    good breakfast
    limited parking
    dated bathroom

    the csterbridge is in a great spot, super close to evrything in dorchester like shops and places to eat! the rooms were really nice nd had a comfy bed. loved the breakfast in the pretty garden conservatory, really tasty nd made just for u. the staff were all friendly and made us feel at home! it's def a cozy stay with nice vibes.

    however, the parking was a bit of a hassle since u can't park right outside. also, our shower wasn't the best and could've been updated.

    Amazing breakfast!

    Super friendly staff and the breakfast was out of this world—seriously, kippers! I loved the vibe and the comfy sitting rooms. Just a heads up, the top-floor room got pretty warm, so the fans were a must. Oh, and parking can be a bit tricky since it's in a nearby public lot.

    helpful staff
    cozy accommodations
    road noise

    Our group had an amazing time during our stay! We visited the local museums and enjoyed the beautiful parks nearby. The breakfast was delicious, with options for everyone. The staff were incredibly helpful, and the accommodations were very cozy. Keep in mind the overnight parking available nearby if you have a car. Honestly, this place is a must-visit for a relaxing getaway!

    The only downside was a bit of road noise from our room, which was slightly distracting at times.

    spacious room
    delightful food
    limited entertainment
    difficult access
    lack of options

    The stay was enhanced by a spacious and clean deluxe room, complemented by a great bed for a restful sleep. The location allowed for easy exploration, and the abundant free parking was a nice touch. Breakfast offerings, including delightful scones, truly pleased the palate. the hotel lacked in evening entertainment options, and the top-floor access might pose a challenge for some guests.
