Chaldon Herring, Dorchester hotel rooms at the Premier Inn

"It was a great room. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed the hotel bar. The parking was a little tricky at first, but it became more intuitive as we learned how it worked. The room was clean, housekeeping was prompt, and it’s in a good location. Would stay here again."

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

"Just back from 3 night break and was surprised at how quiet the hotel was well away from any noise of roads. Room was fine and had aircon and very good wifi included. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was hot and refreshed regularly so never ran out of anything, only scrambled eggs no fried etc but that’s a minor issue. Parking bit steep at £10 for 24 hours. Fairly short walk into main front area of Poole for shops boat trips restaurants etc. Bit tricky to find way in and out of hotel on road system but fine once mastered"

"Old building creaky floors, very old carpet and pillows! However for the money it was ok"

"Great location with great views of the sea.Very charming and polite staff"

"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."

"Breakfast was very busy due to a trade union conference and options were limited. Also we were charge extra for coffee on the first day and told on the second day it was free."

"Some staff were not helpful. Breakfast was disappointing. Rooms average. Pool was unswept, shoddy though the pool itself was good."

"Lovely staff. Good beach views. Spacious room and barthroom. Clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back. Stayed in a superior room."
