Very helpful and friendly staff. Beautiful decor and comfortable room in a handsome old building. Food and drinks were top notch. We were staying at the hotel with family and also had additional family meet us for dinner there one night. It was a wonderful experience all round - thank you! We’ll be back without a doubt!

Had an amazing stay at the George Albert Hotel and Spa for my partner’s birthday and our anniversary! We got a hot stone massage and spent two super relaxing hours in the spa — it was just what we needed. The staff were all lovely and really made us feel welcome and taken care of. We also grabbed some food from the bar/restaurant, which was absolutely delicious. Honestly, can’t recommend this place enough if you’re after a chilled-out getaway. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The unit we stayed in was built in 1660 and has a thatched roof. I was very interested in this and the hosts were very friendly and willing to tell me about the thatch. I learned a lot.

The apartment was beyond my expectations in every aspect. Excellent communication from the host in collecting keys. The apartment was very clean and tidy and was very well appointed. There is nothing I could fault. I loved the shower in the bathroom. The lounge area was certainly bigger than expected which was great. I would certainly stay here again and I think the apartment is suitable for both business travelers and people wanting to spend a holiday in Dorset. There are plenty of car parks nearby the property so I had no issue parking. The fact that they were free from 6pm to 8pm was certainly a bonus. The one I used was Durngate Street car park which is actually visible from the lounge and bedroom windows of the apartment. The parking spaces are narrow in Durngate Street car park but everyone that parked there did park nicely so I had no issues getting in and out the car.

    Wasn't sure what to expect but have to say Dorchester wasn't very inspiring as towns go. Two railway stations, both a fair walk from the main town streets. There's a museum and gallery but it was £15 to get in so I didn't bother. Not very exciting shops, I believe there's probably an out of town retail park but hard to access if you don't have a car.

    Plenty of parking. Good selection of shops. Fair amount of attractions e.g. Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum, within 45 minutes drive away. Local bus service seemed available for some of them. Attractive countryside.

    Dorchester is a quaint town that is always a pleasure to visit. It has a brilliant market and there are plenty of shops to visit. It it well served with different museums and the Tutankhamun and Terracotta Army ones are a definite visit for me. There are also plenty of cafes to have some amazing food.

    Dorchester is far too quiet, we tried to get a drink in a hotel bar at 10pm and they had shut. All of the other pubs were shut too. Where we parked our car, several drunk men were staggering around, and this was at 2:30pm.

    Even if we didn't meet our hosts in person, we felt very welcomed. Everything was very clean, the spacious historic rooms were beautifully decorated and the atmosphere was great. In the morning we had a delicious breakfast and the best coffee I have ever had in England!!! We were both sorry we didn't book more nights, so we would love to come back!

    Superb bed and breakfast accommodation. Tranquil setting with stunning views. Hugely comfortable bed and sofa with every creature comfort you can imagine. Nikki was an excellent host and her breakfast ( delivered to your room) was one of the best we have had in any hotel or guest house. Thoroughly recommended.
