Friendly reception. Lovely tasty breakfast with plenty of choice. Comfortable beds and high quality bathroom/towels. Lots of little helpful touches surrounded by Old world ambience and excellent High Street location for amenities. Circumstances meant we couldn't be provided with two single beds but were accommodated instead in a very pleasant upgrade room with very large bed and independent duvets. Karl and Jocelyn, thanks very much for looking after us so well.
All suited me fine.

Breakfast is very good, room or rooms are spacious with separate bedroom with comfortable large double bed, sitting room with sofas, TV, fridge and tea/coffee facility, and large clean bathroom with shower, bath, basin and toilet. Location is excellent in central Dorchester on the high street. Hosts are "lovely" helpful and friendly. Lets not forget the lovely dog !!!
Dark room and 4rth floor location (was not made very clear). Reception very basic, yet they are always there if you want them. Rates are higher than expected for the facility.

For us, it's always essential WHO runs a place. Jocelyn and Carl, you made our stay at your house a hundred percent enjoyable! The room we stayed in was very nice, the breakfast Jocelyn prepared and Carl served was the best we had during our stay in England, and we did see lots of places!

The room exceeded my expectations. We had a separate living room, bedroom and bathroom on the top floor. Karl and Jocelyn are the new owners. We were very pleased to meet them. They are very warm and friendly people. Their dog was wonderful 😊Breakfast was delicious and plentiful enough. We would be very happy to return to them again.

Great welcome from Mel and Tom. Our luggage was carried up (we’re too old to manage). Our suite was impeccably furnished. Super comfort and attention to detail. Every need was catered for, from fresh milk in the fridge to a proper coffee machine, luggage scales and sewing kit as well as iron in wardrobe. Lovely toiletries. Comfy bed with soft mattress cover and good cotton bedding. Delicious breakfast cooked to order for my husband. Quality ingredients. Artisan bread for toast.
We were on the top floor of a Georgian property so obviously there can’t be a lift. Fortunately we had takeaway food from nearby Waitrose so could stay in and eat in our comfy suite. The pillows were a bit hard. My breakfast pancakes were hard and a bit odd, not “pancakey “. I know I should have mentioned this at the time but I didn’t want to spoil the happy atmosphere and everything else was great.

The venue was in a great central location, the rooms were comfortable, clean and very well equipped and Tom was welcoming, friendly and helpful.

The property is centrally located, which means all places of interest are within a reasonable distance. The host was very welcoming and accommodating. The property is finished to a high standard and all needs are catered for. Our room was facing the road, but I have to say we did not experience any noise or a disturbed nights sleep. Breakfast was delicious and there was an excellent choice, there were also a variety of jams and marmalades to choose from. (4 night stay)The rooms are cleaned daily and the standard of cleanliness is excellent.
We would definitely recommend this property and we will return again.

Westwood house was a charming Hotel / Inn from which to explore Dorchester and surroundings. Surprisingly quiet despite its Highstreet location, easy access to reasonably priced parking at the Top of Town car park (though we mostly motored around during the day). Rooms are top notch on par with most four star hotels, breakfast is excellent and hosts are charming. Win-win!

I loved the room, it was much bigger than I imagined. There was a beautiful bath and everything needed to feel comfortable 😌
Tom and Melz are awesome! Breakfast is delicious

Fantastic location and great hospitality
5 flights of stairs to our room but was well worth it
4.8
The location is handy for town centre and the breakfast is excellent. The en suite is high quality. You can't really hear the busy street below.
The hotel has a steep spiral staircase and the smell of frying food pervaded throughout. It was a cold night and the radiators could not get the room warm.
In the morning we found a fan heater in the wardrobe.

We had a lovely room with beautiful bathroom, a fridge with fresh milk, two tv,s ,one in lounge area and one in our bedroom,lovely bedding and pillows, spotlessly clean. The breakfast was lovely, we stayed at three different bed and breakfasts this week and it was the best breakfast by far.
