    Louise was a fantastic host and her home is stunning. We stayed in the four poster bed room and had everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast is a particular highlight. We will definitely be booking the Tudor Cottage B&B again.

Centrally situated in beautiful West Dorset, it is 4 miles from Dorchester and about 25 minutes drive from the spectacular Jurassic coast.

Breakfast is a gourmet feast with full cooked breakfast using locally sourced produce, homemade muesli and granola, Tudor Cottage special poached plums, steeped pears, a selection of fresh fruits, toasted homemade bread with homemade marmalade and preserves and much more.
After many years running her own catering business, Louise is now thoroughly enjoying running Tudor Cottage, making it the perfect place for guests to relax and unwind in complete comfort. Two cats also live in the property; they keep a low profile and are not permitted in guests' bedrooms
