Mark was very attentive to our needs. The service was excellent and B&B was lovely. Very quaint. Mark has good taste in ornaments! He even managed to cater for Vegans. Bravo old Boy. Hope you enjoy your stay there too!

We stayed for one night in February and stayed in a room with four poster bed. We were welcomed so graciously by the host Mark, who we could keep informed of our predicted arrival time via text message which I thought was a lovely idea and helped to keep atmosphere friendly and informal. Four poster bed extremely comfortable and bay... More

I have stayed at this bed and breakfast a few years ago on a business trip and loved it so much that I decided to take my wife with me there this year. We had an outstanding room, large bed with 4 posts, and the view was just sublime. I love Mark the owner, he also remembered me from the... More

On a recent driving holiday in the UK we spent a night in this lovely guest house. The owner Mark was a great host and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived and were fortunate enough to get a cancellation. We had a twin room which had a lovely four poster bed plus a single bed overlooking... More

No one to greet us on arrival, key left under a flower pot, the stench of damp as you opened the front door overpowering. What could be a beautiful house needs a lot of money spending on it. At £100 pound a night it was not value for money. Attic room very tired with cupboards full of junk, not ensuite,... More

We were in Dorchester for just one night and chose the Beggar's Knap. The location is great...within walking distance to everything in Dorchester. The room was nicely decorated. It was clean and comfortable. Mark, the owner, was friendly and attentive. The breakfast was tasty as well.
