My husband and I had a delightful stay at The Dormer House. The parking area was spacious and right next to the building. Our room was on the third floor, walk-up. The sitting area and spacious bathroom were nice. The breakfast, served from 8:30-9:30 was delicious! So nice to have a hot breakfast served each morning. An extra treat was the cookies for the afternoon tea. Outstanding! Check-in is easy; staff is delightful. We will be back. Thank you!

Loved this BnB
gorgeous place. I loved all the detail. We stayed in a room with a lounge area. The bed was comfortable, the walk-in shower huge, and everything was just so pretty and thoughtfully laid out. The breakfasts were great. Large porch and glassed in area. There was ice available and free parking. We had a fridge in our room. Would highly recommend.
