Fantastic stay in the Casterbridge Hotel. It was a last minute booking, but that didnt worry the lovely owner. The hotel was beautiful and clean, we stayed in a room with a four poster bed which was amazing. The hotel decor is in keeping with the age of the building and looks beautiful. The owner was extremely knowledgeable and helpful on the best places to eat and things to do in and around Dorchester. Breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked and local produce, pleanty of choice. We will definitely be back

Bizarre
Very strange place.
Eccentric rule about NO SHOES in bedrooms.
Odd ability only to serve me breakfast at 9.45 in an empty restaurant
Bizzare parking arrangemnts off-site
All door locks work backwards
And finally , protracted argumets with manager who disputed whether I had prepaid (I had), and whether I had paid for breakfast (I had)
An absentee owner was barking orders into his phone while I discusse all this
All in all a very eccentric stay
