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?.

Been before and liked the hotel very much
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

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).

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

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.
