We had a lovely stay. Hotel is very clean and a good choice for breakfast. There are quite a lot of stairs which is something to consider if you have mobility issues.

Managed to get the last room available, on the day, after being double booked elsewhere. Really handy for ferries, hovercraft and bus station, if travelling without a car. Will stay here again!
Price included breakfast...excellent value.

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

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

Great place to stay
The staff were great, breakfast was awesome and included (free), and the location is very good. If I could request one thing, please replace the mattress in #36. Overall, very good.

The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel was situated in a nice area close to the beach and the centre of the town. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I cannot comment on the breakfast as I just booked the room.
