Top Dinosaur Museum Hotel Reviews

Sleeping Bear Hotel Dorchester

10/10 Excellent

"The lady at the reception was so nice and sweet up for a chat. The hotel very modern and sparkling clean throughout. The room was huge. I absolutely loved it and I cannot recommend it enough"

Fairhaven Hotel

8/10 Good

"A pleasant family-run establishment that gave a warm and helpful welcome. Very efficient room servicing, not replacing towels or mats unnecessarily - a contribution to poluution reduction, but no notice stating policy. One or two annoying little faults: TV had a weak signal and the screen broke up rather often, soap etc. dispensers didn't dispense without a lot of effort, drawers opened and wouldn't close again."

The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Shower over flowed because the drain hole was blocked ! Reported it to the manager. Otherwise 10 out of 10 and delicious breakfast and friendly staff"

The Casterbridge

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was lovely, suitably large with 2 good wardrobes and a light over the dressing table mirror. The mattress was very comfortable and table water was always available. Breakfast was served in the conservatory with a lovely view of the enclosed garden. We ventured away from the Full English to try the omelettes which were delicious! The owner, Noorani Willamson is charming, chatty and very knowledgable about the surrounding area."

Old Ship Inn

8/10 Good

"Compact rooms, located in yard behind the pub, a little noisy around closing time, all quiet after that, not a problem unless you are planning an early night. Shower clean, good flow and hot, biscuits with the tea and coffee, twin beds comfortable but we booked a double room, suggest ringing before arrival to confirm selection. Reasonably priced, would recommend if staying one or two nights."

The Little Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Clean cottage, great location, comfortable beds."

Westwood House

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely first class in every aspect. The hosts were absolutely fantastic. Cannot praise them enough. Would fully recommend Westwood House. Superb"

The Brewers Arms

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and spacious and the hosts were very friendly and helpful."
