Fiona is a very friendly host, and we had a nice room, well located in the centre of the town!

The en-suite room in Fiona's home was perfect for our short stay. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and we had a lovely peaceful sleep. The shower was really powerful, nice big bath towels and shampoo, conditioner and body wash were provided. The location was great for us to visit Weymouth and Durdle Door. Thanks for having us!
Good sized en suite room in private flat. Powerful shower, good wifi. Convenient for Dorchester centre, no parking but public (paid) car park just across the road. There is a cat. Comfortable bed and very quiet location even though close to centre

My name is Fiona, and I am originally from Sheffield. I moved to Dorset to be nearer to my son and grandchildren. I love the warmer climate here and being able to walk everywhere, everything is on the doorstep here.
