“What a beautiful b&b with plenty of history. Owner was very informative about the old tea room and surrounding area. She was also the most amazing host, so friendly, kind and welcoming. Made us feel like we were at home. Breakfast was amazing with a great choice of cereals, pastries, yoghurt and then cooked breakfast. The cakes and scones are a must when visiting....tasty! There is a plaque which says " come as guests leave as friends....we have definitely left as friends.”

“Wheelchair friendly. Epic food experience, Brisket Keftiko for £18 is amazing. I did not expect to eat such superior quality food next to a garden centre. I see a bright future after filling up my belly and hopefully for this place. Don’t lower your standards”

The Secret Garden Café
19 South St, Dorchester DT1 1BS, UK
Phone: 01305 457300
“This is easily becoming my favourite cafe in Weymouth. The location is great, just moments from the harbour side in the bustling brewers quay area. They have a sizeable outside seating area for those dry days and a cosy dining area inside. The staff are wonderfully accommodating and lovely with our children, they are always offered colouring books and numerous high chairs are available. Now the food...it is lovely. It is all vegetarian or vegan, but even as a meat lover I always find something to eat. A personal favourite is the poutine, fries with melted cheese covered in the most delicious mushroom gravy - it is gorgeous! The extensive waffle menu is a firm hit with all ages, with choices to suit all. From waffles doused in chocolate to lovely fruit toppings. If you are in the area, I would wholeheartedly suggest you pop by for lunch.”

“Really excellent. As someone who also owns a small independent cafe, Potters is one of the best I have visited. Lovely food( club sandwich) almost too much to finish, and I’m a big eater. Very attentive staff, and extremely good value for money. All round an excellent little cafe.”

The Horse With The Red Umbrella
10 High E St, Dorchester DT1 1UJ, UK
Phone: 01305 262019
“I googled "All Day Breakfast in Dorchester" and this was one of the ones that came up. We arrived and were greeted by a lovely lady who asked our dogs names and sat us down. She constantly came over and fussed our dogs calling them by their names which was a lovely touch. Excellent service and the food was fab. I would highly recommend!”

“Just back from a fabulous 2 nights here. What a lovely place, would highly recommend to anyone thinking of going. We were made very welcome and the staff were so friendly. The food was lovely and my husband said especially the breakfast. I'm sorry I didn't get one of the managers names who spoke to us this morning, just after breakfast, but she was so nice and a credit to The Smugglers. We will be back.”

Piddle Inn Not the Ordinary
Piddletrenthide, Dorchester DT2 7QF, UK
Phone: 07587 429768
“The pub is now a holiday home. It has been converted and you can rent the whole thing to yourselves, bar and all! Despite an obvious campaign to save the pub for community use (there is a banner on the building next door) it seems the Piddle Inn is a victim of the mass extinction of village pubs, except this one has been thrown a lifeline. Given how many sad, abandoned buildings line our country lanes nowadays, many fated to be demolished or turned into insanely expensive executive housing that no one from the local area can afford, I think what the host has done here is nothing but ingenious. You are staying in a converted B&B. You can have breakfast at the bar, have lunch out in the garden and dinner at a grand dining table. Afterwards, relax in a sizable lounge or play games in one of the booths. Meals are prepared in the commercially fitted out kitchen, complete with all the kit you could dream of for cooking for hungry hoards. Every authentic aspect of the pub has been preserved for use by private groups. It is such a novelty, like a weekend-long lock in with just people you want to spend time with! I think the host should be celebrated for preserving a part of our national heritage and providing a holiday rental that doesn't take a family home out of a housing market that is on its knees. Yes, it isn't available for community use anymore and it is sad for the handful of villagers who wanted to keep it open. But the widespread epidemic of pub closures over the last two decades has hardly gone undocumented and surely this option is infinitely more favourable than the alternative, which would be a boarded up, eye-sore ghost from a different age, slowly falling into dereliction. Everything was clean and comfortable. The host was friendly and very chilled out. There was a bit of damp and I forgot my slippers so had to wear sandles on the well-trodden floors. But even with just a small level of forgiveness for the fact it's a very old building, situated right next to a body of water, you can easily get over those, very minor, imperfections. Overall, loved the experience and hope to come back with friends very soon.”
