The King's Arms, hotel in Charminster

Featuring a bar, The King's Arms is set in Dorchester. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also has a restaurant and a terrace. Private parking can be arranged at no extra charge.

The comfort room I was allocated was spacious, with a well lit bathroom. Central location and the fact that's it mentioned as the location of the scene from " The Mayor of Casterbridge" helped!

Room was great staff very friendly I only marked down the breakfast because it doesn't start until 08:30 am and I had an early departure. Although they did provide a bacon sandwich left on the door in the morning.

Lovely property in a quiet location yet only a £9 taxi ride to Dorchester. The room was very clean and well presented. I did not have an evening meal however breakfast was lovely. Above all the staff were welcoming, professional and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you!

    Very well placed for Dorchester.

    Very well placed for Dorchester. Hotel is set in it's own grounds so it's quiet and private but very convenient. Charminster itself seems very quiet. Had to go into Dorchester for evening meal. But it was a pretty village to go and run round in the morning before breakfast.

    All staff very friendly & helpful; breakfasts offer the usual good options including 'full English'. You have complete flexibility regarding access to the hotel. My dog (a Border Collie) slept in the car as he normally does when away from home. I exercised him in the extensive garden morning and evening. Excellent evening meals are available at The Sun Inn, 10 minutes walk down the road. The photo is of Little Court and walking on the Iron Age fort, Maiden Castle This was an enjoyable visit.

    The host, Amanda, was very kind and welcoming, showing us to our room and explaiing the faiclities on offer (including an outdor pool and tennis courts). The room was very clean with an incredibly comfy bed. The breakfast choices were good, with my choice of Full English being absolutely perfectly cooked an presented. The local pubs are a short walk away and, I'm told, Dorchester is only a 30 minute walk which, on a summers day, would make this an ideal base for exploration.

    Communication with the hotel was fabulous and the owner, Amanda, was super friendly. The pool was covered over (it was October) but we were told we could use it if we liked. The breakfast was a la carte with options like full English, veggie English, avocado on toast etc. The room was cosy and quite spacious with good tea and coffee facilities and plenty of biscuits.
