I had a first floor room on the side of the house, and being on a hillside there was a good view over the rooftops to the sea. The room and bathroom were clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was served from 07.30 and as I needed to leave just after 8 o clock I was very pleased that the service was very prompt. To sum up a hotel I could recommend to friends.

Good place to stay

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

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities

We found the property comfortable and felt well looked after. The room was fairly small and a little tired in places, but was good value for money and convenient for sea front, shops, trains and buses. The weather was hot and we needed windows open, and the layout of the premises was such that windows of adjacent rooms were very close to ours - the residents of one room near ours seemed to think it OK to watch TV very late at night. A bit annoying but liveable with. The marmalade was very good, and we bought some to take home.

Very nice clean quiet budget hotel. Friendly helpful check in staff. I slept very well in the comfy bed. I was disappointed breakfast didn’t start til 7:30 so missed it due to my 7:45 ferry. Apparently it’s even later during the summer months!

Pleasant area

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).
