Charminster hotel guide. Premier Inn hotel in Charminster, Dorchester

"Really good location on beach front, with parking next to shops and transport links"

"A very comfortable stay in one of their double deluxe sea view rooms. Comfortable bed and excellent showering facilities. Just short of a small fridge."

"Real milk in a fridge that was nice for tea lovers."

"Beautiful setting, lovely room. Cheerful staff :) "

"A lovely place to stay. The staff were very helpful throughout. We hosted a large family gathering for lunch and stayed over. We were accommodated in the evening with light food which was not normally available in the evening. Breakfast was very good. Parking is good but limited space."

"The hotel is an old Georgian building and therefore reflected in the rooms and amenities. Lots of character and charm. However, this means no aircon and old fashioned door locks etc. They provide a fan but our room was still too warm. We stayed in April so the summer months could be tricky. The bed was very comfortable and the shower room was well stocked. Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion and lovely fluffy towels. Lots of tea and coffee. Coffee was high quality bags and not the nasty Nescafé granules you usually get. Lovely biscuits too. For breakfast I had a chocolate croissant which was great followed by a full English. Unfortunately this was a bit disappointing. Sausage tasted cheap and the bacon was streaky and not back which was quite tough. No black pudding and only one hash brown. Toast was described as whole meal but was just plain brown. We had lunch sat outside in the sun which was very nice. I can recommend the fish finger sandwich. Beer is excellent and the staff were super helpful and working incredibly hard."

"Our room was clean and comfortable but showing its age. Although it had been freshened up, the TV was quite old and picture quality was SD when these days one might expect HD. Similarly the light above the bathroom mirror was not even LED and when we found the pull cord it was dim and and only illuminated several years of dust. The bed was very comfortable. This may seem a bit picky but we paid over £100 for one night which did not even give us access to the pool. We learnt the hard way that the Expedia price does not include the pool and spa. It is actually quite clear on the Expedia site but we booked at the last minute and in a rush. There was plenty of parking and the location was close to the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful."

"Great breakfast "

"We had a lovely stay, beautiful position and our room was lovely. "
