A nice country side retreat

8.0

We happily traded the free running guinea pigs for the non existing TV in the cabins. It's quite steep and would not be suitable for anybody with mobility issues.

− Given the name we expected a river, but couldn't find one.

Great location, very quiet with an off the beaten track feel but still convenient for getting to Dorchester, Weymouth and other attractions. Cabins have a camping vibe but very comfortable and the pub itself is lovely. Food was excellent with choice of the bar, restaurant or covered deck to eat.

Owners were nice.

− Chalet unbearable hot, due to extreme outside temperature.

Our stay at The Rivers Arms was short but absolutely amazing, we were warmly welcomed shown to the immaculate room which was exactly how it was described. We can't wait to go back again!

− There was nothing not to like about this stay.
