Love, love, love this inn. Amazing property in a beautiful village. Lots of great, easy walking spots. There is a bus from Dorchester station that takes you to a stop right next to the inn. YES!! Also, the food and drinks at the inn are a homerun plus. Love, love, love this place.

Fabulous accommodation in a chocolate box village

The room was beautifully appointed, modern within a heritage building. There were lots of fresh milk and decent coffee bags available. The adjacemt pub was clean and tidy, the evening meal was great and breakfast was superb.

Great Choice for Short Break in Rural Dorset

A lovely night's stay. Excellent food in restaurant/bar. Friendly and attentive service by staff and owners. Comfy room with plenty of space. Perhaps lacking some of the character of some of the other rooms, but this was clear from the description when booking. Enjoyed strolling round the very picturesque village and old Abbey area of Cerne Abbas.

Rooms with a pub

Good room, next to the pub. Breakfast was good, but felt the dinner was a bit overpriced. Good service - the staff were very friendly and helpful. Also, beware - there is also a New Inn in Dorchester (about 10 miles away), which comes up first in Google Maps. Make sure you go to the right one!

Had an amazing stay at this hotel. The Wrackle room is so beautiful, keeping much of its original charm. The staff cannot do enough for you, and welcome everyone like an old friend. The pub is known for its great food and comfortable atmosphere. As a woman travelling alone, I felt safe, secure and looked after. They provide late checkout as standard with all guests to leave by 11am. Would 10/10 on all review areas.

Beautiful hotel

Beautiful hotel, very small car park so had to park on the road but alot of spaces so wasn’t a problem. Such warm welcome and honestly couldn’t do enough for you. Bed and room lovely and clean and so comfy. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to perfection. Definitely worth the 6 hour drive. Can’t wait to come back. All the people we met walking around are so lovely and friendly was such a breath of fresh air. Thank you
