    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.

  • The Rivers Arms

    Dorchester
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.1
    Very good - What previous guests thought, 249 reviews
    We were very impressed with our stay and found the staff & facilities met our expectations, to include top marks for the monetary value of our stay. We will certainly stay again at this hotel when we next venture into Dorset. We loved learning about the history of the area and the reason why the hotel is called The Rivers Arms. We wish the owners the very best of fortune with their hotel.

    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!

    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.

    The facilities were great and a good selection of tea and coffee. There is a bar in the hotel which is cool. We found the staff helpful and friendly. The bed was massive and very comfortable and the bedding was good quality and clean.
