Top Dinosaur Museum Hotel Reviews

The Casterbridge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place. Spotless and comfortable and great breakfast."

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."

Bramlies

10/10 Excellent

"Warm welcome, clean room and great breakfast. Easy parking also welcome after a long journey."

Newly refurbished thatched cottage in beautiful sleepy village

10/10 Excellent

Westwood House

10/10 Excellent

"First Class a must visit to see"

Delightful thatched cottage in beautiful sleepy Dorset village and countryside

8/10 Good

"The only criticism I have of the whole experience was the WiFi, I needed to work from my laptop on arrival but the internet was hit and miss. If I was staying midweek and needed to work it would have been unacceptable. The property described there was internet access but that’s not really true as we also had issues with live streaming programmes."

Charming Country Retreat on Old Sherbourne Road

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice cabin set in a private location. Host was lovely and very helpful"
