The Lodge
Dorchester, South West England
The Lodge is a compact cottage in Dorchester, well suited to a small group or family of three looking for a straightforward base in South West England. It's a simple, unfussy option for those who'd rather spend their time out and about than worrying over amenities. The Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum is the closest attraction, with The Teddy Bear Museum and the Terracotta Warriors Museum both a bit further out but still within reach for a day trip. Moreton (Dorset) station gives you a train option if you fancy venturing further afield. All in all, it's a handy spot for exploring Dorchester's museums at a relaxed pace.
