Let down by small things! I'd stay at the Old Ship again. Switched room mid-stay at venue's request, but I was okay with that. Comfortable beds and great linen. Both rooms were freshly painted and had been thoughtfully decorated.. However, neither bathroom had a shelf - awkward - and one room had only an overhead light. Extra lamp could not be provided on request. No iron was available. More seriously, my second room could only be secured from the inside, meaning the room was not secured if I went out. (A guest had gone off with the only key apparently!)

The website said check in between 15.00 and 22.30. I turned up at 21.15, the door was locked and no one answered the phone. I had to ring around other hotels and ended up paying over £180.00 extra as this was the only hotel that had a room. Do not go to this hotel as they do not honour their commitments.

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.

The Old Ship Inn is the perfect place to stay during our trip to Dorchester and surrounding area. It’s a gorgeous Inn tucked into a very special old pub. Our room was very clean, and the beds were super comfortable. We will be coming back here for sure.

We passed the pub many times, as it was our last night we popped in for a drink. As a family we tend to avoid pubs advertising football etc Staff friendly and welcoming. Good value as well. Half the price we were paying just up the road Wish we'd visited sooner 😊

Sorry that I have to post this but they owe me over 1k for cancellations for 2 months by now. Be aware! I paid in advance in January but had to cancel in May. I contacted the management (mind, 5th since January speaks for itself) with no avail. No answers to my phone calls / emails / evidence what so ever.

Had the halloumi and avocado ciabatta with fries, it was absolutely delicious. The place was clean and the staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for me. First time in Dorchester and glad I picked this as my first lace to eat. Reasonably priced food and very well priced drinks. I'll definitely be back here before I leave next week.

Cheap and cheerful, stayed here a few times over the last couple of months, this time there was a new owner who has re opened the kitchen and the food was wonderful, pub has a great awe about it with lovely decor, staff were cheerful and welcoming, didn’t check in until 11.pm because of traffic and it was not a problem for them. Not the Hilton but nice little place. Will definitely stay again
