8/10 Good

"Lovely staff and very helpful beautiful room"

Best Western Weymouth Hotel Rembrandt

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was excellent, location is good. We are a family and they put us in a 3 bed room so great for the kids. Only negative was the shower, low water pressure and not very hot water. Would stay there again."

Classic Holiday Home for 6, relaxing family getaway near Durdle Door

8/10 Good

"We planned a 2 night stay, booked based on the photos online. Property was clean, check in great. Our only downside was that the property had been converted from a 2 bed to 3 bedroom and it made space in the bedrooms really limited in size. Most of the advertised photos were from previous changes and showed more space."

Characterful Seaside Family Cottage in Ringstead, Dorset

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely, cared for and comfortable house to stay in. The house itself is extremely restful and is clearly a well loved family home. Nice touches everywhere. The rooms are large and inviting and the beds were very comfortable. We all loved the balcony room with its fantastic views. The facilities are great, everything you could possibly need is there. We love the house and its large garden and will come back. A perfect place to be: close to the cafe and play park; alongside the coastal path and very close to the beach."
