Although not a large town, there are a nice selection of shops along the Main Street, 5 museums catering for young and old, historical town walking trails and nature walks and a lovely Victorian park. The selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants will satisfy any foodie lovers requirements, and on the Sunday that we visited, there was an Artisan street market and a car boot to wander around. Parking is plentiful and cheap, and free 6pm-8am.JungleJanUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Dorchester has the feel of a small town with many delightful old buildings, cafes, pubs and restaurants, all seemingly selling good food. There are many museums in and around the town centre, often easy to get to on foot. There is Roman history here, medieval too, a long military heritage and of course the dinosaurs of the famous Jurassic coast. Too many things to do in just one weekend, and many more attractions only a short car-drive away. The shops? - Well we never had time to explore them!

Lots to do here.
Lots to do here. Walk by the river and look at the wildlife. A variety of shops to browse in. Old pubs, art gallery, museums- Terracotta warriors, dinosaur, tutankhamun. There is also an exceptional artist supply shop here, Handy for Jurrasic coast - lyme regis etc.

The Dorchester Museum is excellent.
The Dorchester Museum is excellent. We called in just to find out about the Iron Age fort and ended up learning so much more. Everything is very clearly displayed and explained in enough detail, but not too much. There are some remarkable Roman mosaics, a good overview of a fascinating history of the area, and an interesting section about Thomas Hardy. We were there in cold, wet February weather, so outdoor activities didn’t suit the weather. At different times of the year the outdoor activities in the area have great promise.

We only went for my cousin wedding at the towns registry office, that was a very good experience. We had intended to look around the town on the following day but the weather was so foul we travelled back home. The town for what we saw had some wonderful historical building, and we would have liked to explored moreMichaelUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

Only visited for the afternoon and evening meal. The Keep Museum is excellent with a great view from the top. Excellent Italian/Fish restaurant "Al Molo" (which was the main reason for visit). Would definitely visit again.RobertUnited Kingdom

- 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 37 reviewsYou rarely stay somewhere that exceeds expectations. The space available for 2 people was amazing. If they had a roll away you could easily take 3. Not far from Dorchester and easy access to the places of interest in Dorset. On site car parking and Tolpuddle itself is a lovely Dorset village. The host provided lots of info on eateries etc. And offered to help with any questions. Pricewise you may think the Tolpuddle is more than you usually pay. Dorset is not a cheap holiday area so keep this in mind.RobinUnited Kingdom
- 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 407 reviewsCharming small hotel, so beautifully decorated. Our room was very comfortable. Easy walking access to shops, town walks, and busses (we enjoyed taking the Jurassic Coaster busses to Lyme Regis, West Bay, Weymouth). Breakfast wasn't included in our booking but we added it on once there, very good value. Make sure to try the apple juice! Room had a portable fan which helped keep the room comfortable. The proprietor was very kind, offered many good suggestions for dining, sights, etc.
LizaUnited States of America - 8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 11 reviewsThe location of Clematis House was perfect for us, in a very pretty village, just a few minutes from Dorchester and a superb base for seeing Dorset. The house was extremely clean and comfortable and was very well equipped to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. The information booklet was comprehensive and contained all the information that we required. The property has a beautiful courtyard garden and is very quiet and peaceful. The welcome tray from the owners was much appreciated.WendyIreland

Yet,Dorchester and a vast choice of dining area are within just a few miles. The contrast of which offers both the still and peace of the property location and then those seeking a more lively visit, have the bustle of fine eateries within reaching distance.SoniaUnited Kingdom
