Staff recognized that taking luggage upstairs would be difficult for us (in our 70’s) and offered to change our room to a ground floor one. No one else on our month-long trip did that. Restaurant was very nice and provided great meals.

Had an amazing stay at the George Albert Hotel and Spa for my partner’s birthday and our anniversary! We got a hot stone massage and spent two super relaxing hours in the spa — it was just what we needed. The staff were all lovely and really made us feel welcome and taken care of. We also grabbed some food from the bar/restaurant, which was absolutely delicious. Honestly, can’t recommend this place enough if you’re after a chilled-out getaway. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The unit we stayed in was built in 1660 and has a thatched roof. I was very interested in this and the hosts were very friendly and willing to tell me about the thatch. I learned a lot.

Dorchester central flat

The apartment was beyond my expectations in every aspect. Excellent communication from the host in collecting keys. The apartment was very clean and tidy and was very well appointed. There is nothing I could fault. I loved the shower in the bathroom. The lounge area was certainly bigger than expected which was great. I would certainly stay here again and I think the apartment is suitable for both business travelers and people wanting to spend a holiday in Dorset. There are plenty of car parks nearby the property so I had no issue parking. The fact that they were free from 6pm to 8pm was certainly a bonus. The one I used was Durngate Street car park which is actually visible from the lounge and bedroom windows of the apartment. The parking spaces are narrow in Durngate Street car park but everyone that parked there did park nicely so I had no issues getting in and out the car.

We've wanted to visit Dorchester Museum for a long time. It did not disappoint. So much Dorset-specific and some fabulous fossils! Lovely cafe in the museum too. Market Day is a Wednesday in Dorchester best visited in morning as they wind up early afternoon.

Wasn't sure what to expect but have to say Dorchester wasn't very inspiring as towns go. Two railway stations, both a fair walk from the main town streets. There's a museum and gallery but it was £15 to get in so I didn't bother. Not very exciting shops, I believe there's probably an out of town retail park but hard to access if you don't have a car.

Plenty of parking. Good selection of shops. Fair amount of attractions e.g. Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum, within 45 minutes drive away. Local bus service seemed available for some of them. Attractive countryside.

Dorchester is a quaint town that is always a pleasure to visit. It has a brilliant market and there are plenty of shops to visit. It it well served with different museums and the Tutankhamun and Terracotta Army ones are a definite visit for me. There are also plenty of cafes to have some amazing food.

Very friendly reception staff. The hotel is clean and the room was very cosy with a modern bathroom. The location for the hotel was central to Dorchester. With no parking for the hotel, I parked in the top o' town car park which was very safe and was 3 nights for £12 which is reasonable. The car park is also 20 seconds away from the hotel.

The central location in Dorchester was ideal and the car parking behind the hotel essential. The room had everything we needed and the bed and furniture comfortable. We had dinner with friends from the local area and enjoyed the whole evening. The Dinner and Breakfast were very good.
