The breakfast is really good and we left with full tummies ready for an adventure. However you do have to share a table with other guests at breakfast.

Top Dorchester Hotel Reviews

Old Ship Inn

Old Ship Inn

8/10 Good
"Compact rooms, located in yard behind the pub, a little noisy around closing time, all quiet after that, not a problem unless you are planning an early night. Shower clean, good flow and hot, biscuits with the tea and coffee, twin beds comfortable but we booked a double room, suggest ringing before arrival to confirm selection. Reasonably priced, would recommend if staying one or two nights."
