The Town House

Great place to stay with lots of space and very well appointed bathroom, kitchen erc.

It's over 3 stories so quite a few stairs which wasn't a problem for us. The place is very central to the amenities. The parking space (1 not 2) is a bonus as it's chargeable in local car parks and limited on street.

The house was fantastic, once we found the way in, as the entrance is from the car park not the front which is the address given.

Great location with easy access to all the shops. Lovely and spacious, amazing kitchen with plenty of crockery and glasses etc. The hamper was great providing tea coffee and milk etc The master bedroom is directly above the utility room and there is a constant humming noise from the boiler, which if you are a light sleeper was a little distracting. There was also a bit of noise from the street at night as the property is situated next to two pubs, so if you are a light sleeper bring some ear plugs!

Ideal location, lovely place to stay, well equipped & nice touch with the welcome hamper, only moan was the shower head in the bathroom is broken and needs replacing but otherwise very clean and welcoming and would definitely stay here again.

beautiful property, spacious kitchen and living room.

Lovely decor and paintings on the walls. Welcome basket/hamper and fresh milk on arrival was a welcome surprise. Might not suit those with limited mobility due to three flights of stairs, wonky floors, and some slanted ceilings on the top floor. Also lots of noise from the street below as it's on a main road and next door to two pubs including a weatherspoons. Ear plugs and eye masks advised. But not the fault of the property so can't fault them at all for that. Just something to be aware of when booking. Other than that - perfect!

Great location and wonderful accommodation.

You have to be prepared to climb a lot of stairs though. Exceedingly well equipped and well maintained. Lovely welcome box of goodies on arrival . This was our second visit to The Town House and it was very enjoyable once again.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Town House.

The property well equipped with china and glasses etc. So handy for the shops and restaurants. Easy get to for the coast. We would recommend Ilchester Arms at Symondsbury for a quiz night and good food. Handy to have two sets of keys.

Thank you so much for letting us rent your property over Christmas.

It was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. What a gem. It was a really thoughtful touch leaving a sumptuous hamper, Christmas decorations around the house and a tray to roast the Turkey in. We couldn’t have asked for more. The bit the rest of the world doesn’t need to know: the shower on the top floor wasn’t draining properly and the tray became full of water too quickly. This got worse as the week progressed so probably just needs a bit of bleach in the drain. It was tricky to read a book in the evening, the lights weren’t good enough. It’s probably just me but I do like to read books on holiday.

We had a great stay in The Town House.

Beautifully furnished, comfortable and well equipped. Located perfectly for exploring Dorchester on foot. The welcome hamper, with quality products, was very much appreciated. Comfortable beds and bedding. The street noise was sometimes a bit distracting during the night but all in all a very enjoyable stay. Some minor issues for your information; the en suite bathroom sink was very slow draining and the main bathroom's door handle is very loose. After some heavy rain water leaked through the second floor landing window.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and loved the house, which retained its history and period elegance, whilst being very well fitted-out with every possible modern facility.

Thank you for the wonderful hamper, which was so generous and very delicious. All the beds were extremely comfortable and the bedding was heavenly. The only point to make is that the top bathroom sink kept getting blocked, with the water rising up. We were out all day and didn't want to haul you in to fix it, but you may want to take a look. Probably just needs a good plunger. Anyway, thank you again so much, and we'll be back!

We have nothing but good to say about our stay in The Town House.

When we arrived we were very pleased to receive the welcome hamper - a lovely little touch - and to see what a lovely, clean and spacious house it was. The light in one of the bathrooms wasn't working but after a quick email the maintenance man came and fixed it before we had even gone out which we were very impressed with. The house was spotless when we arrived and there was everything we could possibly need for our comfort. Older guests might prefer the downstairs bedroom as there are a lot of stairs to the en suite at the very top. Car parking was fine, one car behind the other, and we made sure we reversed into them at the end of the day to make exit easier as the main car park was usually quite busy. No problem though - just very good to have the two spaces. Very easy to get to the shops and restaurants in Dorchester and a very good base to see the Jurassic coast. We would highly recommend The Town House as the owners had put so much effort into making their guests comfortable and we had a wonderful stay there with our family. Thank you so much.

Very nice and convenient place to stay, will book again.

Thank you.

Fantastic property right in the centre of Dorchester.

Beautifully furnished, immaculately maintained, extremely well equipped and very comfortable. Great to have parking right outside the house. Lots of stairs as the house is on 4 floors but no problem to us. Really lovely and owners have made it exceptionally beautiful with their choice of furnishings. We loved it.

We have just returned from a lovely week's holiday at The Town House.

The accommodation is excellent, with a very well stocked kitchen and super comfy beds and is decorated and furnished to a high standard throughout. Its town centre location is ideal for anyone wishing to explore Dorchester and its only a short drive to Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast. The only caveat to be aware of is that the town centre location means that it can be a bit noisy due to traffic. Also, thank you very much for the lovely welcome package, filled with scrummy foods from Dorset Happy Hamper - we really enjoyed munching our way through that!

Very comfortable accommodation in a great spot for exploring many of Dorset’s attractions.

The kitchen was well-equipped and the WiFi was excellent. It was a bit noisy at night, situated as it is on a main street with a pub next door but that’s just one of those things and the price you pay for being centrally located. It would have been helpful to have had more information about recycling. We ended up visiting the local household waste recycling centre but it seemed that dry recyclables hadn’t been collected for months - perhaps because guests are unsure what to put out and where to put the bin. Not everyone will look it up as we did. Beware the bath - the taps are the wrong way round so hot water comes out of the tap marked cold, and vice versa!

Very beautiful and comfortable property with excellent facilities.

We thought initially that the dinner plates were too big to go into the dishwasher until we found out how to adjust the top shelf. Very well located for shops and other local services. The lampshades in the top two bedrooms may not provide enough light for some people who want to read in bed.

Some lights not working, bathroom toilet position in relationship to bedrooms not ideal but understand the best that could be made with the layout.

Overall a very good experience

Really enjoyed our stay at this lovely property.

There were some initial issues regarding Wi-Fi but these were dealt with as promptly as was possible. Great location.

The property was furnished beautifully and equipped to a very high standard.

The town centre location, with a commanding view of Dorchester's main street, was ideal for us. Would we stay there again? Yes we would.
