Having fresh milk delivered to your door each morning was a lovely touch. The location is great, it is only 5 minutes by car from Dorchester but you are in beautiful countryside.

- 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 407 reviewsI really enjoyed my stay at Casterbridge. It is in a great location, walking distance to all the shops and restaurants on the high street. Friendly host who told me about the local area and history of the B&B. Room was very traditional but clean and comfortable. Lovely bath, tea and coffee, view over the highstreet, very comfortable bed and TV with Netflix. I would definitely consider staying here again if I am in the area, and would recommend to others. Thank you so much!
