Condo/Apartment
Now with Netflix Self contained, self catering studio annex based in the county town of Dorchester. The towns amenities are all within short walking distance, including the new 'Brewery Square' development. Great base to explore Dorset's fabulous coast, countryside and walk in the footsteps of Thomas Hardy's Casterbridge. Motorbike friendly, high chair & travel cot available. The annex is situated in our garden but is separate from the house with it's own front door, so you will have privacy and the ability to come and go as you please. The annex is a perfect place for 2 adults to relax but there is also space to put up a travel cot (which we can supply). We can also supply a highchair. Patio doors lead to a private decking area with table and chairs. There are also steps leading down...Now with Netflix Self contained, self catering studio annex based in the county town of Dorchester.

Highly recommended - clean, quiet, convenient
Really enjoyed my stay in the annex. On arrival the biscuits were particularly welcome and I had plenty of tea bags plus a pint of milk mean you are all set. Tesco is not far away for the rest of your supplies. The kitchen has everything you need and if you are defeated by the microwave initially there are instructions for everything. The location is good, tucked away on a quiet street and you have your own little outside seating area with stolen views of the garden. I found it convenient walking to Dorchester South Station, the town centre, Dorchester West Station ( be warned both stations have a bridge with steps to cross between platforms) and the bus stop for Weymouth/town centre. The bed was comfortable, the showers hot and the towels fluffy. Darren and Wing are excellent hosts, not intrusive but very responsive if you need assistance. Don't miss the market on wednesday and the car boot sale on sunday is good for a bargain. There is plenty to do in the area. Walk on a real roman pavement in the museum, visit the roman house or walk up to Maiden Castle (wear a coat as it is windy up there). On saturday get the bus or drive to Bridport for their thriving market. Will stay again.

Amazing holiday accommodation
What a stunning place to rent. Spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a peaceful relaxing break. The owners Wing and Darren are fantastic welcoming hosts. A little welcome hamper on arrival so you can have a cup of tea /coffee and some gorgeous shortbread along with a vase of flowers. There is a book with all the information you need to either have a meal or a day out. The town is very easy to access and we found a large car park opposite the "Odeon " cinema with plenty of parking spaces and a large amount for disabled also. We had concerns initially about parking in a disabled bay in the town but once there it was easy. You can see that everything in the Annex has had alot of thought and effort put into it we were 100% happy with everything.

Could not have found better accommodation - perfect.
Don't really want to share this with anyone else as so happy with our find. Nice location just minutes away from town centre and ammmenities. Quiet comfortable annex with everthing required to make our stay enjoyable. Lovely, friendly couple who let you come and go as you please but are available if required. Liked the use of the garden as south facing, ideal for relaxing in the warm sunshine. Would definately try to book if ever we visit this area again. Thank you Darren & Wing.

This place has just about everything you need.
A great place to spend any amount of time. It is a comfortable, clean, quiet and very well equipped annex that is local to the town amenities. The kitchen has just about every utensil you might need. The bathroom has a good pressure shower. The south-east facing terrace to the garden is an ideal place to sit and rest with a drink or to eat a meal. Communication with Darren & Wing was excellent and I was made to feel most welcome. I would certainly return to stay there should I visit Dorset again.

Quiet location, and only 5 minutes from everywhere
Five minutes from the Brewery Quarter restaurants, five minutes from the train stations, five minutes from prehistoric Maumbury Rings. We loved the peace and quiet in The Annex. We loved eating on the sun terrace. We had planned to use Dorchester as a base to explore Dorset but there was so much to do and see that we only left Dorchester once (and that was only as far as Weymouth). We walked to Maiden Castle. We saw Dippy and all the history, geology and archaeology at the County Museum. We sampled local cheeses in the fabulous local shops. We walked the Roman boundary and saw the Roman Town House. We visited the Tutankhamun, Dinosaur and Terracotta Warrior museums. We visited Radipole Lake RSPB reserve. We had good food everywhere that we visited. We'll be back

Lovely! comfortable, clean and well equipped
Booked for the bank holiday weekend and had a lovely stay - good communication before arrival, very warm welcome with loads of helpful local info. Biscuits and all I needed to make a very welcome cup of tea on arrival provided, along with a book with all the information we could possibly need. Overall very comfortable and well thought out, couldn't have asked for better (even the weather was perfect!) :)

Excellent base for a couple to explore Dorset's delights !
A perfect base for a couple to explore the area ! Wing was a charming hostess, with a very warm welcome, ensuring we had all we needed to settle in. Very clean, cosy, with all amenities, despite being in their back garden had a very private feel to it, left to our own devices but safe in the knowledge that help was at hand if needed. Lots of really useful information in their welcome pack, plus lots of other tourist info / maps etc, way more than you could possibly do in just under one week's stay ! Highly recommended, will stay again in the near future i'm sure ! Thank you Wing & Darren for allowing us to stay ! xx

Perfect base for a cycling holiday.
Darren and Wing's annex was a great base for our cycling holiday. We did 4 seperate day rides into different directions travelling as far as the Isle of Purbeck. Two seperate trainlines running into Dorchester give options for A to B rides aswell. Beautiful part of the world and lots of tea rooms which are essential to a good cycling holiday!

Map
About the neighbourhood
Quiet location, found in central Dorchester in a tree lined Avenue. Close enough to central Dorchester but also close enough to beautiful walks and cycle routes.
Access
Car advised
How to get there
We live very close to both train stations in Dorchester and bus stops. Driving enter DT1 2BZ into TomTom. We would recommend a car, only because there is so much to see and do in the beautiful country side. A car is not a necessity as there is also so much to see and do using public transport which we are less than a 5 minute walk from both bus and train stations.
