Although not a large town, there are a nice selection of shops along the Main Street, 5 museums catering for young and old, historical town walking trails and nature walks and a lovely Victorian park.
The selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants will satisfy any foodie lovers requirements, and on the Sunday that we visited, there was an Artisan street market and a car boot to wander around.
Parking is plentiful and cheap, and free 6pm-8am.

Dorchester has the feel of a small town with many delightful old buildings, cafes, pubs and restaurants, all seemingly selling good food. There are many museums in and around the town centre, often easy to get to on foot. There is Roman history here, medieval too, a long military heritage and of course the dinosaurs of the famous Jurassic coast. Too many things to do in just one weekend, and many more attractions only a short car-drive away. The shops? - Well we never had time to explore them!

The Dorchester Museum is excellent.
The Dorchester Museum is excellent. We called in just to find out about the Iron Age fort and ended up learning so much more. Everything is very clearly displayed and explained in enough detail, but not too much. There are some remarkable Roman mosaics, a good overview of a fascinating history of the area, and an interesting section about Thomas Hardy. We were there in cold, wet February weather, so outdoor activities didn’t suit the weather. At different times of the year the outdoor activities in the area have great promise.

We only went for my cousin wedding at the towns registry office, that was a very good experience. We had intended to look around the town on the following day but the weather was so foul we travelled back home.
The town for what we saw had some wonderful historical building, and we would have liked to explored more

Only visited for the afternoon and evening meal.
Only visited for the afternoon and evening meal. The Keep Museum is excellent with a great view from the top. Excellent Italian/Fish restaurant "Al Molo" (which was the main reason for visit). Would definitely visit again.
Charming small hotel, so beautifully decorated. Our room was very comfortable. Easy walking access to shops, town walks, and busses (we enjoyed taking the Jurassic Coaster busses to Lyme Regis, West Bay, Weymouth). Breakfast wasn't included in our booking but we added it on once there, very good value. Make sure to try the apple juice! Room had a portable fan which helped keep the room comfortable. The proprietor was very kind, offered many good suggestions for dining, sights, etc.
We were very impressed with our stay and found the staff & facilities met our expectations, to include top marks for the monetary value of our stay. We will certainly stay again at this hotel when we next venture into Dorset. We loved learning about the history of the area and the reason why the hotel is called The Rivers Arms. We wish the owners the very best of fortune with their hotel.
The owner was very friendly and welcoming. My room was perfect and the bed was so comfortable and there were great fluffy good quality towels in the bathroom too! The breakfast was delicious. Westwood House is positioned well on the Highstreet and you can walk to the shops or to the river easily. Highly recommend staying here and I will the next time I’m in Dorchester.
This was easily the best hotel during our UK trip. The staff was lovely, the food was amazing ( tasty, big portions and fairly priced), the continental breakfast had many options, the rooms were nice and clean.
The position is perfect to visit the Jurassic coast both west and east, it's just 27 minutes from Lulworth cove and Durdle door, and 25 minutes from Waymouth.
Beautiful period building, wonderful decoration and furnishings in a most convenient location to visit all Dorchester and indeed Dorsets many attractions. Very attentive staff providing delicious breakfast offerings and fabulous coffee to start your day. Room was super clean with crispy fresh linen. A real treasure to find !
The accommodation was warm, clean and the extra king-size bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and professional. The food was exceptional and well proportioned. At £85 a night including an excellent breakfast it was very good value. Set in beautiful Dorset countryside but only10 minutes from Dorchester.
We were staying there because my parents were on holiday in Weymouth, my father was taken to hospital in Dorchester so we needed local accommodation. Mark was lovely and bent over backward to accommodate us and help us out especially with my elderly mom.
Best value in town. Lovely spacious sitting room and double four posted bedroom. Extra heaters in rooms was appreciated! A great breakfast supplied by the lovely and very chatty Debbie. We will definitely stay again when visiting Dorchester.
We loved the quirky style of the property and it’s size. As a family of 5, there was plenty of space, and all rooms were a decent size. Dorchester is a perfect spot for exploring the coast in Dorset too.
It felt like a home away from home.
The location of the hotel in the centre of Dorchester was ideal and the car park behind the hotel was a real bonus. The restaurant served excellent food in the evenings and there was an unusual choice of vegetarian options.
Superb Breakfast that outshone many hotels. Home cooked with good ingredients that are not cheap. Bacon and sausages where lovely. Well looked after over the breakfast period. Good coffee to which is important to us.
Breakfast was excellent even though we hadn't originally booked breakfast the hotel staff were accommodating fitting us in last minute. The location is great for a coast or country stay in West Dorset.
All of the staff were excellent, as was the breakfast.. This is an excellent location for visiting the area of Dorset. Dorchester is a lovely place to stay and explore.
