Book a Bed and Breakfast in Dorset

If you really want to get to the heart of Dorset and explore the destination like a local, bed and breakfasts could just be the perfect choice. They crank up the character with their unique offering of bespoke rooms and suites. You'll find spots with heritage architecture and interesting original design features.

Unique character in Dorset B&B

Whether it's a romantic minimoon or a well-deserved escape from the Rat Race, bed and breakfasts in Dorset are your ticket to an authentic travel experience. Many ooze character in a way that big-name hotel chains simply couldn't dream of. They're often steeped in heritage, laden with interesting design features, or just downright cool, edgy and individual. The reason? They are the brainchild of their owners, who lovingly bestow unique touches and nuances to make them stand out from the crowd.

And the personality of these cosy pads doesn't end there. There's also the morning meal to factor in. Never mind your usual buffet of pre-boiled eggs and rotating toaster machines. It's caringly handmade and considered, often packed with local Dorset delicacies that'll have your mouth watering the moment you wake up and smell the coffee – literally. Breaking the fast is also a social experience in bed and breakfast stays, offering you a chance to meet and mingle with friendly owners and guests before a day of sightseeing.

What's more, Dorset B&B have the benefit of being part of the community fabric. Think of it this way – everyone knows you're a traveller when you hop back and forth from that high-rise hotel. That's not so when you're bedding down in a local home with local folk, eating local foods, and enjoying a setting that's indelibly local. You'll not only feel like you're a part of Dorset, but others will feel like you're part of it, too.

Budget-wary travellers could also find plenty to like from Dorset B&B. With features like WiFi, in-room TVs, outdoor seating areas, cosy communal lounges and – of course – homecooked morning meals all part and parcel to a stay, they do well to push those pennies as far as they can go. You'll also get in-the-know local tips that trump any a concierge could offer, not to mention the heart-warming vibes of a real home away from home.
