Our visit to the Dorset coast was perfectly timed for the last week of March, a beautiful week of warm weather and sunshine. Abbotsbury village was as picturesque as its description, and Wheelwrights B&B was the perfect combination of modern comfort in an historic and charming setting. Access to the airy bedroom/bathroom is in a quiet location at the back... More

We read all the reviews written about Wheelwrights and have to say we agree with every word. Nigel and Sue are just the friendliest hosts you could wish for. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The room was so quiet and comfortable and Sue had turned on the toasty electric blankets for us so when we returned from an... More

My husband and I have just returned from our second short stay at Wheelwrights. The host and hostess Sue and Nigel have inadvertently become friends in our eyes. They are absolutely perfect in every way - friendly, professional, knowledgeable, patient, hospitable, and the most lovely genuine people you could wish to stay with. We stayed in their converted wheelwrights workshop... More

We were looking for a B & B for the August Bank Holiday weekend and boy, did we find it. Tucked away in a quiet peaceful setting, this single unit was everything we wanted. Nigel and Sue were so friendly and knowledgeable, couldn't do enough for us. The room was spacious and the bed enormous. So much to choose at... More

Nigel and Sue were really friendly and helpful. The room was lovely, it's so quiet that we had a wonderful nights sleep. In the morning breakfast was wonderful -... More

What a lovely place to stay. We booked the day before as a last minute as the sun was shining and found this a perfect stop to explore the beuatiful Dorset coast. The village is also beautiful and well worth exploring. Wheelrights lived up to the expectations we had having read previous reviews. We were greeted with a warm welcome... More

My boyfriend and I loved Wheelwrights. Nigel and Sue greeted us with a lovely cup of coffee and soon we were chatting away as they were such a interesting and friendly couple. The room is fantastic - clean, really quiet and you have your own key so can come and go without disturbing anyone. The bed is huge and so... More

Nigel and Sue have only the one unit - easier for them to spoil you.... and they do. They are so sweet and caring ....... and interesting ..... and knowledgable. No need to detail the quality of the accomodation - all up to that same high standard. More
