the family! A wonderful stay with wonderful hosts. Thanks so much again, Karl and Jocelyn!

Friendly reception. Lovely tasty breakfast with plenty of choice. Comfortable beds and high quality bathroom/towels. Lots of little helpful touches surrounded by Old world ambience and excellent High Street location for amenities. Circumstances meant we couldn't be provided with two single beds but were accommodated instead in a very pleasant upgrade room with very large bed and independent duvets. Karl and Jocelyn, thanks very much for looking after us so well.

All suited me fine.

Beautiful guest house in the heart of Dorchester. Lovely room and bathroom with a very comfy bed. The rooms had a great range of amenities especially the small and useful fridge which was stocked with water and fresh milk. Breakfast in the morning was absolutely fantastic, no request was too big! Big thank you to hosts Karl and Jocelyn ( and their gorgeous dog!) for being so friendly, attentive and for making me feel comfortable on my stay! 100% would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area!

The room was a very pleasant surprise as it consisted of three rooms - bedroom, bathroom and small lounge. The hosts were super and nothing was a problem to them. The breakfast had an extensive menu and was top quality. The location was in the centre of Dorchester which was ideal. Parking in the nearby council carpark was not a problem. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

nothing really.

Karl and Jocelyn were fabulous hosts. New to the business they gave us a friendly, welcoming stay. Breakfast was generous with many choices. All facilities were thoughtful and plentiful. Definitely a place we'd return to.

Parking wasn't ideal but manageable. There are a lot of stairs in the house, if you're less mobile. Nothing Karl and Jocelyn can do about either circumstance.

Friendly greeting from our host Tom on arrival set the tone. 2nd floor Room/suite was large and well appointed. Very clean. Great shower, secondary double glazed, handy as its on a main road. Useful air cooler in the room. Full English breakfast was well cooked, perfect bacon, endless toast and coffee, cereal and fruit, help yourself. Large choice of favoured jams & marmalades. Situated on busy road with pubs, tearooms amenities. 10 mins walk from town centre and rail stations. Borough gardens 4 mins. Perfect

No complaints

We came to stay for one night to begin our honeymoon, we had a lovely stay and were welcomed by a box of chocolates and card to congratulate us on our recent wedding. The room was a very good size as was the bathroom, lovely big bath, toiletries and added extras like cotton pads etc were a lovely touch. Very handy to find an iron and ironing board in the room along with a hair dryer and other essentials, every need has been thought of. We had double doors on our room which opened onto a very small but very charming seating area which was an added bonus to an already fab room. Breakfast was delicious, quick service and cups were never empty :) Can't wait to come back and stay again.

We arrived at this stunning property only a few days after the new owners, Jocelyn and Carl took over. They are a delightful couple and fantastic hosts who did everything to make our stay memorable. We were part of a family group of four couples and we were all impressed by the tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable rooms. Breakfast in the conservatory was lovely.
