Yalbury Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time I have stayed due to the convenient location for work. I’ve had the warmest arrival on both occasions. The room was lovely. The bed extremely comfy. And the little touches such as fresh milk and brownies are a bonus treat. Exceptional."

The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

8/10 Good

"The toilet roll holder was little bit out of reach and the 3rd floor hallway carpet had a big stain on it and only one chair in the room but still four stars"

The Casterbridge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely Georgian house in Dorchester High Street. Parking available nearby. Nicely decorated and spotlessly clean room, Residents lounge if you want somewhere quiet to read. Good breakfast. Host very friendly and provides good information on things to do in the area and recommendations for places to eat nearby. We stayed four nights and thoroughly enjoyed our visit."

Delightful thatched cottage in beautiful sleepy Dorset village and countryside

8/10 Good

"Having stayed at Yoah Cottage with 8 members of our family last year, we were delighted that it was available again this year, so we arrived this time with the addition of our baby granddaughter.Everything was as good as we remembered it, the cottage was very clean, with the exception of a few cobwebs, but this somehow added to its charm. The beds were clean & comfortable with nice linen, showers & bathroom were also good. Had a couple of meals at the New Inn next door which were fab!There were just a couple of things that could do with addressing:The sink plug in the master bedroom shower room wouldn't hold water due to a faulty seal.The wi fi instructions we were given were completely wrong, I believe the router is in the pub and there are 3 wifi extenders throughout the cottage, we figured out that you had to log in to the extender nearest the TV to access wifi, then it worked & we were able to watch the football as long as no one else in the cottage was browsing the internet.The garden furniture was quite old & rickety, especially the two chairs, which we didn't feel safe using.If these small issues were addressed, the cottage would be perfect, having said this, we would have no hesitation in recommending a stay there. We'll probably be back next year."

Westwood House

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely first class in every aspect. The hosts were absolutely fantastic. Cannot praise them enough. Would fully recommend Westwood House. Superb"

A wonderful base to enjoy your next holiday.

10/10 Excellent

Bramlies

10/10 Excellent

"The owners are a very kind, helpful family. The rooms were very clean. Good location, at walking distance to the town centre. The breakfast was really good, including healthy options. The welcome tea and cake was very nice."
