Amazing stay, Karl & Jocelyn were so friendly and welcoming. Rooms were lovely too, would highly recommend
Lovely place in a great location. Owners were fantastic and as I couldn’t stay for breakfast due to having a meeting early in the morning made me a delicious bacon butty for the road!
Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic place to stay, rooms were big and comfortable, breakfast was outstanding. Definitely go with Karl and Jocelyn’s recommendations for eating out we had two fabulous meals and visited the Roman house.
Excellent breakfast, and a lot of choice (tried multiple things during stay, all were excellent). Bathroom huge and very comfy. Fantastic hosts. Would stay again anytime.
Fantastic stay at the Westwood House Hotel, very comfortable room and both Karl and Jocelyn were great hosts very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to others.

Great place to stay
Great central location for sightseeing and walking along the Dorset coast and beautiful countryside. Carl & Jocelyn were lovely friendly hosts who gave us lots of tips for places to visit. Thank you!
Karl and his partner were absolutely lovely, very welcoming and friendly! The rooms are stunning and very comfortable, walking distance to everything in Dorchester. I had the best time, i strongly recommend this guest house!!
We were in Dorchester for two days to explore Thomas Hardy country. Westwood Guest House was an excellent small inn that fit our needs perfectly. We especially liked the excellent breakfasts at the inn and the friendliness of Tom the proprietor.
Really well located guest house in Dorchester. Handy for the high street and main town. My room (1) was spacious, really well decorated and very comfortable. Karl and Jocelyn were great hosts, really friendly, helpful and a super breakfast.
A great boutique B&B. The owners are super nice and accommodating. The breakfast was perfect. The room was beautiful and spacious. If it were in London you would be paying 4 times as much!
Room was excellent and Hospitality was the best i have had. Karl really went the exra mile to make sure everything from the room to your breakfast was perfect. Will 100% stay here again and i would even say this was soo much better than alot of hptels i have stayed in.
I couldn’t speak more highly of my stay here! From arrival to departure, Karl and Jocelyn were the perfect hosts!
A very friendly and attentive welcome from Karl and superb breakfast from Jocelyn, and accommodation in a lovely suite, the Westwood House is home from home, and more!
I frequently go to Dorch for business. The room is excellent and quiet, and the bed is very comfy. Very accommodating owner to provide early breakfast at the weekend. Parking close by.
Overnight stay on rout from Heathrow to home. Hosts very attentive and friendly without being intrusive the breakfast choices and quality was outstanding. The room, the en-suite bathroom and bed/linen was of very high quality. The bathroom was very tastefully decorated. Near to restaurants and pubs.
