The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. When one of us went downstairs before breakfast was being served, the receptionist volunteered to make him a cup of tea.

While the manager agreed with me that the hotel seemed like "a creaky old place," in fact, it's graciously refurbished, well equipped, very comfortable, and clean. All the staff were cordial and efficient, particularly the dining room staff at the superb-served breakfast. Our waitress, Cary, was delightfully accommodating and cheerful. We have traveled often and extensively, and the Best Western Wessex Royale provided us with one of our best overnight experiences.

Couldn’t fault the accommodation.
However Dorchester town seemed limited with places for a meal in the town itself. Plenty of places for burgers and snacks etc; but had to drive out for a decent meal.
The Keep was a very interesting place to visit. Other places of interest were either closed, or expensive to visit, or you had to book for an appointment.
Fortunately the buses to Weymouth seemed regular.

Although not a large town, there are a nice selection of shops along the Main Street, 5 museums catering for young and old, historical town walking trails and nature walks and a lovely Victorian park.
The selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants will satisfy any foodie lovers requirements, and on the Sunday that we visited, there was an Artisan street market and a car boot to wander around.
Parking is plentiful and cheap, and free 6pm-8am.

Dorchester has the feel of a small town with many delightful old buildings, cafes, pubs and restaurants, all seemingly selling good food. There are many museums in and around the town centre, often easy to get to on foot. There is Roman history here, medieval too, a long military heritage and of course the dinosaurs of the famous Jurassic coast. Too many things to do in just one weekend, and many more attractions only a short car-drive away. The shops? - Well we never had time to explore them!

The Dorchester Museum is excellent.
The Dorchester Museum is excellent. We called in just to find out about the Iron Age fort and ended up learning so much more. Everything is very clearly displayed and explained in enough detail, but not too much. There are some remarkable Roman mosaics, a good overview of a fascinating history of the area, and an interesting section about Thomas Hardy. We were there in cold, wet February weather, so outdoor activities didn’t suit the weather. At different times of the year the outdoor activities in the area have great promise.

We only went for my cousin wedding at the towns registry office, that was a very good experience. We had intended to look around the town on the following day but the weather was so foul we travelled back home.
The town for what we saw had some wonderful historical building, and we would have liked to explored more
The location of Clematis House was perfect for us, in a very pretty village, just a few minutes from Dorchester and a superb base for seeing Dorset. The house was extremely clean and comfortable and was very well equipped to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. The information booklet was comprehensive and contained all the information that we required. The property has a beautiful courtyard garden and is very quiet and peaceful. The welcome tray from the owners was much appreciated.
We stayed in one of the family rooms which was very spacious. There were two rooms, one with a double and the other two singles. It was clean, with crisp white sheets and very comfortable beds.
The breakfast was delicious as well as the food in the evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we loved the location in a pretty village, lovely countryside but also a stones through from Dorchester.
Thoroughly recommend!
Clean, comfortable and welcoming. Ideal location for accessing Dorchester town and neighbouring attractions of Dorset. Friendly yet unobtrusive team. Freshly cooked food. A well loved and cared for, home from home beautifully furnished and relaxing lounges for guests to use in addition to your own well appointed room. Use of dining room offered, if you want to bring back food from the varied restaurants in town.
We were very impressed with our stay and found the staff & facilities met our expectations, to include top marks for the monetary value of our stay. We will certainly stay again at this hotel when we next venture into Dorset. We loved learning about the history of the area and the reason why the hotel is called The Rivers Arms. We wish the owners the very best of fortune with their hotel.
Fantastic place, central to many Dorset attractions and Dorchester itself. Superbly spacious rooms with shower and lovely toiletries, plenty of wardrobe space, comfy beds. Room has tea and coffee facilities with coffee machine.
Breakfast was fantastic with endless coffee and tea and a brilliantly cooked full English as well as cereals, juices and toast (with proper butter.)
The property is situated in a quant setting by the riverbank surrounded by the beauty of nature. Yet,Dorchester and a vast choice of dining area are within just a few miles. The contrast of which offers both the still and peace of the property location and then those seeking a more lively visit, have the bustle of fine eateries within reaching distance.
Fantastic B&B, the best bed we have ever slept in...
Great position on the outskirts of Dorchester,close to a shop
The hosts are excellent and friendly. A very tasty breakfast and set up in a way you talk to other guests. We slept in one of the lodges to the rear which was exceptional, clean and tidy.
All the best for the future Gary
The accommodation was warm, clean and the extra king-size bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and professional. The food was exceptional and well proportioned. At £85 a night including an excellent breakfast it was very good value. Set in beautiful Dorset countryside but only10 minutes from Dorchester.
There were very few staff although I suspect this is the hangover from the pandemic. The staff that were there were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate our requirements. This hotel will now be our first choice when visiting Family in Dorchester. Very comfortable hotel.
Lovely pub in a picturesque Dorset village, very quiet and peaceful. Ideally placed for visiting Dorchester (Maiden castle), the Jurassic coast and Corfe castle. Very friendly pub staff and great food and beer. We were made to feel very welcome. A revisit is definitely on the cards
