Dorset House - B&B  

The hotel is fairly close to the pier where the foot passenger ferry drops off. The lounge looks comfortable, although we didn't really use it.

The bed was clearly very old, and the mattress extremely soft - possibly some of the springs were past their best. The walls did not block out much sound, so we got all the creaks from the people upstairs moving around. The bathroom had no ventilation, so the steam either had to condense in the bathroom, making it damp, or fill up the bedroom. The complimentary shampoo and shower gel came in plastic sachets which were quite awkward to open with wet hands. The breakfast was quite small - the quarter of a slice of fried bread being a representative example. Of the alternative options, the savoury scones came undercooked, and the bacon sandwich was a bit lacking in bacon.

Friendly clean and good service

Very friendly good breakfast and comparable beds

Dorset House is set in a prime location, close to the beach, shops & also bus station so as I do not drive was ideal. The rooms were very clean & comfortable and the wide variety of choices for breakfast were more than adequate to set us up for the days sightseeing.

Just a good comfortable overnight stay

Good breakfast (not greasy) and friendly and helpful owners.

Little bit dated in the decor but comfortable.

Very friendly welcome and feel, a great location for the beach and town, and has good facilities. Good value for money too.

Quiet location, free parking, close to seafront, reasonably priced, clean

Bed was quite uncomfortable, my wife didn't even get asked if she wanted a cooked breakfast yet was served one

Good location , good service , clean and organized. Very cosy .

The Staff were wonderfull as had to book in early as i was at my sons wedding for 2.30.pm Thank you all :)

Would of liked semi skimmed milk,in room

Very nice staff. Helpful and very responsive. Fine breakfast. Free internet service.

The computer is a bit old but it works ok and one should not be tied to the internet anyway while on vacation.

The staff were fantastic and a pleasure to meet! They even put on an earlier breakfast to accommodate. Also, the breakfast was second to none. The b&b is easy to find, even if you have never been to the island before. The garden is lovely and there is ample parking. The bar is big and has a great selection. It was £41 per night so I was not expecting the Hilton so was not really disappointed.

The size of the bedroom could be bigger, having to use an electric heater instead of central heating and the shower was not very big. Holes in the wall.

we enjoyed are stay
