Situated near Dorchester, The Rivers Arms has a restaurant, bar, garden, and free WiFi throughout the property. Private parking can be arranged at an extra charge.

A Full English/Irish breakfast is available each morning at the inn.

We were very impressed with our stay and found the staff & facilities met our expectations, to include top marks for the monetary value of our stay. We will certainly stay again at this hotel when we next venture into Dorset. We loved learning about the history of the area and the reason why the hotel is called The Rivers Arms. We wish the owners the very best of fortune with their hotel.

Situated in the peaceful village of West Knighton, New Inn – Dorchester is a former 16th-century coaching inn. It blends original features with modern attributes, such as free WiFi and free on-site parking.

The overall ambiance of the Inn is quaint and relaxing. It is set in a rural countryside that is scenic. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and knowledgeable. Since breakfast was included in our stay, the price was a good deal. For an extra cost, we ate in a pub below our room. The food was good. The whole experience was everything I love about England.

    Lovely village location. Rooms were nicely decorated, comfortable bed in main bedroom, spacious and very clean. It was super warm too. Property is in a lovely village location, the restaurant was beautiful with great food. We had dinner and breakfast and could not fault any of it. They also have a pool table and darts which were good fun in the evening. We really enjoyed the place.

    Quietly located in a small village away from main roads. Beautiful old country pub that has been bought into the 21 century. The bedrooms which are clean and pleasant have been formed from an old house across the courtyard from the pub. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Owner was friendly and helpful.

    Breakfast and dinner was delicious. Lots of little extra touches in the room including mini bar, bed was amazing, super comfortable for my osteo issues and really appreciated the choices of pillows. Slept like a dream. Loved the rainforest shower - blissful after a wet walk along with the luxury beauty products and soft bath sheets. All the extra touches considered and provided to a high standard.

    Clean comfortable room which was surprisingly quiet despite a busy Friday night in the pub below and trains going by. Dinner was tasty and served with a smile, which goes a long way.
