Top Dorset Hotel Reviews

St Leonard's Hotel by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at st Leonards hotel as a stopover before travelling to the isle of wight. Very comfortable. Food reasonable prices and staff very polite"

Sleeping Bear Hotel Dorchester

10/10 Excellent

"We were greeted by friendly staff and shown to our room.... We were also shown the fire escape so.we didn't have to walk out suitcases through the hotel. The shower was great, the bed comfy... The cafeterias near the coffee machine downstairs were a great idea as the coffee machine wasn't working. Can recommend and will definitely be booking again if we're in Dorchester"

Fairhaven Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location and there was a great view of the sea from the window. The cooked breakfast was excellent but I was a little disappointed that the cost was additional on top of the price for the hotel room. The beds were very comfortable but the bathroom could do with a little upgrading. Overall though, a good experience and the staff were friendly and helpful. A hotel I would return to."

Best Western Weymouth Hotel Rembrandt

8/10 Good

"Liked the proximity to the beach and for walking into town. Bus stops close by. Would have liked a fridge in the room, not the cool box that was provided as it was inadequate. Great stay, staff were very friendly, restaurant was decent. Would probably stay at the Rembrandt again."

Durdle Door Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay here. Staff were top notch and welcoming. Perfect spot to enjoy Lulworth Cove. If you’re GF they take care of you but also catered for coeliac. Full English breakfast was delicious and we were able to drink in the views from the dining room. We were on our honeymoon and we would go back. Thank you to the lovely staff!"
