    Limited parking outside property.

    Karl and Josalyn couldn't do enough to make your trip enjoyable. Breakfast was superb. Our room was perfect for us on the top (fourth) floor, which wasn't a problem climbing up and down but not suitable for all. Great location.

    The room was in the attic and over 50 steps to get there but it was worth it. The rooms were clean and tidy. The bed was excellent. We had a comfortable night rest. The breakfast was enjoyable. Karl and Joycelyn were excellent hosts. We will certainly stay again.

    Karl and Jocelyn were lovely hosts and made sure we were very welcolm. They couldn't have been more helpful, which made for a very delightful stay. The breakfast was superb and probably one of the most comprehensive and excellent breakfasts we have ever had. Westwood House was ideally situated at the top of the high street with easy access to shops, pubs and restaurants. Overall and very enjoyable 5 stars.

    Karl & Jocelyn were consummate hosts and their B&B is just gorgeous! Our spacious double bedroom was lovely and even had a mini-fridge which thoughtfully had a bottle of fresh milk & a bottle of still water, that was replaced each day. Despite facing the main road our room was nice and quiet and the bed was incredibly comfortable for our 2 night stay. The breakfast in the morning was made to order and delicious and Karl & Jocelyn were so friendly and amenable. We had an exhausting drive down from Hertfordshire after work on the Friday and were worried we wouldn't arrive in time to check-in before 10pm so we called ahead and Karl reassured us they'd be ready for us whenever we got there. We had such a delightful time visiting family in the area that we will definitely be staying in Westwood House again every time we visit in future.

    Parking wasn't ideal but manageable. There are a lot of stairs in the house, if you're less mobile. Nothing Karl and Jocelyn can do about either circumstance.

    Karl and Jocelyn were fabulous hosts. New to the business they gave us a friendly, welcoming stay. Breakfast was generous with many choices. All facilities were thoughtful and plentiful. Definitely a place we'd return to.

    The room was a very pleasant surprise as it consisted of three rooms - bedroom, bathroom and small lounge. The hosts were super and nothing was a problem to them. The breakfast had an extensive menu and was top quality. The location was in the centre of Dorchester which was ideal. Parking in the nearby council carpark was not a problem. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
