Historical property, quiet this time of year (end of Sept) and friendly staff. Great food too. Well worth visiting if you’re in the area! Close to the Tank Museum and good local taxis.

It’s rare to visit an establishment where there are so many excellent staff. We visited the Countryman on Boxing Day and booked a Christmas meal and a double room. The food was wonderful, the service was excellent. The room was very comfortable. I cannot praise everyone enough. If you visit Dorchester, this IS the place to stay. Thank you for making our Boxing Day so lovely

Authentic British bed and breakfast/pub! Peaceful countryside, wonderful food, nice staff and facilities. The only thing we could say would be that you need to book all taxis in advance, but otherwise nothing but good to say about the Countryman Inn. We will be going back.

Stopoverafter Monkey World visit

This was a perfect stopover after visiting Monkey World (just 4 miles away) . As well as the use of one room we were allowed to park our campervan overnight. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was both tasty and excellent value
