About The Frampton Arms
Dorset's countryside rolls out beyond Dorchester's edges here, with The Frampton Arms offering a straightforward base for exploring it on foot or by bike. The surrounding lanes and walking routes are part of the appeal, and free on-site parking makes it easy to come and go.
Rooms are en-suite with air conditioning and free WiFi, and drinks can be brought straight to your room. Downstairs there's a bar and restaurant serving breakfast, with kids' meals available for families. Outside, a garden and picnic area give guests somewhere to sit beyond the pub itself, and reception is staffed around the clock.
Beyond the property there's more choice nearby, with other pubs, bars and restaurants within reach for evenings out. It suits guests who want a proper base for exploring the Dorset countryside rather than a destination in itself.
