FAQs about hotels in Dorset
Southern English Natural Charm
With one of the highest proportions of conservation areas in England, the Dorset County includes 2 ‘Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ covering more than half of its territory. It is also famous for the ‘Jurassic Coast’, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that actually represents three-quarters of the county’s coastline.
Considering that half of the population lives in the south-east of the county, Dorset is characterised by an enchanting countryside atmosphere. Languid limestone hills and clay valleys cover a big part of its surface. Loads of Dorset hotels and inns are spread throughout this area.
Shaftesbury is one of the most picturesque towns, rolling down the hill with old rural houses. A visit to the chief town of Dorchester and its County Museum is a must. Check out some of the Dorset boutique hotels located in old refurbished manor houses, and spread throughout the county.
The Jurassic Coast runs along 155 km. It includes magnificent formations like the Lulworth Cove and the Durdle Door arch, plus the Isle of Portland with Chesil Beach and its large tidal lagoon.
The cities of Weymouth, Poole, Bournemouth, and Christchurch are located along its coasts. Experience this charming piece of England, don’t miss the Booking.com special offers for Dorset hotels.

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.5Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 186 reviewsExcellent throughout booking and our stay. We were travelling just before storm Bert took hold, and were allowed to book in early and given a parking permit to use for the weekend.The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The room was very clean and comfortable, with lots of small touches to make our stay effortless. The fridge with welcome drinks and fresh milk available 24/7.Breakfast was unique, never had a hamper of scrumptious food delivered to my room door in a hamper before. Not only was the food scrumptious, there was plenty for both of us. Then there was the “treat” on Sunday. Homemade Tiramisu, the best we’ve ever had. Will definitely be returning in the near future.Guest review byMarkUnited Kingdom

A buzzing touristy town with plenty of things to do and keep you interested, The council do a really good job keeping it clean and tidy. The waterfront is a wonderful sight and gives a good long bracing walk.Guest review byTIMUnited Kingdom - 10.0
Plenty of parking. Good selection of shops.
Plenty of parking. Good selection of shops. Fair amount of attractions e.g. Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum, within 45 minutes drive away. Local bus service seemed available for some of them. Attractive countryside.Guest review byP0tter - 10.0
Lyme Regis is extremely picturesque.
Lyme Regis is extremely picturesque. Coming from London we revelled in the stress-free environment. Plenty of places to eat on and near the seafront. The location is hilly and for older people like us, a car is necessary. Bearing in mind the hills, the local authority has done very well in its provision of car parks near the seafront. Lyme Regis is an enjoyable place to visit in itself but is also near numerous other resorts and attractions. It was our first time in Dorset and we were impressed.Guest review byIanUnited Kingdom - 10.0

I have always loved Swanage its a quintessential seaside town full of activity , I attend a Blues festival annually which is great. Pubs are friendly and plentiful and the fish & chips are outstanding. I would highly recommend a visit to Swanage, I love it and would live there if it suited my families lifestyle.Guest review byWalterUnited Kingdom - 10.0

I stayed in West Bay, part of Bridport.
I stayed in West Bay, part of Bridport. The East Beach walk was lovely most days. It's a very quiet area with nothing much apart from walking, fishing or eating , so very relaxing. It's also a very friendly (& dog friendly) place. Although parking is a bit on the dear side, the toilets were free!Guest review byPC1257United Kingdom - 10.0

Blandford Forum had a lovely park with a large waterlily pond (would be so amazing to visit this in May or whenever the lilies flower!) and a pleasant river walk . The town had a nice place to have a drink (The Crown Hotel) and a Morrisons which was convenient as well as some coffee shops and small unusual shops. There were some lovely charity shops and the town was a welcome refuge from the more busier places we could have visited. I went to the fashion museum. It was a pleasant small town.Guest review byMagentaUnited Kingdom - 8.0

This is one of my favourite places in the UK. Attractive old town centre, good bus and train services. Plenty of appealing cafés, pubs and small shops. Riverside very appealing. Surrounding countryside very attractive, plenty of good walks. Not far from the coast. Plenty to see and do in the area: Corfe Castle, Studland Bay, Swanage, Brownsea Island, and much more.Guest review byMartinUnited Kingdom - 8.0

Portland is a lovely location set a short distance away from the hustle and bustle of Weymouth. There is plenty to do and see in and around Portland, although it is easier to do these things eg; Portland Bill when you have access to your own transport. We absolutely would recommend dining at Crab House Cafe which is set near the end of the causeway before reaching Weymouth itself, and there is a quirky place called White Stones Gallery and Cafe in Easton, which has lots of local art on display amidst the tables customers eat at. There is also a fantastic area outside. Lovely garden with more artwork and tables spread about outside. We also dined as non residents at the Portland Heights Hotel which is another good dining experience with the added delight weather permitting of watching the sun setting, and of the wonderful view of Chesil Beach in its full glory.Guest review byRees
