Managers Ed and Anika could not have been more welcoming. Location in beautiful village location within driving distance of Dorchester. Room was modern and tastefully furnished and immaculately clean. All staff very attentive and could not do enough for you. Dining was superb and huge range of alcoholic beverages to suit all tastes. Excellent facilities for disabled customers. Even have spare wellies and umbrellas for sudden changes in weather. Excellent nights sleep in very comfortable beds....

We stayed at the marquis for one night as we were attending a wedding nearby. We had a lovely stay everyone was really friendly and helpful. The room was really nice with a comfortable bed and great view, and a tasty breakfast was included the next day. We would highly recommend staying if you're in the area, the location is fantastic and though we were only there for a short visit we hope to come back some day to spend some more time exploring the area!

We booked this dog-friendly hotel at the last minute. We had asked for feather- free bedding and the staff had gone to the trouble of making sure we had it, before we got there. The 3 bedrooms are in a small annexe next to the pub. There is a little stream flowing past, and a lovely big pine tree close by. After settling in, we had dinner in the main building with our dog. There were others, too. We were told that the menu was changing that night so some things were not available but the meals...

Great stay at a great pub with good well priced food, room clean and well maintained.
Only problems, finding somewhere to eat Monday night and as a business traveller would have like breakfast to be served a little earlier. Although the breakfast tray was good.
