“A wonderful place to stay.”
Wheelwrights is a wonderful place to stay. A fantastic welcome by Sue and Nigel , who look after every need. Very comfortable and clean accommodation and excellent breakfast. Perfect location in the centre of the village with private parking. Abbotsbury has lots to offer and is a great place for a base whilst exploring Dorset. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and Sue and Nigel made it extra special with their kind hospitality.

We had a wonderful stay at Wheelwrights. The accommodation was very comfortable and there was plenty of room. Sue and Nigel are perfect hosts, very welcoming but not at all intrusive. They were very helpful in giving us information about the places to visit around Abbotsbury and beyond. This helped us to make the most of our three days in the area. Abbotsbury is a beautiful village and we loved our time at Wheelwrights.
