About The Poachers Inn
Piddletrenthide is a quiet Dorset village on the way to Dorchester, within reach of Maumbury Rings, Dorset Museum and the Jurassic Coast, and The Poachers Inn makes a comfortable base for exploring the area. The building has the feel of a traditional village inn, with a bar and restaurant at its heart alongside a garden, picnic area and outdoor seating for warmer days.
Rooms are en-suite, with some accessible options available, and guests can order drinks to their room or arrange a packed lunch for a day out. Breakfast is served each morning, and reception operates around the clock. Outside, there's an outdoor swimming pool, and the inn welcomes pets, making it a practical stop for those travelling with dogs.
Free on-site parking is provided, useful given the rural setting, and a golf course, pubs, restaurants and entertainment can all be found nearby. It's a straightforward, well-equipped inn rather than a grand hotel, suited to those wanting an unfussy base near Dorchester and the coast.
Guests mention this hotel offers a comfortable lounge and dining rooms, with delicious evening meals like steak pie and vegan options. They also highlight the friendly and accommodating staff, who provide excellent service.
Some reviews mention the rooms can be damp.
