Spacious room but small window looking out on rooftop so not a space to relax and enjoy particularly. Staff were lovely and very accommodating.
Breakfast was pretty standard. Teas and coffee from a flask. The nicer seating area is for spa guests.
Spa is a separate business and treatment was lovely but you have to pay to use the sauna, steam room and hit tub. They have their own opening hours and there's no pool which you kind of expect with the Spa Hotel name.
Odd location off the road and massive slightly run down park with seating out the front. Lovely on a warm day, but no garden. It's more of a conference /event hotel I would say.
Nice walk to a lovely pub but hills on way back!
Emporium next door.
Didn’t have breakfast. Plenty of parking on an open piece of land. (Shared with roadwork gang at far end).Didn’t see any cameras. Took tools off van for the night.
All was quiet in morning
Didnt have a breakfast at hotel. Car park very large making parking easy. A lovely clean room and all staff helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

PERFECTION IS HERE
What a pleasant and beautiful location and place
From the room to the food everything is so grande, yet at an affordable amount for all
I am so impressed, even though I live up north near Leeds and am getting married early next year, I can truly say I when found my location for my queen
Cannot appraise enough
Staff are what make it and sorry have not mentioned yourselves but from the reception to the bar to the chef all great and excellent service and professionalism
❤️💯🫡
The room was pretty standard and very clean. Bathroom was very modern, but the main suite was looking a bit dated. Bed was not as comfortable as it should have been. Breakfast was also average. Wifi was ok. We'd stay here again if visiting dorchester, yeovil or surrounding area for sure though.
Fantastic stay, unbelievably clean and well maintained. Rooms were big, bright and furnishings seemed quite new. Food in the restaurant was lovely and plentiful. The best thing is the staff, nothing is too much trouble from reception to the bar to the restaurants to the housekeeping. All staff were lovely but Helen and Richard were particularly amazing. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
We only stayed for one night, but we were delighted with everything—from the clean and comfortable room to the restaurant, where the food was absolutely delicious.
