It is a vibrant town for both sightseeing and shopping. With one foot in the past and the other firmly in the future, Dorchester has some of the country’s best-preserved Roman ruins just moments away from a thriving high street, and an exciting retail and residential redevelopment at Brewery Square. Dorchester is also fortunate in having its own extremely impressive county museum, leafy riverside walks near the town centre, heritage trails through the town's shops and cafes, and one of Europe’s largest Iron Age forts, Maiden Castle.
A traditional weekly market is held and you'll find a number of top quality chain and independent stores, plus a wide range of services. There is also a lively music scene, two cinemas, an arts centre, and a range of markets, festivals, and clubs, as well as associations representing every interest. Dorchester is, of course, noted for its connection to Thomas Hardy (who also worked for the same architectural practice which built Stratton House). Transport connections are easy with direct access rail access to London and also Bristol. There is also a regular local bus service within walking distance of Stratton House.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
