4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Dorset

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Dorset is during January, April, and November, when hotel prices are lower. For a budget-friendly getaway, staying for at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully appreciate the region's key historical landmarks, cultural sites, and museums. Visitors can enjoy excursions that highlight the area's rich history, while also engaging with the friendly local community. This makes for a delightful experience that offers great value for money.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Dorset, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. To maximise your savings, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications for flash sales and special offers. By using the Smart Shopping tool via the app, you can compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re well-informed about the best options. This way, if prices drop or rooms become available, you could be among the first to seize a fabulous getaway at a great price.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at a hotel in Dorset. If you’re in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll recommend alternative dates that may be more affordable, helping you to secure the best deal.
  4. Consider your location: Opting for accommodation nearer to major attractions or city centres may provide convenience but often tends to come with higher costs. For more affordable options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit. You might also look into independent hotels located further out, which are more likely to offer a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
