Oak Barn at Wooden Cabbage

Wooden Cabbage, East Chelborough, Dorchester DT2 0QA, UK

5.0 (20 reviews)

P: 01935 83362

The only thing to grumble about was that there was nothing to grumble about. Nothing. On the other hand the hosts were interesting, interested, and hospitable, the breakfast was excellent, the house interior full of interesting pictuures, objets, and great plants. The garden was Chelsea standard and the views spectacular. Very special. Thanks.

We had an amazing time at the Wooden Cabbage. The location was idyllic, with stunning views of the countryside. The gardens were beautiful with lovely sunsets. Hosts Susie and Martyn were brilliant. Very welcoming, accommodating and helpful. Also Susie's raspberry jam, variety of compotes and home made granola, which we had at breakfast were truly delicious! Rooms were clean and comfortable with all necessary amenities. The surrounding area has plenty to do and see, with great restaurants nearby. We will definitely be returning!

This was by far one of the best B&B's I've ever stayed in! Martin & Susie went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and well-taken care of. The location is gorgeous, stunning scenery all round (the views from the bedroom & breakfast area took my breath away) and it's perfectly positioned for day trips to explore more of the English countryside. Breakfast was an absolute feast! Everything is homemade and delicious. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and to crossing paths with these delightful hosts again.

Our stay at Wooden Cabbage was absolutely perfect - from the breathtaking views and gorgeous setting to the hosts who made our stay so unique and special with delicious breakfasts every morning in the most beautiful room over looking their garden, Martyn and Susie really went out of there way - they were so kind and gave us fantastic dinner recommendations and helpful tips. We were so sad to leave their heavenly home and cannot wait to visit again soon.

Lovely place to stay. Food was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. The one thing that I would of appreciated (as an older lady) would of been a bath mat in a very slippy bath. Fabulous, would certainly visit again.

This is an absolutely amazing place. The staff were extremely attentive, the food was phenominal and definitely worthy of a Michelin star and excellent value too. They really care about service and quality here . The best food that I have eaten in a long time. Thank you so much.

Yalbury Cottage is a place where excellence, friendliness, and quality come together seamlessly. As someone who loves travelling and exploring new cities and places, I have stayed in numerous accommodations, but none compare to Yalbury Cottage. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and look forward to returning to the area. The staff at Yalbury Cottage consistently went out of their way to be friendly and did everything possible to ensure our stay was exceptional. The room exceeded my expectations significantly, with its stunning and unique view. We truly felt as if we were at home, but in a setting with beautiful new scenery. Situated in Dorchester, Yalbury Cottage offers a perfect base to explore the area and nearby cities such as Weymouth. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, have recommended this place to others, and will continue to do so. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and everything was spotlessly and well-organised. Additionally, the thoughtful touch of leaving brownies in our room upon arrival exemplifies their dedication to Yalbury Cottage and their commitment to providing each guest with an exceptional experience. I personally can't wait to return to this charming cottage for another uniquely wonderful stay.

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

Good pub grub! Was a group of 8 of us and everyone was served at the same time which was very good. Very attentive waiting staff. Only criticism is in my opinion too hot, the wood burner was chucking out some serious heat however overall good.

Our overnight stay to attend a 90th birthday party was very pleasant. Our room was very comfortable with a lot of character. Our evening drink in the pub area was relaxed with a warm atmosphere. We enjoyed our well cooked breakfast and chats with the staff.

Rating for food only / bar service only. Always been good since I have been here. This evening I went with my 3 year old as she wanted whitebait, and she loved them, gobbled up the whole plate. I had a Pizza and it was yum. Staff were nice and got us sorted promptly which was nice for keeping the trip fairly short with a little one.

Patrick and Claire are the perfect hosts. We booked a room which was very comfortable and had all we needed for a relaxing evening and good night’s sleep. Dining was superb - dinner and breakfast were cooked to perfection. There’s also a beautiful garden to sit in and have a drink with friends or alone with a good book. We spent our evening sitting in big comfy couches in an upper room with our very dear friends and our beverages of choice. Thank you Patrick and Claire for a most remarkable and memorable stay.

A stellar experience. Lovely service from the team, who clearly are passionate about what they do. The steak I had was maybe the best I have ever been served - a lovely cut and cooked perfectly. Just a great experience.

Lovely lil cafe. Had an Americano and a flapjack to go from here. Emily and John were on shift I must say both were very welcoming, friendly & extremely helpful. Was a pleasure to meet you both will visit again soon. I really dislike coming into poundbury (was there because of work) but these lovely humans made my day. Thank you so much.

A “rare find” as AirBnB often says! An old school cafe, with personal service at reasonable/fair prices. It’s not often that you can buy an Americano for £2.20 these days! And their menu has a wide range of sandwiches and/or toasties. Nothing fancy, but great value and a friendly welcome.

Been a couple of times and already planning my next trip! Staff are lovely and attentive, menu is simple but wholesome with a great selection of café classics and specials. Really lovely setting and a courtyard - and a big bonus they're dog friendly!

A lovely little cafe, tucked away in a Dorchester side street. A well-kept secret that the locals cherish. You can get to Potters back door and their lovely patio garden by turning left before entering Waitrose. The front door is in the street next to Tony & Guys hair salon. The cafe offers lots of homemade goodies and great tea and coffee. They are a little pricey for some of their items but it's worth paying that little bit more for quality. The staff are well above the average.

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.

Now I would've given this place 5 stars however there was a man in the corner, drinking, miserable and shouting at the staff. I watched and listened to him shout and abuse the waiters which were lovely and later I found out it was the owner. Really rude and ruined the experience for me and he should not be doing that Infront of the customers or ever for that fact. Now to the food, it was lovely. Probably the best pizza I've had in ages and my work mate had the spaq bowl which he also said was lovely. The waiter and waitress were both lovely and professional and the service was excellent. I will definitely come back again as long as the boss is nowhere to be seen and then maybe I'll give it 5 stars.
