Dorset Electrical Solutions gave me a quote, turned up on time and did a great job cleaning my panels!
Rating: 5 / 5
Really pleased with the work carried out to install 2 x extractors and a PIV unit. The work was much more involved than first thought, and the poor guy was working in our loft on the hottest day of the year! But he returned a second day to finish up and the original price was honoured. A pleasure having you in our home and feeling the benefits of the extractors and PIV as soon as they were turned on!
Rating: 5 / 5
Both the men were very polite and efficient. Even though the weather was absolutely dreadful the man doing the cleaning still got up and cleaned the panels. Would recommend this company.

Fantastic service from Jason and his team. A top class clean for our solar panels (12) and the added benefit of an in depth test report on the entire system. I'd have no hesitation in recommending DES.
Rating: 5 / 5
We brought a house with 12 solar panels just over a month ago. We knew the panels were not serviced or cleaned since installed 10 years ago (2013) We reached out to DES Ltd who completed a full service and cleaning service. Not only was the job done to a high standard but the knowledge shared and showing us how the system worked has be valuable. Highly recommend and thank you. Regards Riad

Had an issue with my downstairs electrical sockets, called Jonathan who talked me through how to fix. Superb service, really helpful and will be using his services again for further work. Thanks for your help :-)
Rating: 5 / 5
This service has been run by Jonathan for 37 years now! He is courteous, helpful, and proficient. And If you call him he will endeavour to talk through with you any issues you may have, which could well save you money!! I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending Southern Electrics!!

Needed an emergency call out. Got home on Sunday evening to realise I had no power on my sockets in my house, did all the usual checks on the RCD, I couldn't figure out what was causing it, but our house had been rewired only 4 years ago (not by southern electrical services) but didn't think there would be a problem. Gave Jonathan a call. He was very good at problem solving over the phone to see if we could shortlist it to a number of issues, in the end we determined we needed him to come over and look. He was very pragmatic took care around the home, explained the reasons behind the outage, which was traced back to a fault in the wiring in the wall which we would never have found ourselves in a million years. He managed to isolate it and get us back on so we can run the household without the need for the one plug that was causing us the issue... Relief! I'd highly recommend Jonathan, did a great job. Very pleased.

I had an electrical outage. My Internet, fridge, and all appliances were out. I called for the emergency call out service and the electrician offered to help me. I sent him a photo of my mains and he was able to walk me through the issue over the phone. Great service, would definitely recommend.

Always been delighted with the work from Dorset Electrical. Our house isn't easy at times, with lathe and plaster walls Mark, our regular electrician has always managed to find a way to do the job neatly and in good time.

I have used Dorset electrical in the last couple of months for an extension on my house . I found Gavin and his team very professional and helpful and nothing was ever a problem. They made the job stress free and the work is of the highest quality.
Rating: 5 / 5
I have used Gavin and his team for some outside lighting installation on an Aircraft Hangar at Bournemouth Airport which I am very satisfied with. Dorset Electrical are an excellent choice for industrial electrical installation requirements. From start to finish very professional and safe at all times and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
Rating: 5 / 5
I've used Dorset Electrical many time, from simple light switch change to a complete loft rewire. Always on time, tidy and professional. Good advice always given and never any issues with the work. I wouldn't go anywhere else for any electrical work.
Rating: 5 / 5
Yup, the good reviews are on point. Gavin & his team did a full rewire of my house, and every aspect of working with him was A1. Starting with a detailed and fair quote; he made great suggestions that I hadn't thought of; the works, and communications were done well and on time; he was flexible to changes in my plans....generally speaking, he has a great attitude, so all-in-all I could relax and trust that the job was in good hands.

This is an absolutely amazing place. The staff were extremely attentive, the food was phenominal and definitely worthy of a Michelin star and excellent value too. They really care about service and quality here . The best food that I have eaten in a long time. Thank you so much.

Lovely place to stay. Food was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. The one thing that I would of appreciated (as an older lady) would of been a bath mat in a very slippy bath. Fabulous, would certainly visit again.

Yalbury Cottage is a place where excellence, friendliness, and quality come together seamlessly. As someone who loves travelling and exploring new cities and places, I have stayed in numerous accommodations, but none compare to Yalbury Cottage. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and look forward to returning to the area. The staff at Yalbury Cottage consistently went out of their way to be friendly and did everything possible to ensure our stay was exceptional. The room exceeded my expectations significantly, with its stunning and unique view. We truly felt as if we were at home, but in a setting with beautiful new scenery. Situated in Dorchester, Yalbury Cottage offers a perfect base to explore the area and nearby cities such as Weymouth. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, have recommended this place to others, and will continue to do so. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and everything was spotlessly and well-organised. Additionally, the thoughtful touch of leaving brownies in our room upon arrival exemplifies their dedication to Yalbury Cottage and their commitment to providing each guest with an exceptional experience. I personally can't wait to return to this charming cottage for another uniquely wonderful stay.

