damp smell

disgusting bedding

absolutley awful stay. the smell of damp was so pervasive, it nearly overwhelmed me. also, the bedding was absolutely disgusting, pillows with moth holes? I expected way better given the price. I almost thought to leave a good review, but when I didn’t receive a complimentary gesture for my troubles, I just couldn’t. ,

cozy atmosphere

lack of lift access

The location is convenient for exploring

the town, which was a significant plus. The room was well-maintained and provided a cozy atmosphere. A small downside was the lack of lift access to our room, which could be challenging for those with mobility issues.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Beggar'S Knap. Mark, the host, was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure all my needs were met. The room was beautifully decorated with charming antiques, and the location was perfect for exploring Dorchester.

Parking area needs lighting.

convenient location

nice displays

dated decor

The hotel offers a great location and surprisingly nice displays inside that caught my kids' attention. We loved that there was space for us to easily surf the web. It was perfect for our family with kids aged 10 and 15!

My wife says that the decor felt dated and could use a refresh.

poor parking lighting

Had an awesome time with friends! We loved exploring the local sights and found some great spots to eat. The room was super clean and so comfy. The host provided all the info we needed. Would definitely recommend this place for a fun getaway.

One minor downside was the car park. it could use some lighting to help find our way back at night.

stunning antique decor

Highly recommended for a cozy getaway

The room was enormous with a classic four poster bed and stunning antique decor that made me feel like royalty. Mark the host was incredibly helpful and provided great advice on local spots when we struggled with snow getting there.

It wasn’t inexpensive but for what we got it was still acceptable.
