"Spacious rooms with a comfortable bed. Good choice of coffee and teas in the room. Roberts DAB radio provided but reception hit and miss. Large wall mounted TV. Very clean. Powerful shower with a choice of normal or "rain".
Good choice at the breakfast buffet with freshly cooked options from the kitchen.
Very friendly staff throughout the hotel. A special mention to Marina for being extra attentive and caring.

"I was late getting to room as working at Dorchester, was given room 3. Seemed clean when i walked in. On closer inspection bed and towels were clean, but the room was very dirty. Spoons were dirty, never been washed, skirting was dusty, looked like it hadnt been cleaned for weeks. I honestly didn’t feel like stopping in the room. It was most probably worst room i have stayed in for years."

"Great stop over for the night. Good value and breakfast included.
Rooms are small but had everything you needed. Aa its on a main road, you can hear the road traffic but they leave little courtesy packs in the rooms that contain ear plugs and eye mask :)"

"We enjoyed our stay at St Johns very much, lovely clean property, friendly owners, had lots of conversations with Andy over breakfast every morning, whilst eating the very tasty breakfast cooked by Lynn, perfect location at the end of Esplanade so away from the hustle and bustle so had a peaceful nights sleep ,would definitely recommend and visit again."

"A lovely old building which could have been so nice but it really wasn’t. On the plus side it was warm ( October stay ), plenty of hot water, a good location for visiting the coast - Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Weymouth. Unfortunately it smells very damp and is in need of upgrading. It also should have been cleaner, especially the kitchen. The surfaces were sticky and greasy, the seals are mouldy and coming away from the walls and worktops, there was mouldy bread in the bread bin. In my opinion overpriced for this standard of accommodation "
"The property is well located and ideal for restaurants and bars. The service and help is very good and kind. The bed was comfy and a clean tidy room. Overall a good stay "
Delightful thatched cottage in beautiful sleepy Dorset village and countryside

"Lovely cottage, we ordered food through the host which was amazing and great to have on our arrival. We did some lovely walks to Dorchester and Osmington. Cottage clean and had all the necessary amenities including a large fridge.Lots of character including a few low beams."
"A lovely little B&B. Louisa and family couldnt do enough for us. She was very welcoming and gave us top tips for our outings. The room was clean, tidy and the facilities were excellent, with a special mention for an outstanding breakfast."
