A beautiful setting with character accompanied by outstanding service from all concerned. My father said he has never been made to feel more welcome at any other establishment, he has 81 years experience on this matter. I have to agree. Would 100% stay again.

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.

2/10 Poor

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.

Dirty room, needed a clean. Would not book again.

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.

8/10 Very good

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!)
