Jurassic Coast Trip...

Phoning requires way more time & effort than a quick email. That said, the reply does contain a degree of ambiguity

Got to love that response for the uncertainty it engenders. Maybe your correspondent does not like dogs?

A quick Google came up with this link about Best Western's policy regarding dogs. From what I can tell, just under half of their hotels accept pets, which based on the above might or might not include the Wessex. Unfortunately for you, it does involve making a phone call. Ultimately I would have thought that was easier and quicker than searching websites for information which is not easily found and communicating via confusing e-mails.

If I do come, it will likely be under my own steam and with a dog friendly hotel - will let you know but I've got a suspicion we're busy that weekend now.

Hi Keith
Just read your post regarding Dorset trip and deposits. You didn't mention me and Graham. We are currently on holiday in France and don't always have access to Internet. We will be back home on Monday evening.
Can you check that we are included and I will pay deposit on Tuesday.
Many thanks
Tina

Hi Tina,

I can confirm that you and Graham do have a booking at the Hotel. So if you could contact the hotel directly and pay that would be great

Thanks
Keith

Dear Keith I have tried to find the hotel for the outing to Dorset but can only see comments made in Feb and March. You did say look up Outings and Events ?

Hi Keith I take it back, I can now see the newer comments.
