Classico pub inglese. Le stanze erano molto accoglienti. Posto tranquillo e abbiamo cenato benissimo.
Assolutamente niente. Perfetto.
KarenGermanyAmbiente ist wunderschön. Es gibt einen Billiardtisch und eine Dartscheibe, was die Kinder begeistert hat. Das Abendessen war absolut super.
Das Zimmer hat nur ein Dachfenster, da es sehr heiß war, hat das nicht…

The hotel was full of character. The village location was quiet and very restful. Meals were great and our family room was spacious and comfortable.
I wass very satisfied with our stay so cannot suggest improvements.
MarioGermanySchönes, klassisches Inn vor der Toren von Dorchester. Würde ich tatsächlich wieder hinfahren.
Tolles Essen, klasse Terrasse mit Blick ins Grüne, ruhige Lage, kostenlose Parkplätze, super Bar
Die Duschen und Duschkabinen im Badezimmer sind in die Jahre gekommen und könnten ganz sicher ein Upgrade vertragen.

What we’d check for you here

- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about New Inn - Dorchester
What time is check-in and check-out at New Inn - Dorchester?
Check-in is from 5:30 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does New Inn - Dorchester allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at New Inn - Dorchester?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does New Inn - Dorchester have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at New Inn - Dorchester?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does New Inn - Dorchester have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book New Inn - Dorchester?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
