Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
This is our second stay, first time we stayed in the garden room it was absolutely lovely.
This time it was occupied so we stayed in room 30 a double ensuite (never again) it was too small and the worst thing was the shower or should I say a lack of it ?. Impossible to control the heat and the water literally dribbled out. It was that bad. I had a shower around a relations house each day.
Would we stay again only if we got the garden room?.
Good place but the En-suite shower was terrible. No pressure and barely warm water in a shower that leaked water all over the floor. Kettle didn't work.
Otherwise the booking was fine. Lovely staff. Breakfast was great
No-one at desk on arrival. Room became very hot in the night and other rooms were not sound-proofed. Breakfast was satisfactory but not good (overcooked eggs on soggy toast; re-heated traditional English).
We booked for 1 night extended our stay. Michael and Dave were excellent and their home made marmalade was out of this world. Would highly recommend it
We enjoyed our stay at Dorsey Hotel, the staff were very friendly and provided great service, the towels were changed n room tidied everyday, the breakfast was very good, great choice and plenty of it with great service!
Free parking in a great location and free Wi-Fi, all and all a very good place the only negative was it is really ready for a refurbish which reflects the price we paid
Ideally situated for shops. seafront and the islands excellent bus services

OK for a couple of nights
It was clean, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was good, but it was cramped (especially in bathroom) and the shower was either freezing or scalding.
