Dorset Gem Reviews

Laura

We had an amazing week here! The house was spot-on - comfy, well-stockedand beautifully furnished. The welcome basket was a lovely touchand the outdoor area was perfect for sunny BBQs. Overall, super peaceful and just what we needed for a relaxing getaway.

Emily Carter

We had a lovely stay! The views from the property were absolutely stunningand the location was perfect for us. Our dog, a lively collie cross, loved the secure garden to run around and fetch balls. We also really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a day out. The garden room was super comfyand it was great being able to walk the dog straight from the door. The welcome pack with local treats was a lovely touch. Overall, a peaceful, quiet spot we'd happily visit again!

Hannah

We really enjoyed our stay here! The place is peaceful and well-stocked, perfect for a relaxing break. It's just a short walk to the local pub, estate shopand a lovely country walk to the restaurant. The location is great for exploring Weymouth, Lyme Regisand the coast. The garden was a real hit with the dogs-so secure! It's not luxury, but it's super functional and clean in parts. Just a heads up, there's limited space for hanging clothes upstairs, especially if you have six adults. Still, we'd come back!

Emma Clarke

We had such a lovely stay at Dorset Gem! The space inside and out was perfect for our family, with plenty of room for everyone. The annex was ideal for my partner and me to get some quiet sleep. The decor was charming and well thought out. The kids loved the safe garden and trampoline, while the hot tub was just what we needed after busy days. And waking up to the view of Colmer Hill from every room was just stunning. We really loved it here, thanks a lot!

about 25 Miles

Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing. Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre. You get to see the primates themselves many of which have become famous from appearing on the TV show Monkey World - a documentary about this place. Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.
