We have been to about 8 to 10 bed-and-breakfast. This is the only time they did not have any type of in keeper on site. I did not like they had one choice of breakfast and the room that we sat in was freezing cold.

The Dormer House is perfectly situated between shopping and beach areas. Thoroughly enjoyed the home’s holiday decor, Victorian atmosphere, and coziness of our room. Beautiful, bright room to enjoy the wonderfully prepared breakfasts. Special afternoon treats awaited us when we returned from the day’s activities out and about.

Absolutely lovely property Well kept and cozy We had the suite and enjoyed the jacuzzi tub And room was spacious Only downfall is 3rd floor would not be good for elderly or anyone who has a hard time with stairs. The breakfast was also very good. We will definitely go back

It would have been nice to be greeted by the innkeeper instead of just sent emails and told to pick up your keys from the table and leave them there when you check out. The breakfast was good.

This bed and breakfast was charming and comfortable. The great & filling breakfast was served on a sunny enclosed porch. The problem we had was that right outside our window was a bright light for entry into the building that was like daylight all night long. After telling the staff about the problem, they changed the thin see through curtains to room darkening ones, which helped a little. What is actually needed are blackout curtains and blinds or shades. Do not book Room #3.
