Durdle Door Hotel

Durdle Door Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location for walking to Durdle Door and beyond. Close to local pubs and restaurants. Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Clean and tidy bedrooms. Discounted parking across the road. Visited in late September so wasn’t too busy."

The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely clean large room. Great tv with a superb picture. Plenty of tea / coffee and biscuits welcome tray. We were surprised how quiet our sleep was, the pub below was busy but no sound from it. The decoration of the whole venue is incredible with so much to look at. There is a lot of car spaces but the area is very busy so it’s a bit of a search to find one."

The Jubilee Hotel West- with Spa Facilities

The Jubilee Hotel West- with Spa Facilities

10/10 Excellent
"The room was a good size, we had a family room for 5. The room was clean and tidy and good amenities in the room itself. The best aspect was the seaview which was fantastic helped by some good October weather. We didn't use the bar much as we were visiting relatives who live in Weymouth - but it looked good with plenty to do. The best thing about staying in the older hotels on the front is access to the beach/Weymouth centre, room size and view. Overall very happy with the hotel and the price. Would definitely stay again - thanks."

Belhuish Farmhouse

Belhuish Farmhouse

10/10 Excellent
"This property is unique and rare - owned by an innkeeper who welcomes you to his table with warm hospitality and decades of history to share. Mr. Miller is a wealth of information and retired thatcher. This is not a place for you if you need a well-appointed hotel to feel good about leaving your home. This is a historic property with purbeck flag stones and Welsh slate on the kitchen floor. The stove is as wide as your arms. There are wild pheasants in the fields and silent nights nestled in a hidden valley a bit off the main road. This a place where ruins of the past sit on the land beside a welcoming farmhouse. Great for introverts, writers, couples, families, and solo travelers. Backpackers will love it."
