Seventeenth-century inn on High West Street in the middle of Dorchester, with a beer garden at the back and bedrooms above. It states plainly that it is dog friendly, and dogs are welcome in the rooms too, though additional charges may apply. Handy for Maumbury Rings and the Frome water meadows.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
