FAQs about hotels in Dorchester
What guests said about Dorchester:

Couldn’t fault the accommodation.
Couldn’t fault the accommodation. However Dorchester town seemed limited with places for a meal in the town itself. Plenty of places for burgers and snacks etc; but had to drive out for a decent meal. The Keep was a very interesting place to visit. Other places of interest were either closed, or expensive to visit, or you had to book for an appointment. Fortunately the buses to Weymouth seemed regular.BarbaraUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

Although not a large town, there are a nice selection of shops along the Main Street, 5 museums catering for young and old, historical town walking trails and nature walks and a lovely Victorian park. The selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants will satisfy any foodie lovers requirements, and on the Sunday that we visited, there was an Artisan street market and a car boot to wander around. Parking is plentiful and cheap, and free 6pm-8am.

Dorchester has the feel of a small town with many delightful old buildings, cafes, pubs and restaurants, all seemingly selling good food. There are many museums in and around the town centre, often easy to get to on foot. There is Roman history here, medieval too, a long military heritage and of course the dinosaurs of the famous Jurassic coast. Too many things to do in just one weekend, and many more attractions only a short car-drive away. The shops? - Well we never had time to explore them!MikeUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Lots to do here.
Lots to do here. Walk by the river and look at the wildlife. A variety of shops to browse in. Old pubs, art gallery, museums- Terracotta warriors, dinosaur, tutankhamun. There is also an exceptional artist supply shop here, Handy for Jurrasic coast - lyme regis etc.

The Dorchester Museum is excellent.
The Dorchester Museum is excellent. We called in just to find out about the Iron Age fort and ended up learning so much more. Everything is very clearly displayed and explained in enough detail, but not too much. There are some remarkable Roman mosaics, a good overview of a fascinating history of the area, and an interesting section about Thomas Hardy. We were there in cold, wet February weather, so outdoor activities didn’t suit the weather. At different times of the year the outdoor activities in the area have great promise.

We only went for my cousin wedding at the towns registry office, that was a very good experience. We had intended to look around the town on the following day but the weather was so foul we travelled back home. The town for what we saw had some wonderful historical building, and we would have liked to explored moreMichaelUnited Kingdom

- 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 377 reviewsFern Cottage is not just an ordinary B & B - it's far beyond that - can call it 'RETREAT' if you like. The environment is so therapeutic - wonderful scenes, greenery, open landscapes all around. What about their super - size, help yourself breakfast and a humble host who enjoys to be of service to her Clients. It was my first visit but most of the guest I met there were returning back for a number of times. It's just few miles from Dorchester in Dorset - Pindletrenthide I will be back, for sure!!!!!EugeniaUnited Kingdom
- 9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 273 reviewsWithout doubt this was the best room we have rented. An idyllic location, spotlessly clean with friendly and helpful hosts. We rented for four days and would not hesitate to return or recommend to anyone. Breakfast is tasty and plentiful, the room comfortable and well furnished and the wifi fast. Bear in mind that there is no bath but the shower is large and powerful. The village is extremely pretty too and Dorchester has some great restaurants and beautiful surroundings.MickUnited Kingdom
- From € 152.75 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 163 reviewsLovely location in pretty Dorset village about 8 miles north of Dorchester. I used as a base for visiting the tank museum at Bovington - about a 35 min journey away. The accommation is across the car park from the pub which is fine and the double en-suite room was well appointed and comfy. Staff and food at the pub were excellent and it felt really friendly for someone travelling alone. Hope to return with a friend to show her the area.
NicolaUnited Kingdom - 8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 960 reviewsWe stayed in one of the family rooms which was very spacious. There were two rooms, one with a double and the other two singles. It was clean, with crisp white sheets and very comfortable beds. The breakfast was delicious as well as the food in the evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we loved the location in a pretty village, lovely countryside but also a stones through from Dorchester. Thoroughly recommend!LucyUnited Kingdom
- From € 169.20 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 527 reviewsWestwood 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!
IvoUnited Kingdom - 9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 273 reviewsThe property is situated in a quant setting by the riverbank surrounded by the beauty of nature. Yet,Dorchester and a vast choice of dining area are within just a few miles.
