Charminster

Travel Guide

Charminster old Dorchester road. This used to be the main road from Charminster to Dorchester when the main roads kept to higher ground to avoid marshy land on the flood plain of the River Frome. A new road was built centuries ago on a raised causeway across the meadows and it became the A37 running south of the village. This is now the C12 to Sherborne, straight , fast and notorious for road deaths.

Higher Burton Farm A view across corn fields from near Higher Burton Cottages
Wolfeton House South Front A rough track leads off the main Dorchester - Yeovil road at the end of which is a magnificent C16 manor house. Like many such houses, it has had quite a chequered architectural history, with the oldest surviving parts, being the south front completed in 1528, and the gatehouse (extreme right), dating from 1534. The ancestral home of the Trenchard family, it survives today having been rescued from dereliction by the present owners. Grade I Listed.

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)
Room very clean, staff nice and friendly hotel itself also clean and fresh. Swimming pool and spa dated and not as clean (due to age rather lack of effort). Food and drink slightly over priced £17+ for a pint of lager and glass of wine.

Large parking area out the back, we missed it first round but located it easily enough - slightly slow check-in but room was gorgeous! I loved reading about the history of the hotel and local town.
