United Kingdom, October 2023

We had a fantastic stay in a peaceful residential area, close to the town and beautiful coastal beaches. Our room was clean, tidy, and smart with lovely bathroom facilities. The hosts were very friendly, providing us with local tips and a vast range of shower gels and shampoos. The highlight was the delicious breakfast with an extensive choice, setting us up for the day. The view from our window was a pleasant surprise, overlooking a secluded back garden.

The soft pillows, which didn't provide enough support for our head and neck.

I had a lovely stay at Aquila Heights Guest House in Dorchester. The warm welcome from Derek and Wendy made me feel right at home. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a variety of amenities including a well-stocked tray of teas, coffees, and biscuits. The breakfast was outstanding, with a wide selection to choose from. I also appreciated the attention to dietary preferences, as they catered to gluten-free and vegan diets. The cleanliness of the room was impeccable, although there were a couple of spiders, which didn't bother me, but they can be removed if requested. The location is perfect, close to Dorchester and convenient for exploring Dorset. I highly recommend this guest house for a comfortable and welcoming stay.
