      "Great Comfy, Cozy B&B" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 23, 2013

      We were so happy with our stay at Hunters Lodge, it is a bit off the beaten path if you are traveling to Bath or Stonehedge, but it is beautiful country in Wincanton. Hunters lodge was great, staff was personable, very accommodating and kind. They upgraded us to a larger room without charging, got us a crib for our 2 year old, and went out of their way to make sure our son was happy in their restaurant. The dinner and breakfast (included) was great, we couldn't have been happier. The animals were fun for my son to see, even in snow. If the weather was warmer their is a great playground for your kids! The best part was the great value!

    - Hotel Year Built - 1720 Year Remodeled - 2006 Additional Property Description - BEST WESTERN Kings Arms Hotel in Dorchester is a renowned local landmark. And heres why. In the centre of Dorchester, the hotel was built in 1720, but retains many interesting and classical Georgian features to this day. Its also conveniently placed for both business and leisure pursuits, whether youre meeting colleagues nearby or taking in Thomas Hardy-related sites within three miles of this grand accommodation. Were only eight miles away from the seaside too, so theres more than enough to float your boat. The building now offers smartly decorated and tastefully presented rooms throughout. Our comfortable Bistro bar serves a good selection of wines and a real tempting choice of dining. Business users have access to a pleasant meeting room when duty calls, and everyone will benefit from ample on-site free parking. Dare you miss out on Dorset.

    Although the hotel is old, and comes with creaky stairs and slightly archaic layout, it also comes with a bit of history, great location and excellent... staff. I would certainly have this hotel in mind if I venture down to Dorchester again. Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 22, 2013

    We enjoyed our 1night stay.We were visiting friends who live in Dorchester.The rooms are good size &bathroom very nice and toiletries supplied.One small detail which is down to Housekeeing really.The overflow outlet in sink could do with a good clean,very black and grimmy.This can only be seen when useing the toilet and at eye level,but a good cleaner […] would know this has to be cleaned regularly.To find the room first time was like being in a maze but it was not a big problem once we new which way to go..Although there were 2 office parties in full swing with load music ,we could not hear any noise in our room,so were not affected.Breakfast selection was very good.We pre booked cooked breakfast £7 50p pp,£15pp if you do not book it on line or book when you check in at reception.Also wide choice of yogurt,fruit,cereals toast,or fresh local bread.marmalade &jam or honey and plenty of tea,coffee or fruit juices.We had cereal while waiting for breakfast to be cooked (15min)&finished with toast &marmalade.Good value.Hotel on main High St so central for all shops ,cafe;s resturants &museums .Hotel has a resturant but we did not use it ,but it did look nice.Would use again,very pleasant stay and friendly staff.
