Excellent spacious room, supportive and friendly staff. It is very useful to have a microwave in the breakfast room, especially for professionals who are always in a rush. Thank you. See you next time I need to work, @Dorch.

An excellent place to stay.
The Sleeping Bear was an extremely comfortable place to stay. It had recently been decorated to a high standard and everything was well cared for. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful.

Perfect little hotel!
A lovely hotel in Dorchester located on the high street. No restaurant but so many around us that this was absolutely no issue whatsoever! Very friendly staff, hot drinks available for free, cmfortable room, free overnight car park nearby...we had a lovely stay in this hotel and will definitely stay there next time we are in the area!
