Courteous, friendly staff. Booked the ensuite queen. Great bathroom. Only issue was the bedroom window which rattled most of the night.

10/10 Exceptional

It was so peaceful and I could sleep with the window open and get lovely fresh air (I live on a farm). The beds were clean and comfortable and I actually found that unisex bathrooms can work admirably, even when the Hotel was fully occupied.

Derby day

An overnight trip to Derby so we could experience the floating sauna. The hotel is room only with shared bathrooms. Everything is spotless. Staff were very friendly. Dinner was great and the continental breakfast supplied is beyond usual expectations. They have a laundromat on site and a bike shed for those who ride. Cute little town

Everything you could need and more!

I loved the Dorset Hotel, it had everything you could want, a great food and drink menu (I can highly recommend their whisky selection!) immaculate clean bedrooms, smoking hot water and friendly knowledgeable staff. I was immediately made to feel welcome, and, as a solo traveller, to feel like one of the gang. Being in Derby it’s in a perfect location to access all manner of interests and activities both on the doorstep and further afield. Would have loved to have extended my stay here were it not for having to move on up country.

4/10 Fair

The staff were nice & friendly. The meals we had for dinner were delicious & generous portions.The actual room we stayed in was very basic & overpriced.There was no television & when I enquired if any rooms had televisions I was told no. We took the doona off the bed as it had no cover & it was stained.

Verified review

2/10 Poor

To be honest, I am not confident to give the good review for this hotel. I wasn't sure about the shared bathroom because I didn't see when I booked. I booked because I saw the reviews was ok. However, since I went into the rooms, so many fliers were flying around, it was noisy and disgusting. I am sorry to say like that but it can't be acceptable with lots of fliers. I can't go back there anymore.
