"An Excellent Venue"

10.0

We were a reunion of 8 at the Kings Arms, none of us having been there before. We were delighted by the hotel itself, its ambience, its facilities and by the staff who worked there. We had an enjoyable dinner at the hotel on our first night, slightly marred for 2 of us by the unannounced substitution of one fish by another, but that was sorted out satisfactorily. The breakfast was comprehensive and to suit all palates and dietary requirements. The bedroom had all the facilities we needed, particularly the small low level illumination which came on automatically when using the bathroom at night so as not to disturb the sleeping partner. There is adequate parking on site (although we came by train).

"Top Hotel - try it!"

10.0

Good location, room was quiet (we were not on the main road but down the side of the hotel), no view, but will sacrifice that for a good nights sleep. Room/hotel was very clean/chambered. B/fast was well appointed with some of the more unusual choices (ie kippers - excellent!). Devilled kidneys would take it up a level!!! One of the best bars in town - could do with a better selection of real ales - but the kegs were good. Not cheap but good VFM based on performance,cost and time.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the King's Arms in Dorchester. We received a warm welcome when we got to reception and that followed through to the whole of our stay. We took our dog and they were very accommodating. We will be back again

"A comfortable, characterful stay"

10.0

I stayed for 3 nights as part of a group of 6. The hotel is beautifully restored; both the public spaces and the rooms offer a perfect blend of historic character and modern comforts. If you appreciate interior design, you'll enjoy this hotel! The staff were friendly and unfailingly helpful, and the food (breakfast, nibbles, and dinners) was excellent. I will definitely stay here again.
