Aquila Heights Guest House

Wonderful
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : The host was very friendly & welcoming, and able to accommodate my request to deposit luggage outside of the usual check-in time. Facilities were very clean and the room very comfortable.
  : The location is very quiet & feels safe, but is a-15 mins walk away from the main facilities offered by Dorchester for dining & entertainment.

  : Aquila Heights fulfilled my requirements and expectations.
  : Unfortunately, there was a power cut one morning. Nothing the proprietors could do about it.

Fair
Traveller Type: Business Traveler
  : Inflexible management of booking. Late breakfast, was not able to have breakfast. Separate bathroom. Generally felt that my business was not desired.

  : Loved the cooked Full English breakfast on both mornings, as well as the grapefruit (always been one of my favourite fruits) and proper filter coffee! As a rural lad myself, the quiet location was ideal for me, whilst also being very easy to find; and it's just a straightforward 15 minute walk from the centre of town (and the enjoyably lively Cider Festival that we attended in the beautifully laid out Borough Gardens). The hosts were friendly and helpful; and if I ever visit Dorchester again, I'd certainly be happy to return here. It has a warm and pleasant family atmosphere that you simply don't get in the big hotels and pub rooms in the town (other friends stayed in town to attend the Cider Festival with me, and were jealous of the fact that we'd found somewhere cheaper than them...and their accommodation didn't even include a breakfast!). Heartily recommend staying here!
  : If I had to find one very slightly disappointing element of the stay it would be that my private bathroom did not adjoin my single occupancy room, so I had to adorn a dressing gown (thankfully supplied by the proprietors) to preserve my modesty when going across the landing between the two. Also, the toilet roll holder was so close to the toilet when seated that I had to contort myself to access the paper. However, these extremely minor issues did not impair my memories of a wonderful stay (and I really loved the roomy shower!)
