"This is the perfect definition of a small english town stay. I loved the vibe of the rooms and the location. The rooms were clean and they provide complimentary biscuits and tea. The customer service was good as my boyfriend needed to catch a taxi somewhere and couldn’t do it himself so the Inn was able to call for him. The breakfast felt a bit pricy, but there was a cold buffet in addition to any hot item on their menu. Their fresh honey comb was really cool!"

Sleeping Bear Hotel Dorchester

10/10 Excellent

"It was fine."

Westwood House

10/10 Excellent

"First Class a must visit to see"

The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Large room, good quality fittings, comfortable bed"

The Casterbridge

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was lovely, suitably large with 2 good wardrobes and a light over the dressing table mirror. The mattress was very comfortable and table water was always available. Breakfast was served in the conservatory with a lovely view of the enclosed garden. We ventured away from the Full English to try the omelettes which were delicious! The owner, Noorani Willamson is charming, chatty and very knowledgable about the surrounding area."

A wonderful base to enjoy your next holiday.

10/10 Excellent

"We had 4 nights at Woodlander and found it to be a charming and practical space. The property is clean and well laid out with good kitchen facilities, a spacious lounge, 2 good-sized bedrooms and a very good bathroom with large shower cubicle. A couple of car parking spaces really helps too. Decor and furniture in the lounge creates a very homely effect and in general accommodation is possibly better than expected. Pauline’s communication was helpful as were the numerous leaflets about places of interest to visit in the area. This property was ideal for our visit and we would certainly stay there again. Many thanks Steve & Jill"

Old Ship Inn

8/10 Good

"Compact rooms, located in yard behind the pub, a little noisy around closing time, all quiet after that, not a problem unless you are planning an early night. Shower clean, good flow and hot, biscuits with the tea and coffee, twin beds comfortable but we booked a double room, suggest ringing before arrival to confirm selection. Reasonably priced, would recommend if staying one or two nights."

The Little Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Clean cottage, great location, comfortable beds."

The Old Chapel - Exclusive Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Everything provided. "

The Hide With Private Wood Fired Hot Tub. A truly romantic getaway on a Vineyard

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing 3 day break in this beautiful location. The attention to detail by the owners is outstanding. ! The photos do not do this place justice. It is so beautiful you will not want to leave. Such a great location. You can do as little or as much as you want. So many wonderful places to visit nearby. However we enjoyed relaxing by the log burner or making use of the wood fired hotttub and just relaxing the most. This place is a gem and the owners are always on hand if you need anything and put some lovely personal touches into the hide. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much !"
