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.

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.

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!
