About The Rivers Arms
Tucked into the quiet Dorset village of Cheselbourne, surrounded by open countryside near Dorchester, The Rivers Arms makes a peaceful base for exploring this part of the county. The rural setting means slower mornings and easy access to the road network for those heading out towards the coast or the town centre.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks available in room, and free WiFi throughout. There's a restaurant and bar on site serving breakfast and evening meals, plus a garden to sit out in when the weather allows, and reception is staffed around the clock. Free on-site parking is provided, which is a useful bonus given the countryside location.
Maiden Castle and Dorset Museum are both within reach for a day out, and the Jurassic Coast is close enough for a visit to the sea. Locally there are also pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby, along with a golf course for those wanting to fill an afternoon.
