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. We'll return again next year!

Lovely stay!

Lovely place in a great location. Owners were fantastic and as I couldn’t stay for breakfast due to having a meeting early in the morning made me a delicious bacon butty for the road! Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

A great boutique B&B. The owners are super nice and accommodating. The breakfast was perfect. The room was beautiful and spacious. If it were in London you would be paying 4 times as much!

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.

We were in Dorchester for two days to explore Thomas Hardy country. Westwood Guest House was an excellent small inn that fit our needs perfectly. We especially liked the excellent breakfasts at the inn and the friendliness of Tom the proprietor.

Westwood House is on the High Street in Dorchester, ideally located for everything in the town. We were met by the owner Karl on arrival and offered an upgrade and given the suite on the top floor. Karl and Jocelyn are very friendly and happy to offer suggestions for restaurants and place's to visit in the area. Our room was very clean and comfortable and seemed to be newly decorated. The breakfasts are great, lovely local produce served by the hosts in a large, bright conservatory. We would happily return.

Great accommodation in Dorchester.

Overnight stay on rout from Heathrow to home. Hosts very attentive and friendly without being intrusive the breakfast choices and quality was outstanding. The room, the en-suite bathroom and bed/linen was of very high quality. The bathroom was very tastefully decorated. Near to restaurants and pubs.
