The Old Ship Inn

Fun place to stay... own cottage- like room that overlooked the outdoor seating area, convenient location, great price. No AC, but evening breeze cooled things down. Bit noisy early when the pub gets deliveries, but that's quick and minor. Shower door did not close all the way so floor got wet, but that was probably unique to our cottage. Would stay here again.

The young lady Heron was very helpful and polite The toilet rocked Radiator hanging of the wall It hadn't been swept or cleaned under the bed dust on the wooden headboard The blinds we could not open or close as broken 1 could thing the bed was comfortable and clean bedding Wouldn't stop here again!!

The room was on the first floor, above the pub, so unfortunately it wasn't the best place to stay on a Friday night, as it was very noisy until late at night. When we reached the floor where our room was located, it was extremely hot. It was already warm outside, but inside it felt like at least 35°C. There was literally no fresh air to breathe. Luckily, the member of staff was very friendly and helpful, and she gave us a fan, which helped us get through the night. The room and the beds were clean and comfortable. However, the bathroom was outside the room, which I found quite inconvenient, as you had to leave the room to use the toilet. The bathroom was also in quite a poor state of repair. It was fine for one night, but we probably won't be back.

Room was clean and comfortable but the dj and music until 02:30 meant stopping by in Dorchester to break our journey to make sure we were not too tired for the following day was pointless. I thought being a pub they may be open till late but that was too much.

Pet friendly and the manager very helpful. Not posh but clean and everything there tv tea coffee nice biscuits. Lots of clean white towels and bedding. No food there but a very nice weatherspoons next door and in the brewery quarter lots of various up market restaurants and bars minutes away. Beautiful park at the top of the road.
