A must-stay in Dorchester

Jocelyn and Karl are the perfect hosts. So friendly, beautiful boutique hotel, delicious breakfasts, very accommodating, and always offering suggestions and recommendations that are spot on. Their industry experience and warm nature is such a welcome combination for a hotel.

The property is located on High Street as a great location in proximity to museums, shops, restaurants, and transportation.

The room was immaculate and spacious for two people with a separate private sitting room.

Anything we needed, they had and gladly helped. And with a smile.

Other guests were mature. No parties or loud noises from other guests.

Perfect guest house

The breakfasts were amazing, Karl and Jocelyn were delightful, and the room was furnished with understated good taste. Lots of little touches - gorgeous sandalwood soap, Tunnoch's milk chocolate caramel wafers, lovely solid waterglasses, comfy sofa, thick pile carpet - and it's all unbelievably clean. (We used to run a guest house ourselves and know clean when we see it.) Oh, and there's a fabulous dog.

The guest house is perfectly located, especially if you're planning a visit to the splendid Dorset Museum and Art Gallery.

We don't often leave reviews but Westwood House is exemplary.

Westwood House is a real gem! Such a warm welcome from Karl, felt at home immediately. It's really central and my room was fantastic, with a little area to do my work which was separate to the sleeping area. Really comfortable bed with good linen and all spotlessly clean. Breakfast was just amazing. Huge choice and everything I tried was plentiful, of the best quality and beautifully cooked. I was sad to leave and would love to go back.

What a gem! Nestled near the top of the road running through Dorchester, Westwood is easy to find and get to. We were greeted by Karl and Midas (their gorgeous dog), who showed us to our room; he was super friendly and ensured that we had everything we need. Having fresh milk and cold water in the room was great. The room was immaculate, quiet, and comfy. Jocelyn made an impeccable breakfast in the morning with first-rate coffee, fluffy pancakes and fantastic porridge. My only regret is that we only got to stay for one night! Thanks for the wonderful stay.

Wonderful 3-night stay in this very central B&B. Warm welcome, very comfortable room and bed, very clean, and with everything we wanted. We had a room at the front of the house overlooking the road, but were not bothered by noise at all. Breakfast was great, I’m just sorry I can’t eat more early in the mornings, and missed the chance to try everything. What I did have was beautifully cooked and very tasty. We would happily come again, and recommend to others.

Another wonderful business stay at the Westwood, about the 4th of 5th stay here in the last couple of months. Stayed in both the basement room and the rear room on the 1st floor and both are well appointed, very comfortable, clean and with fresh bathrooms with good showers.

Tom and Melz are very welcoming hosts and the breakfast menu is varied - can fully recommend the Full English which is both very tasty and comprised of quality ingredients.

Very happy to recommend for both business and leisure stays.

Great family run guesthouse!

Really great centrally located guest house. Rooms were clean, comfy and well equipped, the service was fantastic and breakfast was delicious.
Only stayed one night for business but wish I was there for a few days to enjoy properly. Highly recommend staying there if you’re after a nice hub for seeing the town and exploring the local areas

I stayed at Westwood on a recent trip to Dorchester. The host was very welcoming and accomodating, and very careful about social distancing and safety.

The room was a good size with a very generous en-suite bathroom.

I thought the stay was excellent value for money and would definitely come again.

A first rate property, run by a really helpful, friendly couple. Both my girlfriend and I were extremely impressed by Tom and Mel’s welcoming attitude, the size and layout of the bedroom and en suite bathroom, the facilities on offer, and the quality and range of food available at breakfast. And the bed in our room was both comfy and huge (super king size, I think.)

Over the years I have stayed in a number of high-end expensive hotels that did not match this charming guest house for atmosphere, cleanliness and helpfulness of the staff. If I’m ever in Dorchester again, I know where I will book accommodation for my trip.

This is how B&B should always be run. Well done Tom and Mel.

The only possible downside is the lack of parking on site. But there is a (relatively) cheap large public car park a three minute walk from the property so it really wasn’t a problem.

Great bathroom and breakfast!

Central Dorchester location, easy to get to, very accommodating owners/concierge, excellent breakfast (the assortment of jams and preserves was worth it unto itself), and a lovely bathroom (bright, modern, and a claw foot tub).

The B&B won a Gold Award this year from a travel association (Tour England?) and it is well deserved. Everything is excellent, from the helpfulness of the hosts to the luxurious yet understated accommodation to the superb breakfasts. Rooms at the back are very quiet, and quite large. You won’t be sorry if you stay here.
