We had a wonderful stay in Dorchester at Waterfield House BNB. The room was spacious, well appointed and very clean. The breakfast in the morning was just delicious and the owner could not help us out enough.

Nikki was a fabulous hostess. If we had wanted privacy she would have given it to us, but we enjoyed visiting with her like a new friend. Our room was very cozy, the bed comfortable, and Nikki thought of details, including a pair of binoculars in...

The breakfast was great. The addition of smoked salmon with the delicious scrambled eggs for those not eating meat would be even more perfect. The coffee was excellent.

The house sits on the banks of the famous River Frome chalk stream, with stunning views either from the Juliet balcony in your room, or various parts of the garden, over the river and the flood plains. There is plenty of wildlife to be enjoyed, including Kingfishers, Herons and Egrets and along the riverbank you can also see Brown Trout. The large double bedroom has an en suite wet room / shower, separate bath, twin sinks and lavatory. With off-road parking, no street lighting, the sound of the river gently flowing and magnificent views, Waterfield House makes a perfect place to relax and take in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Waterside has stunning views overlooking the river and water meadows. With a large private balcony accessed through the large glass patio doors, a small private courtyard at the rear of the building which is accessed from its own private gate and parking. WATERSIDE ROOM offers a luxury king-size bed, Ensuite, sofa, TV, and wardrobe. The views of the rivers and wildlife are simply breathtaking. We offer a continental breakfast, fresh fruit, yoghurt, tea/coffee making facilities and small fridge
We bought the house in 2015, after falling in love with the river and the views. I did b and b in our previous property and really enjoyed doing it, so when we moved i wanted to do B&B again and i hope our guests will also find Waterfield House a relaxing place to stay
Bradford Peverell Bradford Peverell is one of the oldest villages in Dorset which pre-dates the Roman occupation of Dorchester. The village is the birthplace of John Hutchins , Dorset's most famous historian. The church of St. Mary's is unusual for Dorset in that it is one of the few in the county with a rare, medieval spire, a fact which has recently been brought to the attention of a wider audience as doubts have been raised regarding its safety. Dr. Howley, once a rector here, rose to become Archbishop of Canterbury and it was he who crowned Queen Victoria.
