The property was great for our stay as we were attending our son's wedding which was just down the road. The facilities met our needs, my only criticism was in the living room the rug tended to ruck up which was a bit of a trip hazard, but overall we had everything we needed and the hamper was a lovely touch
Very stylish! we brought/cooked our own supper for the first two nights of our stay, eating out at a very nice Italian restaurarn on our last night. Spacious accommodation for us (2 couples) but lots of stairs! Bathroom/loo for the lower 2 bedrooms is up 2 short flights. Only the top floor bedroom has an ensuite bath/loo.Safe, easy and secure parking for 2 cars. but we did all our exploring of Dorchester on foot.
