About this property
Colliton Town House is a three-storey town house in Dorchester, ideal for families looking to explore the historic town, and it has an enclosed rear garden so you can enjoy dining alfresco. The well presented holiday home is close to a number of amenities including a supermarket, restaurants, bars, cafes and even a wine bar. The living/dining room is a versatile space, which can be used for dining, relaxing, or watching TV. There is a plush sofa for you to kick back on, a dining table for six, and a smart TV to keep you entertained. After an action-packed day, make use of the gravelled garden to savour a glass of wine and the utility room to freshen up your holiday clothes!
As day draws to night, retire inside and head upstairs to the first floor where you will find a well-appointed double bedroom, serviced by a spacious bathroom for a relaxing soak. Venture up another flight of stairs to discover an additional double and twin bedroom, both tastefully furnished and offering bedside lamps for a night-time read. Awaken tired eyes with a hot rinse in the shower before gathering in the social space to make a plan of action for the day ahead. Dorchester is a historic town located in the county of Dorset in southern England. The town is home to the Dorset Museum, which features exhibits on the history and culture of the area, as well as Maiden Castle, a hillfort that is among the largest and most complex in Europe.
Visit the seaside town of Weymouth, home to a number of attractions, including the SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth, Weymouth Harbour and Sandworld Weymouth. There are also a number of restaurants and bars in the town, including The George Bar and Grill, so you can wear your best outfit! A scenic drive will lead you to the 18-mile stretch of Chesil Beach, the setting of Ian Mcewan's novel and there is Dorset AONB waiting to be explored either on foot or bike. For all this and more, choose Colliton Town House.
A vacation to Dorset would be incomplete without a stop in Dorchester, which boasts Roman roads, museums, and a diverse range of pubs and eateries. Visit the County Museum, which has a room dedicated to Thomas Hardy, who was born just two miles away in Bockhampton, for a lovely walk around Maiden Castle, England's largest hillfort. Weymouth's lovely gently shelving beaches and picturesque harbour are only seven miles away, as is Portland's craggy peninsula, linked to the mainland by Chesil Beach, which is part of the spectacular World Heritage Coastline. In fact, Dorset's magical spell will enchant you so much that you won't want to leave at the conclusion of your stay!

This time was slightly different. The house was outstanding but we had trouble with the key safe. It took ages to open and then would not close properly. We used the contact phone number but it was for an office and there was a queue. We had finally gained entry but what if we hadn't? The office was about to close (Friday afternoon) and we would have had to find other accommodation for the weekend. There should be an emergency number. We did contact the office twice during the week but no-one seemed too concerned even though the fault needed to be fixed before the next rental. The house was brilliant but the backup certainly was not.

Ideally located in the centre of Dorchester and very close to main shopping areas and sights. Also well placed to visit the main sights of Dorset. Would definitely want to return as a huge house over three floors with some well presented rooms. Only points for improvement would be to replace some of the pillows in the rooms, as very flat, and there were some areas that needed dusting.

The owner has seriously thought about what you would need and want for a comfortable stay, and provided it all! The spacious kitchen has plenty of dishware and cookware, the large bathroom has plenty of soft towels, and there is even a pretty patio to enjoy if the weather is fine. A larger dining table would be nice, but that is the only change to suggest. We will definitely be back!
