Breakfast had a good choice and the young lady who greeted and served us was lovely. The bedroom was large and well-furnished. Very comfortable bed. Triple aspect room with views over roofs to the countryside. Dinner had a good choice and was served by a very pleasant young man.

On one of the two mornings, breakfast was a very long wait. Think there was an issue in the kitchen. I had asked for a high, quiet bedroom. Ours was on the 3rd of 4 floors with a rear outlook. Unfortunately, the kitchen extractor was below one of our windows and the bottle bank also. The refuse truck arrived below our window at 7.15am. It was an adjoining room and there was a family in the next room, so a lot of noise carried through the door. The quality of the toilet tissue was very poor.

Position excellent, decor pleasing, food good.

Bed too short (solid footboard) for 6'4" husband. Only hanging space, no shelves. Facilities for disabled made it inconvenient eg incredibly small washbasin with shelf over, seat in the way of the shower.

The hotel is very central and the staff were helpful - Poundbury is great with plenty of free parking.

Bathroom very stark, black and white... needs more personalisation and modernisation..

Great design

Our only issue was the bed the mattress was hard. It described the mattress as being the best in the world !!

Stylish with quirks and nice touches like blue night light in the toilet

Occupants of Room 5 talking loud until 1.30am!!

Service was exceptional . The building was very impressive. Location was perfect for our needs .

Staff were smiling, happy, polite and helpful. Water and biscuits every day. Very good breakfasts. Modern rooms. TV was digital with BBC iPlayer. End corner room had two lovely windows with views towards Maiden Castle.

We had lived in Poundbury and watched the Duchess of Cornwall being built. Staying there we realised what a lovely building it was inside as well, especially the stunning breakfast room/restaurant. The bedroom was large and very comfortable, the bathroom a good size although the ornate shower controls were beyond us! The staff were responsive and sociable. The free car parking outside is a bonus.

The shower was ornate and awkward when trying to find the right setting. Breakfast was not so good as the emphasis seemed to be on the generous cooked element which we don’t generally have. We went into breakfast at 9.15a.m, not late for a Sunday morning. They had run out of the small packets of Fruit and Fibre type muesli to put in the tiny cereal bowls, there were about four tiny Danish pastries left, only cow’s milk on the table… compared to the Premier Inn breakfast table it was pathetic. Given the number of people using non dairy like Rude Health or other oat type drinks, sheeps yoghurt or Alpro these days, I thought a place like this would have been more aware (especially given King Charles is veggie for 3 or 4 days a week!).

Generally good and nice choices. One morning the eggs were muddled. Another the scrambled we asked for was like hard boiled egg chopped, so disappointed.

As above. The coffee was slow to be replenished.

The food was good, service polite and friendly but slow and disorganised. If the staff do not write down orders they get in a muddle.

The bed was very uncomfortable, very hard. The shower room was awkward When we went to pay we had been charged for three nights not two, we were glad we checked our bill carefully.

Absolutely everything, the staff were so friendly and accommodating, the room exceeded our expectations, the breakfast was lovely , the whole room experience was so good we have booked to stay for Christmas, but I’m sure we’ll be back a few times before then.

Having to come home

Good position with ample parking available and a variety of shops close by. the pub is thriving with excellent food, friendly staff, lovely bedrooms and delicious breakfasts.

We’ll situated, stayed several times and will do so again

Nothing it was fine

The beds were comfortable, rooms good temperature and great shower.

The cooked breakfast was not good.

Lovely, quirky room with a lot of interesting touches. Large bed. Quiet room. Very nice bar area. Staff very helpful and polite.

Bathroom could have been cleaner.

Nice area, pleasant and helpful staff, very good food and a good location to be able to explore Weymouth and surrounding areas

The double bed we requested was just 2 single beds pushed together with a zip connected mattress, quite uncomfortable if you got too close to the middle of the bed.

beautiful building

Most of all the staff were fabulous. They could not have done more to meet every need.

It was a bit pricey (we had three rooms)

When we first walked the place was buzzing, beautifully decorated and a nice warm vibe. Our room was very comfortable and lots of little personal touches. The staff were all so smiley and friendly.

There was nothing that we didn’t like.

I have stayed at The Duchess of Cornwall before and I love it. The bedroom was very spacious, well equipped, stylishly decorated and super comfortable. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and efficient. Fabulous breakfast in a stunning light dinning room. Overall the atmosphere is very relaxing.

Leaving!
