Top Dorset Hotel Reviews

The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful building. Ian, the manager, was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended place to stay."

The Knoll House

8/10 Good

"Overall we managed our stay within our expectations based on contact with the venue and reservations team. The hotel is in a great location just across the road from Knoll Beach and plays on its location. Food at breakfast and dinner is great and service excellent. Of particular note are Ally, Aidan, Damian and Olivia. This is a heritage hotel and tries as much as possible to balance the challenges of maintaining traditional features with the ongoing challenges of maintenance and modernisation whilst full renovation is pending. Overall, we made our stay work within our understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the venue. A return visit would only be possible after venue changes were completed."

The Jubilee Hotel West- with Spa Facilities

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a good size, we had a family room for 5. The room was clean and tidy and good amenities in the room itself. The best aspect was the seaview which was fantastic helped by some good October weather. We didn't use the bar much as we were visiting relatives who live in Weymouth - but it looked good with plenty to do. The best thing about staying in the older hotels on the front is access to the beach/Weymouth centre, room size and view. Overall very happy with the hotel and the price. Would definitely stay again - thanks."
