Piddle Puddle Cabin, hotel in Dorchester

A recently renovated holiday home set in Dorchester, Piddle Puddle Cabin features a garden. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi.

Incredibly convenient location for the purpose of our visit. The cabin was cosy and cleverly and well equipped for a small space - inc microwave and fridge, plus gas hob if required (which we didn’t use). Great shower.

Emerald Lodge, hotel in Puddletown

Situated 11 km from Monkey World and 26 km from Corfe Castle in Puddletown, Emerald Lodge offers accommodation with a kitchen.

The property was very private. Perfect for 3, maximum 4 people - if you don't mind the second 'room' being accessed for others using the toilet/kitchen. But most of all, it was fully furnished with everything could possibly need.

Spacious 4 Bed Family Retreat in the Heart of Weymouth Close to Beaches & Attractions, hotel in Broadwey

Set in Broadwey and only 8 km from Weymouth Harbour, Spacious 4 Bed Family Retreat in the Heart of Weymouth Close to Beaches & Attractions offers accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free...

The house is spacious, with a big lounge a comfortable sofa, a lovely dining room with stylish chairs, a huge kitchen, 4 double bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are a bit small but the master bedroom is roomy, and has a lovely en-suite shower room. All bedrooms look nice and the beds are comfortable. None of the rooms have a wardrobe or clothes rack though, which could be a problem for people staying longe. There is a pretty family bathroom and also an extra toilet downstairs. The front and back garden both have gravel on them. There’s a drive for one car but a car could also park on the gravel and there’s also on street parking available. This house could be really great if the issues would be sorted out!
