    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.

    Dorchester is far too quiet, we tried to get a drink in a hotel bar at 10pm and they had shut. All of the other pubs were shut too. Where we parked our car, several drunk men were staggering around, and this was at 2:30pm.

    I have been a member of the Museum for 40 years so loved seeing all the new building and clarity of the modern lay-out. My passion for the iconic water-meadows of the wonderful River Frome gave me hours of searching out the old archaeological sites and remnants of the historic sluices. The restaurants are plentiful and all different which makes eating out an event. The X Jurassic coast buses are a wonderful way to see the rest of Dorset and the famous Hardy country. I defy anyone to be at a loss when visiting that ancient literary and agriculturally unique part of Dorset.

    Location was excellent, 5 minutes from the town centre and directly opposite Dorchester Hospital where i need to visit. Clean, comfortable room that was right at the back of the pub, no noise from either the pub or the road. It was half the price of the premier inn and much better located - Premier Inn wanted over £130 for one night, don't pay it and choose smaller, independent pubs and hotels like this !

    This was easily the best hotel during our UK trip. The staff was lovely, the food was amazing ( tasty, big portions and fairly priced), the continental breakfast had many options, the rooms were nice and clean. The position is perfect to visit the Jurassic coast both west and east, it's just 27 minutes from Lulworth cove and Durdle door, and 25 minutes from Waymouth.

    We enjoyed an excellent stay at Westwood House! Nothing was too much! Our room was lovely, the breakfasts delicious and Carl and Jocelyn were delightful! We had no idea of the wonderful sights, walks and history that are part of Dorchester! We highly recommend Westwood House for your stay there!
