"Nice and clean - a good stay. The hosts were really great when I arrived quite late at night due to a missed train, and were really helpful in making sure I could get right into my room easily. I really appreciated their helpfulness and easy communication.
There are a number of pets about the house including dogs, who make a bit of noise in the evening and early morning, but not too bad.
I would be quite happy to stay here again."
"Very enjoyable stay. Owner and staff were very friendly. Lively pub atmosphere and the breakfast was excellent! Easy access to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Very enjoyable stay."
"The Old Ship Inn is the perfect place to stay during our trip to Dorchester and surrounding area. It’s a gorgeous Inn tucked into a very special old pub. Our room was very clean, and the beds were super comfortable. We will be coming back here for sure. "
