We have stayed at The Duchess of Cornwall on numerous occasions to meet close friends and always enjoyed our stays. Unfortunately, on this visit the heating in our original room was not working. However, the staff were excellent and changed us to another room, assisting us to move our belongings. They were excellent!

Useless air conditioning making unpleasant stay.
Our first stay at The Duchess of Cornwall Inn and we wont stay again. It's perfectly situated for a stay in Dorset to tour the County. We booked it as it's a recent built 3* hotel (2016) and expected it to provide current standards for a modern building. It's clearly been Eco-friendly constructed and is particularly attractive both inside and out. However our stay was made miserably on the warmer days we experienced. Night time temperatures in our 4th floor Indulgence plus room measured at 28'c for 3 nights. The air conditioning was set for 19'c but we couldn't feel any effect from it. Instructions next to the controls advised keeping the windows shut for best effect - it was worse, the temperature rose - we had to open the window and some cooler air dropped the temperature back to 28'c. Ambient temperature for hotel rooms is 21'c. We understand this country can have heatwaves but in todays changing climate, buildings of this age should be constructed to adapt to this. After the 2nd sleepless night I approached the check-in desk and asked if anything could be done, basically the answer was NO. We considered moving to another hotel but we were unable to find a vacancy, so we endured our booked stay. Our last night the temperature had fallen to 25'c - with the window open - as a result of the night time outside temperature falling to 13.2'c (information obtained from a weather station 300mts from the hotel). Other facilities at the hotel were as expected.
28'c overnight in room

Very nice and good pub.
It’s very nice, if you can find it. On Sunday there are no buses into Poundbury so you have to walk through the development. There’s minimal signage and few people around to get directions. The B&B itself is quite nice and my room,#8, was quiet with a view for miles over the countryside. Ideal location to catch the local bus to Lyme Regis.

We had an excellent stay however the room was not as clean as we would expect. The toilet was very stained at the bottom and the furniture had not been cleaned thoroughly. There was lots of dust.
