Nestled in the heart of Dorchester, this charming Georgian townhouse is a perfect base for exploring Dorset. Set over three floors, there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out here and enjoy some quiet time or gather together as a group, and the flexibility of the bed set-up makes it an ideal choice for families and friends alike. Though cosy, the terrace is a lovely spot for an evening drink, and with the delights of Dorchester just a short walk away and the Jurassic Coast within driving distance, you’ll find something for everyone here.
