Top Badger Watch Dorset Hotel Reviews

The Hunters Moon

10/10 Excellent

"All staff welcoming and unobtrusive. As staying guests we also had a table for the pub food, which was excellent - good selection and different portion sizes. We had a 3-course evening meal and the cooked breakfast. Served quickly - hot and tasty. Coffee served with breakfast was really good."

The New Inn

10/10 Excellent

"From start to finish, absolutely incredible place to stay and eat. Everyone so lovely especially Sarah-Jane who took extra care to make sure we had a great stay and entertained our 2 year old. Making our 6 hour journey a breeze. Thank you everyone we can’t wait to come back!"

The Brace of Pheasants

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay with truly fantastic food."

10/10 Excellent

"Alan was exceptionally helpful and welcoming. The bedrooms are gorgeous and beautifully decorated with lovely bathrooms. We’ve never seen such huge tvs and the outdoor space is perfect for socialising. We’ll definitely be back again!"

Cosy cottage in a pretty village with a pub at the end of the garden!

10/10 Excellent

"We went here for a short family break in February - my wife and two kids (7 and 3).The cottages are perfect in every way, and have everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Adele and Nigel are great hosts and also kindly put out a load of kids toys, booster seat and stairgate ahead of our arrival.The cottage was very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Being February the weather was not great (as expected), but the cottage was very cosy in the evenings with the log burner going.Having a good pub literally at the end of the back garden was also an extremely welcome benefit!We will certainly return if we're ever back in the area, and can highly recommend for families or couples alike."

2 bedroom accommodation in Cerne Abbas, near Dorchester

8/10 Good

"The cottage was lovely in an idyllic village, handy for the busses. The garden was a sun trap and was lovely to sit in but the grass needed cutting. We felt the bathroom needed some TLC but overall the perfect place for a holiday away from it all."
