Portland Castle is 13 km from the homestay, while Portland Museum is 16 km away. The nearest airport is Bournemouth Airport, 51 km from 5.

Location was perfect for what we required. The hosts were superb: very friendly and attentive. The house was scrupulously clean and provided all that we needed for our two night stay. The beds were very comfortable. Previous comments regarding a shared bathroom are misplaced - the hosts are only renting one room so the bathroom was available at all times.

    Debbie is a great host of an amazing historic building built in 1635. The room above a tea room was full of character and the cream teas were fantastic

    Nice clean rooms, great hosts being very helpful. We had the room above the main bar on a weekend so could hear the music and fun below from the room but that was expected. We had parking very close by on the main road which was easy. In all very good and would return for sure with no hesitation. Thanks

    We had bed and breakfast and the breakfast was exceptional. The room was very nice and it felt really welcoming. Having fresh milk delivered to your door each morning was a lovely touch. The location is great, it is only 5 minutes by car from Dorchester but you are in beautiful countryside. It was very quiet and the owners were great hosts. We will be returning in the summer for sure.

    A great stay in Dorchester. The flat was spotless and very comfortable. The sofa bed was easy to use, and well supplied with linen and blankets. The flat itself is only a few minutes walk from the centre of town, making it ideal for morning bakery runs! Jacqui was a great host, she replied quickly to questions and there was a selection of tea/coffee and milk on arrival.

    The suite is spacious, clean and comfortable. Martin and Tracy are great hosts. The breakfast basket contained good quality products and was an unexpected bonus. I can highly recommend a stay at the Dairyman suite.
