Town: Without seeing the market town of Dorchester, with its Roman roads, museums, and variety of pubs and restaurants, a journey to Dorset would not be complete. Visit the County Museum, which contains a display dedicated to Thomas Hardy, who was born only two miles away in Bockhampton, and take a lovely walk around Maiden Castle, the biggest hillfort in England. Weymouth's beautiful beaches and harbour are only seven miles away, as are Portland's mountainous peninsula, which is connected to the mainland by Chesil Beach and is a part of the stunning World Heritage Coastline. In fact, you'll get so enchanted by Dorset's enchantment that you won't want to leave when your time is through!

The property was great for our stay as we were attending our son's wedding which was just down the road. The facilities met our needs, my only criticism was in the living room the rug tended to ruck up which was a bit of a trip hazard, but overall we had everything we needed and the hamper was a lovely touch

Lovely house in the town centre

A very comfortable, well-appointed house with lots of stairs over an estate agent. Excellent location near all the amenities of Dorchester.

A 3 night stay for 4 of us to explore Dorchester

Very stylish! we brought/cooked our own supper for the first two nights of our stay, eating out at a very nice Italian restaurarn on our last night. Spacious accommodation for us (2 couples) but lots of stairs! Bathroom/loo for the lower 2 bedrooms is up 2 short flights. Only the top floor bedroom has an ensuite bath/loo.Safe, easy and secure parking for 2 cars. but we did all our exploring of Dorchester on foot.
