Very friendly owner who makes you feel really welcome from the moment you arrive. The accommodation is beautifully decorated and fresh. Room was modern but kept the charm of the old building. Probably the biggest bed I've ever slept in and very comfortable. Breakfast was all locally sourced food and was delicious. The wifi was excellent and had somewhere to charge phones both sides of the bed. Accommodation is only a 5 minute walk into the centre.

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.

The location is beautiful.

The location is beautiful. The beach is only a couple of minutes away, and the local area is lovely everyone I spoke with in the local shops was so nice and friendly. Finally, the breakfast in local place was great, and I was thrilled to discover they even serve matcha! That attention to detail was the perfect bonus. I will definitely be back to stay here again and highly recommend this place

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.

Quaint place with charm and character set amongst steep hills . Pebbly beach extends from the centre towards the working harbour with a promenade between the two can be walked in ten minutes. View point a short distance to the east of the centre gives views around Lyme Bay Lots of choices for evening dining , including some dog friendly places such as The Pilot Boat, where we ate. That and other places serve beers from Palmers Brewery. Palmers 200 can’t be bettered .

Blandford Forum had a lovely park with a large waterlily pond (would be so amazing to visit this in May or whenever the lilies flower!) and a pleasant river walk . The town had a nice place to have a drink (The Crown Hotel) and a Morrisons which was convenient as well as some coffee shops and small unusual shops. There were some lovely charity shops and the town was a welcome refuge from the more busier places we could have visited. I went to the fashion museum. It was a pleasant small town.

Portland is a lovely location set a short distance away from the hustle and bustle of Weymouth. There is plenty to do and see in and around Portland, although it is easier to do these things eg; Portland Bill when you have access to your own transport. We absolutely would recommend dining at Crab House Cafe which is set near the end of the causeway before reaching Weymouth itself, and there is a quirky place called White Stones Gallery and Cafe in Easton, which has lots of local art on display amidst the tables customers eat at. There is also a fantastic area outside. Lovely garden with more artwork and tables spread about outside. We also dined as non residents at the Portland Heights Hotel which is another good dining experience with the added delight weather permitting of watching the sun setting, and of the wonderful view of Chesil Beach in its full glory.

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.
