Westwood House, hotel in Charminster

Situated in Dorchester centre, Westwood House is a 20-minute drive from the scenic coast at Weymouth. Set in an historical 4-story building, the guest house offers free Wi-Fi and cooked breakfasts.

It was clean, comfortable. We had a room at the top of what is an town house and the views over Dorchester were wonderful from all the windows. Our room had a bedroom, a sitting room with a big telly and a large bathroom with a roll top bath and a separate great shower. Lovely thick towels provided. The breakfast which is included was first rate. Each morning I chose something different and each one, we were there 4 mornings, was delicious. The proprietors, Karl and Jocelyn, were so welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The location was perfect for us. Town centre with loads of good restaurants and coffee shops and the usual chains of shops but also lots of independent shops too. Loads of museums if that’s your thing. It is ours.

Fosters Guest House, hotel in Charminster

Located in Weymouth, 2.1 km from Weymouth Beach and 24 km from Monkey World, Fosters Guest House provides accommodation with free WiFi in a historic building.

Breakfast was amazing, freshly cooked and of high quality ingredients. The warming welcome from start to finish of my stay. Nothing was any trouble whatsoever. I had to leave early and Mark and Teresa accommodated an early breakfast especially for me. Being a seaside house there isn't a designated carpark but Teresa had already reserved me a safe and secure space just a very short walk away.

    The room was really quiet and very comfortable and overlooked the tennis court and swimming pool. The swimming looked very inviting but unfortunately the weather was such that it discouraged any swimming. The tennis was in excellent condition having just been relined and resurfaced. The breakfasts were top quality and the host, Amanda, was very friendly and helpful.
