They refused to play England playing in the Euros in their public space, and wanted to charge us for a private area to do so.

Good food served promptly. Very comfortable beds and bedrooms. A nice airy place to eat dinner etc. Attentive staff. Free parking. Good bathrooms

Nothing to dislike. Would definitely come back.

The room. and hotel were very pleasant and of a high quality. The decor was very nice. The pub served good food and had a wide selection of local beers.

The hotel was clean but felt a little tired and like it could do with a slight refresh. The wall and floors/ceilings are paper thin - so we could hear almost everything from the rooms around us. It is a bit pricey for what it is.

The hotel/inn looks lovely fulfilling its part in the "Disneyland/Universal Studios" way that is Poundbury. Poundbury feels like a film set. Location is great - Waitrose across the square and some other shops. Easy access to main roads. parking as easy and free lively atmosphere in the bar/cafe/coffee shop are which is the ground floor.

The weather - hey ho

We booked room 2, as it looked nice from internet pictures, but it was not serviced when we arrived, so the lovely Kai, who,knew it was booked for my husbands birthday, apologised and upgraded us to an indulgence room at no extra cost. We did wander around with our bags for 20 minutes whilst this was sorted, so they included a free dinner, as we had booked for birthday burger! The service in the restaurant was excellent and the food superb. I had w starters, very tasty crunchy cauliflower with spicy sauce and chicken skewer, very fresh flavours. Hubby had his birthday burger, delicious- followed by pud. So dealt with perfectly - thank you so much. 😊

Room small, over bath shower, very slippy, no mat. No tissues.

Pleasant, well appointed building.

Rooms are above the restaurant.

Our room was enormous, we had a great stay here. The room has barrels of character, we were so pleasantly surprised. The bathroom was beautiful building and with a visit.

Beautiful, comfortable hotel and excellent food and drinks.

We have stayed at The Duchess many times the accommodation is excellent and staff are always very friendly and helpful, it is spotless through out. We love Poundbury it is such a fabulous place and an excellent base to visit the likes of Weymouth, Portland, Durdle Door etc I would say my only gripe is that they now outpricibg them selves we have just paid over £400 for two nights which I feel is now excessive and would now have to consider other hotels next time which would be a shame as we do love to visit

The staff in the bar are terrible, they were abrupt and unhelpful. The bar was closed early with no warning - last orders weren’t called and there was no option as a resident to be able to buy any drinks. The menu is small and the food is good but they had run out of items even though there is supermarket right across the road.

The hotel part is amazing. Fabulous rooms, comfortable, clean and quiet
