We've wanted to visit Dorchester Museum for a long time.

We've wanted to visit Dorchester Museum for a long time. It did not disappoint. So much Dorset-specific and some fabulous fossils! Lovely cafe in the museum too. Market Day is a Wednesday in Dorchester best visited in morning as they wind up early afternoon.

Wasn't sure what to expect but have to say Dorchester wasn't very inspiring as towns go. Two railway stations, both a fair walk from the main town streets. There's a museum and gallery but it was £15 to get in so I didn't bother. Not very exciting shops, I believe there's probably an out of town retail park but hard to access if you don't have a car.

Plenty of parking. Good selection of shops. Fair amount of attractions e.g. Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum, within 45 minutes drive away. Local bus service seemed available for some of them. Attractive countryside.

Dorchester is a quaint town that is always a pleasure to visit. It has a brilliant market and there are plenty of shops to visit. It it well served with different museums and the Tutankhamun and Terracotta Army ones are a definite visit for me. There are also plenty of cafes to have some amazing food.

Excellent location for exploring inland Dorset. Easy walking distance to plenty of restaurants. Charming host with plenty of ideas for things to do and tips on restaurants. Very clean with no outdoor shoes in bedrooms rule. 4 private parking spaces on first come, first served basis. In reality, this worked well and we had a place every day. Would strongly recommend this guest house, an oasis of peace in the centre of Dorchester.
