Used Bouremouth as a pit stop to Dorset.
Used Bouremouth as a pit stop to Dorset. Beach closeby so perfect especially for an evening stroll. Been to Bourenmouth before so beach and other places wasn't a priority for me. Lovely place to unwind for a quick getaway.

Milton Abbas is a quaint unusal village.
Milton Abbas is a quaint unusal village. When arrived having driven for miles through deserted country side arrived at Milton Abbas was like a twilight zone! A long street with white thatched cottages exactly the same size either side, a church post office and pub amongst woods! Pub is very good with a good varied menu. We ate steak, was dexter meat and very tender, lamb madras dorset lamb and very tender and tasty. Reasonably priced. Well worth a visit. If need somewhere to stay, choose woodland views a great, very friendly hosts Ayalia and John, comfy and great breakfast. Highly recommend.

Easy to get to and from other parts of Dorset considering we didn't drive, e.g. we walked to Mudeford, took the bus to Bournemouth, Poole, Sandbanks. Great walks along the quay, generally people were friendly and welcoming, yet not intrusive. The Boathouse by the quay is a lovely and Thomas Tripp/Sea-food Shack great place to eat at great prices, and great staff. The "work-house" museum is a must see and all the volunteers there are doing a great job. It's just a lovely part of the world.

Lyme Regis is a nice seaside resort on the Dorset coast.
Lyme Regis is a nice seaside resort on the Dorset coast. It has both shingle and sand beaches, a very nice harbour area, a riverside walk, a good promenade by the seafront. There are many restaurants and bars. It lacks the tackiness of some other resorts. It is built on the hill coming down to the sea so getting around involves walking up and down some steep slopes.

Loved Lulworth Cove, cycling near Corte Castle and visiting the castle. Well worth it. Enjoyed the Wimborne Folk Festival and the many beautiful walks in Dorset. Had a great experience Alpaca Walking, near Shaftesbury on the way to Bere Regis. Well worth a visit, kids would love it. Wendy was a great host and works extremely hard in coordinating visits in and out with these beautiful creatures. I think Wendy has under priced the Alpaca adventure as we would have paid doubled and we were treated to a cup of tea!

From £155 per night
Everything about the stay was perfect for our needs. The apartment was comfortable, clean and had all the facilities we needed. Liz is a great host, very kind and helpful and knows lots about the area so was able to give us some great advice for our trip. Location is fantastic so close to the pier and a really short walk to the beach. You can get the bus from the bus station (which is also a short walk) to all different parts of Dorset. Overall, really great stay!

We enjoyed staying at this hotel. The cooked breakfast was excellent as was the cleanliness of our room and the communal areas. We were made to feel very welcome by Louise and her staff. The location of the hotel is opposite the beach and very close to all amenities which is a great plus point. Big compliments as well to Dorset Council - public areas such as the beach, town centre and public toilets were regularly cleaned.
