Useful Information

Arrival and departure

Check in is from 4pm but it’s always possible the room will be available earlier, so please call us and check. To reduce people to people contact you will be sent an online check-in form to e-sign the day before arrival which sets out our T&Cs and requests important information such as vehicle registration number in order for you to gain access to the automated car park.
Departure is from 11am although we are happy to leave it until later if there are no incoming guests for the room.
Please advise the hotel if you wish to arrive after 10pm as the doors will be locked. The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day.

Parking

We have parking available at rear of the hotel for residents, which can be accessed from Friary Lane. (Turn into North Square from the High Street, then first right into Friary Lane and the car park is on the right.) Access to the car park is via number plate recognition so please ensure you inform the hotel of your car registration prior to arrival.

Children

Extra beds can be accommodated in the largest rooms only for children up to 12 years of age at a cost of £20 including breakfast. These must be requested in advance through the hotel because there is a limited number available.
Cots are available for children up to 2 years of age free of charge. The smaller rooms cannot accommodate a cot.

Dogs

Dogs are welcome on the 1st floor rooms at a charge of £15 per dog per stay. However, if you are bringing a dog then they must not be left alone in the bedroom/bathroom at any time unless they are in a secure crate. Your dog can accompany you to the bar and old smoking room, where we serve our full restaurant menu, so they need not spend any time without you! Any damage caused to the paintwork or furnishings by a dog left unaccompanied will be chargeable.

Cancellation T&Cs

With the exception of Early Booker, Non-Refundable rates, we ask that reservations are cancelled before midnight 2 full days prior to the stay to avoid a penalty charge of the full stay. All reservations must be guaranteed with a valid credit card to secure the booking and payment will be taken prior to arrival, in line with the cancellation policy.

Payments

Card details are required to secure the booking and your card will be charged the full amount 48 hours prior to arrival, in line with the cancellation policy.

Getting here

By car
Whichever direction you’re driving from (A37 from the North or A35/A31 from the East), the roads towards Dorchester provide some of the most beautiful views imaginable.
By train
Equally stunning scenery travelling on the Weymouth train from London Waterloo to Dorchester South, which is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel, past the pretty Brewery Square, or short taxi ride away.

Accessibility

Although we have a lift in the building for the 1st and 2nd floors, none of our bedrooms are adapted for wheelchair access.
The ground floor of the hotel is accessible in a wheelchair and there is a disabled toilet.
