I highly recommend the White Hart Hotel for a cozy and historic experience in Dorchester! The 16th-century charm was undeniable, and the overall stay was very pleasant.Location & History: Nestled in the heart of Dorchester, the White Hart's historical significance adds a truly unique touch to your stay. It's like stepping back in time!Room & Comfort: Our room was comfortable and clean, with plenty of character. The age of the building certainly adds to the ambiance.Breakfast: While the included breakfast was good, it could benefit from more options, especially for vegetarians. Perhaps adding some local specialties or lighter fare would elevate the experience.Parking: Having free parking onsite was a huge plus, especially in a historic town like Dorchester. It certainly eased the stress of our stay.Overall Impression: Despite the small breakfast misstep, the White Hart's charm, history, and comfort shine through. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and characterful experience in Dorchester. Just be sure to consider the historic nature of the building and the potential limitations for modern amenities.Additional Tips:If you're vegetarian, it might be good to inquire about breakfast options in advance or prepare to supplement with additional choices.Noteworthy details: Historic

Didn't stay. Annual dinner with great food and attentive service. Wish I could move it closer ?Food & drinks: Rather than a fixed menu, diners ordered and paid for their choices so loads of choice and all loved it. Cheap no but good value for money

It's difficult to fault, I think the only thing I could pick was that the shower head didn't spray as such, just shot you with plenty of hot water.Other than that, which is me scoring them 99% rather than 100, everything else was really really good. Certainly a place we will stay again. Very helpful as we arrived shortly before the restaurant took last orders, and departed before the official start for breakfast - we asked the night before and they provided a couple of bacon sandwiches to go as we checked out.This is what the hospitality business needs. Well done all.

The property is lovely, it's such a nice venue, even more so with the Xmas decorations and lights. All the staff were polite, and genuinely friendly, there was a nice vibe all round at The White Hart. We also dined there that evening and the food was outstanding, we both had the Christmas Turkey and trimmings, it should be on the menu every Sunday, loved it. We'll definitely be back again for more visits, as it's a great location. A big Thanx to Jonathan, went above & beyond for us, much appreciated!Nearby activities: Close links to London and Oxford, plus Bicester Village shoppingWalkability: The town itself is very flat so easily walkable. Plenty of pubs and very picturesque

Lovely place for a short break. Dorchester Abbey is really well worth a visit.

Awful food and service. Terribly quality of food and taste. Sat down with a Groupon voucher, we were never explained that this does not cover the full amount of price, we were rather lead to the impression that we could order anything with a bill coming over 70 pounds. Never again! And a service charge of £10, with what service exactly? We were the only costumers. Worst restaurant experience.

Unfortunately, even though Marie the Receptionist and Dawn are extremely friendly helpful and go out of their way to oblige, the actual hotel is in need of major refurbishment, more pride over the cleanliness of bedrooms, restaurant etc are drastically needed! Our bedroom was up some steep stairs, the room was very dusty and the bathroom not very clean. Our room was extremely unhealthily hot. The radiators were on full and the heated towel rail in the bathroom you could burn yourself on. From when we checked in it wasn't straight forward, it said in reception to go to bar and ask for Jonathan which we did. We were answered with I'm not Jonathan but I will let him know you are here, go back to reception to wait. We did and who met us was the man we had spoken with in the bar. He said I am South African so I am very Sarcastic. Once we had seen our room we explained how hot it was we were given a fan. The window in our bedroom was about a foot and a half square with a broken latch. Our bedroom door rattled as the downstairs door had to be left open at the bottom of the stairs at night till a certain time! The dining room tables had marks on also around the windows and beams in the dining room were covered in long cobwebs. You had an extremely long wait on receiving food as they were extremely short staffed, and on top of that charged a 12.5% surcharge on your bill. Unfortunately, Jonathan who was the manager of the day was very unkempt, extremely sarcastic, and swore very badly about his job and I'm afraid in the wrong job. Considering we had booked this reservation back in January and explained we were Disabled and also celebrating our Wedding Anniversary it was extremely disappointing. We stayed just one night and checked out as it was unacceptable to stay in conditions like that. We had travelled over 4.5 , hours to our destination, but very pleased to say found a beautiful Hotel in the Cotswolds which was on the opposite side of the scale. Extremely clean, staff were exceptional. This was our first holiday in over 4 years and it was a much needed break, we would just like to say again that Marie and Dawn the receptionists we dealt with online and in person were lovely, it's the Manager Jonathan and the hotel itself that needs a major overhaul, (apologies Jonathan).

A large group of us went to the Dorchester for lunch yesterday. We pre booked due to numbers and without exception, all staff we had contact with were just brilliant. So helpful. Lovely venue and food was perfect. Thank you all so much! We will return!

Lovely little hotel. Charming setting and rustic. Enjoyed breakfast and a meal in the restaurant as well. Enjoyed how child friendly it was. Thanks

For the price, the rooms were okay. They were a little dirty and one of the spot lights did fall out of the ceiling in the bathroom, but otherwise, the bed was comfy and I had everything I needed.Dinner was also okay, I had the pork belly but it didn't come with a sauce or gravy to tie the dish together so it ended up being a bit dry.Breakfast was sub par. I did expect better.All in all, I will consider staying again, but I think by spending a little extra, you could get a bigger room and an altogether nicer experience.
