The hotel is the best in the region, completely new and with a great design. Bar and restaurant services are also great. The staff solved all our needs (taxis, luggage storage, late check-out), and was also very kind and comprehensive; could not be better. I will definitely return.

FAQs about hotels in Dorset

Southern English Natural Charm

With one of the highest proportions of conservation areas in England, the Dorset County includes 2 ‘Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ covering more than half of its territory. It is also famous for the ‘Jurassic Coast’, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that actually represents three-quarters of the county’s coastline.

Considering that half of the population lives in the south-east of the county, Dorset is characterised by an enchanting countryside atmosphere. Languid limestone hills and clay valleys cover a big part of its surface. Loads of Dorset hotels and inns are spread throughout this area.

Shaftesbury is one of the most picturesque towns, rolling down the hill with old rural houses. A visit to the chief town of Dorchester and its County Museum is a must. Check out some of the Dorset boutique hotels located in old refurbished manor houses, and spread throughout the county.

The Jurassic Coast runs along 155 km. It includes magnificent formations like the Lulworth Cove and the Durdle Door arch, plus the Isle of Portland with Chesil Beach and its large tidal lagoon.

The cities of Weymouth, Poole, Bournemouth, and Christchurch are located along its coasts. Experience this charming piece of England, don’t miss the Booking.com special offers for Dorset hotels.

Not a huge town, but plenty of places to eat. Beach is excellent for family. Not much to do in the winter. Great for walkers as coastal path is stunning. Has a great harbour side. Lots of good places to eat has an abundance of pubs.

Wasn't sure what to expect but have to say Dorchester wasn't very inspiring as towns go. Two railway stations, both a fair walk from the main town streets. There's a museum and gallery but it was £15 to get in so I didn't bother. Not very exciting shops, I believe there's probably an out of town retail park but hard to access if you don't have a car.

Nice little town with quite a few places to eat and drink. Also very interesting Museum with lots of history. A plaque on a wall stated on that spot on Sept 5th 1732 nothing happened. 1732 Britain changed from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, so we had to lose 11 days, Sept 4th was followed by Sept 16th, bit of trivia there.

I liked the setting very much. Riverside was lovely. Bit difficult for me to comment on food etc, as I only stayed one night for rest, as flying from Bournemouth airport early the next morning. Would certainly recommend the hotel for that reason as it was a short drive.
