Set in Dorchester, the recently renovated The Dairyman Suite offers accommodation 5 km from Monkey World and 20 km from Corfe Castle.

The location to everything we wanted to see, the room was lovely and the bed super comfortable, the host was so welcoming, and the delicious hamper breakfast was perfect. I really appreciated real milk and enough tea and coffee for more than 1 cuppa per person, which is usually what other places do.

    We had bed and breakfast and the breakfast was exceptional. The room was very nice and it felt really welcoming. 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. It was very quiet and the owners were great hosts. We will be returning in the summer for sure.
