The Plume of Feathers

The hotel is located in a superb location and the rooms are fantastic. We booked 4 rooms for our family. Abbey Cottage 1 overlooks the Abbey but all rooms are well located. The Hayloft is great experience too! The staff were very attentive and accommodating. The room and breakfast included is very good value. Thoroughly recommend it!

We stayed in the Hayloft room, paid the one night weekend rate of 210. The bathroom is not fit for purpose. Tiny, smells damp, mould in corners, very disappointing. No where to even rest your washbag. Saw the bathroom in the other rooms … way way nicer and up to standard for that price … this room should be 50% less.

We were in Sherborne and looked for somewhere for an evening meal that would take dogs too. Booked the Plume online. As we were leaving, we received a phone call from the pub, just checking that we were aware that because it was Valentines there was a special set taster menu at £45 per head. Gulped - but thought- let’s go for it! So glad we did. It was fantastic!!! My husband thought the Negroni had gone to my head because I stated (more than once) that it was possibly the nicest food I’d ever tasted!!!! Honestly- a superb meal! Utterly worth the price! Well done to the chef!!! And fabulous service too!

Gorgeous pub, with wonderful service and the best atmosphere I have ever experienced. The staff were incredible and the room was lovely and warm. Thr Hayloft is a lovely space , be aware it is a double bed and a sofa bed. Whilst the double bed was sumptuous, the sofa bed was lumpy and not too comfortable.

Great hotel and room. Food even better. Italian small plates dinner was superb as was breakfast. Service was faultless. We will go again. Would have given it 5 stars apart from problem with shower where I think the valve got stuck. These things happen. We stayed in the Haycroft so watch the step in the room!

What a superb lovely B&B. Was very impressed from start to finish with my mini break at the Plume. Room was fabulous and well decorated All furnishings were very comfortable. Room was clean and the bathroom was out of this world. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a couple of nights away in Dorchester. Not forgetting the staff and management who made the stay all the much better. Very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was to die for too. 10/10 Definitely stay again. Ps room rates were fantastic too.

We stayed here with our dog whilst having work done on our house. We have stayed her before we moved to Sherborne and eat here regularly. The food as always was excellent, particularly the breakfast. The room was very well maintained. Thoroughly recommended.

A fabulous stay with glorious food. Impeccable service that could not have been more friendly and helpful. Bedroom was clean, comfortable, spacious and well stocked with refreshments. Suggest booking in advance for meals as this is a very popular venue. We will definitely visit again.
