Absolutely excellent stay. I would even go so far as to say it was the best B&B/host experience I’ve ever had. I didn’t know hosts could make such a big difference to your stay, but I suppose I just hadn’t experienced a great one until now. From the start, Karl was extremely welcoming. He had excellent recommendations in the area and nearby the town, also great chat. The attention to detail in the room amenities was above and beyond. It was actually at hotel level and not what I expected from an intimate B&B: a great selection of tea, coffee, and small snacks; a little pamphlet about everything you can do in Dorchester; a very nice menu for breakfast; loved the art and interior design. The breakfast itself was absolutely delicious, made by the other co-host, Jocelyn, literally restaurant level! I can honestly say the trip was ten times better than it would have been because of the hosts and the place.

A truly charming and well-maintained place, made even more special by Amenda, a warm and welcoming host. It’s the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life—a peaceful retreat surrounded by a beautiful, blooming garden. The interiors are tastefully done, with thoughtful touches throughout. Our room was lovely, filled with natural light and offering serene views of the garden and open fields. Everything felt just right. I only wish I had more time to spend here. I’ll definitely be returning—this place is a gem.

Great location and all the things you need to have a great time. Walking distance inside the holiday park there is a hill where you can watch the incredible sunset, plus all the paths to go and have great walks. Restaurant, pub, little shop and everything just 2 min walking distance from the caravan. 100% recommended, perfect to share with friends. The host was very nice and available at anytime. Amazing place and very affordable.

Trish and Mel were extremely helpful and friendly and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. Breakfast was very good and prepared individually to each of our preferences. Add to this that Weymouth is a very nice little beach town on the beautiful Jurassic Coast. I hope to return and highly recommend staying at their lovely property.

We had bed and breakfast and the breakfast was exceptional. The room was very nice and it felt really welcoming. Having fresh milk delivered to your door each morning was a lovely touch. The location is great, it is only 5 minutes by car from Dorchester but you are in beautiful countryside. It was very quiet and the owners were great hosts. We will be returning in the summer for sure.
