Our Pub

We are a 100 year old hotel located in the world-famous mountain biking town of Derby, Tasmania, located 1 hour 20 minutes from Launceston. Offering accommodation, meals, bar & bottle shop sales, laundromat and secure bike storage. The newly renovated accommodation consists of 6 twin rooms, one double room and two queen rooms with shared bathroom facilities. If you are after a bit more privacy, we also offer two ensuite queen rooms. All rooms include a continental breakfast daily. Mountain biking groups often book out the whole hotel. Serving hearty, delicious meals, prepared by local chefs who source fresh, local Tasmanian meat, seafood, fruit and vegetables. We also showcase local beer, cider and spirits in our bar.

We are only a 2-minute pedal to the trailhead of the Blue Derby trail network, the Blue Derby pump track and the iconic Floating Sauna. Derby has a rich tin mining history with a local museum, lovely walks and drives to relics of the tin mining close by. There are also many waterfalls to explore nearby. We are an excellent half way stopover if you are enroute to the beautiful North East Coast from Launceston.

Ultimate mountain bikers destination!

The Dorset is a great place to base yourself while riding the world renowned Blue Derby mountain bike trails.

Icy cold craft beers and ciders, (and a growing wine list), great food, affordable accommodation, and mountain bike friendly facilities all under one roof, make The Dorset the most convenient option for your mountain biking adventures in Derby.

We’re a three minute pedal from the trail head – the River trail starts in our Beer Garden, and takes you past the suspension bridge and pump track straight to the Trail Head.

Derby is also a popular stopover for tourists on their way to the East Coast, particularly motorbike riders who enjoy the winding scenic route. Derby has a rich history of tin mining that can be explored at local museums. Come and speak to us for more information on the area’s attractions.
