We've wanted to visit Dorchester Museum for a long time.

We've wanted to visit Dorchester Museum for a long time. It did not disappoint. So much Dorset-specific and some fabulous fossils! Lovely cafe in the museum too. Market Day is a Wednesday in Dorchester best visited in morning as they wind up early afternoon.

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.

Plenty of parking. Good selection of shops. Fair amount of attractions e.g. Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum, within 45 minutes drive away. Local bus service seemed available for some of them. Attractive countryside.

Dorchester is a quaint town that is always a pleasure to visit. It has a brilliant market and there are plenty of shops to visit. It it well served with different museums and the Tutankhamun and Terracotta Army ones are a definite visit for me. There are also plenty of cafes to have some amazing food.

Westwood house was a charming Hotel / Inn from which to explore Dorchester and surroundings. Surprisingly quiet despite its Highstreet location, easy access to reasonably priced parking at the Top of Town car park (though we mostly motored around during the day). Rooms are top notch on par with most four star hotels, breakfast is excellent and hosts are charming. Win-win!

Superb bed and breakfast accommodation. Tranquil setting with stunning views. Hugely comfortable bed and sofa with every creature comfort you can imagine. Nikki was an excellent host and her breakfast ( delivered to your room) was one of the best we have had in any hotel or guest house. Thoroughly recommended.

The hotel was in a very small village that was very quiet. The restaurant and bar facilities at the hotel were exceptional and the rooms were fantastic. The location was close to Dorchester and Poole which suited are requirements perfectly.