Fables and food has a lovely atmosphere, it is happy and Homely, has incredible food and amazing service. I had the French toast and it came out so well presented and tasted just as good as it looked! This cafe is like no other I’ve been to before as it has such a South African vibe, from the food to the decor! They even sell fresh eggs, cakes and fresh bread. Could not recommend enough!
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely food and host/wait team! We went for the special barbecue lunch and it was lovely as well as great value. My only comment would be that I'd have loved it if the food had been brought in piping hot but it was delicious nonetheless. Definitely revisiting to try other things on their menu.
Rating: 5 / 5
An absolutely brilliant cafe with delicious fresh food, friendly staff and very reasonable prices! The South African cuisine was one I had not tried before, but it was presented brilliantly to me with the wide array of inventive yet authentic dishes on offer. The coffee was also brilliant and the cakes were delicious.

Amazing service, beautiful food and a really great selection of gluten free cakes and food options. We felt well looked after and well fed! Also, the coffee is on point!

We normally stop elsewhere but it was closed on our way out fossil hunting. Saw this place and thought why not try it.. so glad we did. The chap serving was very friendly and food was served fairly quickly.. the one great thing is the name of the place. Cos it's so true. Often at roadside places I find the rolls baps are either stale or dry. But not here. They were soft and amazing. We shall be stopping there everytime we pass from now on !!!! I highly recommend this place if u like this type of food

On the way to Charmouth for a weeks break and not having had breakfast my co-pilot noticed ooh my baps! It was safe to slow and turn so we did. Two freshly cooked bacon and cheeseburgers really hit the spot. Preferring to support local businesses this place will be added to my list of places to stop. The bun was extremely fresh, and overall, probably the tastiest drive-by burger we have ever had. If you’re heading this way stop by for a break, you will be pleased you did. Also serves tea/coffee and other delectables.

Stayed at the campsite. Electric hookup, water points. Toilet/showers clean & tidy. Great walks with dogs from the site. Farmshop onsite which sells the usual plus general items for campers. Pub across the round. Had a pizza to take away. Very nice.

Absolutely lovely stay here at Christmas, the lodge had everything you could need. Really stunning location, very peaceful and quiet. A real home from home and the hot tub was a real treat. Very few minor issues such as only 1 shower mat but 3 showers so very slippy, 1 of the bathroom bins hadn't been changed on arrival and it did need a bit of a clean dust wise under the sofas and around the beds. Would highly recommend a stay here though, very relaxing time thank you.

Discovered this site August 2024. We took our touring caravan here. Very nice, friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. The facilities are clean, tidy and spacious. I am disabled and have additional requirements, all catered for here. It's a working farm and the shop on site appears to service the whole community. A really lovely place to be.

It was self-service because it's a lodge. How fantastic. The lodge Dorset is set in a beautiful location. How wonderful to wake up to the countryside, wonderful views whilst having breakfast. Superb. We would love to come back one day

Stayed at Brewery Farm for a couple of nights. It is a small site for caravans/campers. Perfect for adults that would like a bit of tranquility in a peaceful location. We arrived and simply chose a spot that was free after reading a notice on the door to do so. The location is clean and well kept. The wash area is also kept very clean. There were 4 toilets/shower wash rooms which were spotless and warm. Each room was provided with a mio and bucket to mop out after use, easily done so no issues. A lady would also give them a good clean on a daily basis. The washing up area consists of 1 long sunk with 4 sets of taps and bowls. The hard standings were good but I think the soft grassed pitches could be prone to water log in the wet season. All in all a great campsite. Near to lovely walks too.

We had a fabulous one night stay here, what a beautiful part of the world. The room was excellent, rainforest shower and huge bathtub, comfy beds, spotlessly clean. We had dinner in the evening and food was just perfect, every dish was mouth-wateringly tasty. The breakfast was very very good, fresh sourdough, good coffee and a non greasy fry up! Highly recommend.

A quintessential English pub in a beautiful location. Fantastic service from friendly, helpful staff. The long term chef is passionate about the menu and is more than happy to openly discuss the recipes with you. Whether you are calling in for a pint of ale, straight from the barrel, for dinner or staying in one of the beautiful rooms, you can be assured of having an experience that you remember and will look forward to returning.

Really excellent. As someone who also owns a small independent cafe, Potters is one of the best I have visited. Lovely food( club sandwich) almost too much to finish, and I’m a big eater. Very attentive staff, and extremely good value for money. All round an excellent little cafe.

Been a couple of times and already planning my next trip! Staff are lovely and attentive, menu is simple but wholesome with a great selection of café classics and specials. Really lovely setting and a courtyard - and a big bonus they're dog friendly!
Rating: 4 / 5
A lovely little cafe, tucked away in a Dorchester side street. A well-kept secret that the locals cherish. You can get to Potters back door and their lovely patio garden by turning left before entering Waitrose. The front door is in the street next to Tony & Guys hair salon. The cafe offers lots of homemade goodies and great tea and coffee. They are a little pricey for some of their items but it's worth paying that little bit more for quality. The staff are well above the average.
