We are here to make your stay as comfortable as it possibly could be and give you a little taste of great Dorset hospitality. From the room to the breakfast to the location we beleive that you find more attention to detail than we provide here.
It is quaint and certainly oozing with character at Cornflowers and it lies in the heart of Dorchester town centre. So it is a perfect choice for those wanting to explore the town of Dorchester without too many worries about commuting. We strive to ensure your stay is like home from home as we only have 3 letting double rooms and can therefore give the small number of guests we have that extra special treatment. Or for those who just want to keep themselves to themselves , you wont even know we are there!
THE HEART OF CASTERBRIDGE!!
Thank you for visiting our new Internet site which will have plenty more images loaded on to it over the next few months. For now though please take the time to read about our beautiful guest house set in the heart of Dorchester.
Dorchester or Casterbridge as it was known in the days of Thomas Hardy is soaked in history and has remained fairly unchanged over time, retaining much of its original buildings and character.
Cornflowers is located in Durngate street which is right in the centre of Dorchester and a fabulous base from which to go off and explore all the delights of this historic market town and the surrounding area. To find Durngate street when driving down the main traffic streets of high east or high west street turn into church street on the left or right depending on direction. The church with the tallest spire is on the corner of church street and you will find us 30 yards or so by taking the first right turn along church street.
Built circa 1650 Cornflowers has been lovingly renovated in 2002 to create this delightful 4 star guest house and all its original features including beams and grand fireplaces still remain.
We have kept the emphasis here on Dorset! , as Dorchester is the county town and so much great local food is produced in and around here. Each room has a supply of complimentary nibbles produced locally and the hearty breakfast is made up of all Dorset produce from start to finish. So why gamble with other local accommodation when at Cornflowers you are sure to be on a winner!!
Yes you have hit the jackpot when you check in to Cornflowers from the moment you arrive to the second you leave it is our aim to ensure your stay is as comfortable as we could possibly make it!
