    cozy atmosphere
    inviting sitting room
    breakfast temperature

    We enjoyed a cozy night here and especially loved sipping hot cocoa by the fireplace while playing board games. The garden area and the inviting sitting room made it a great chill spot after a long day. The breakfast was tasty, though it could’ve been served a tad warmer. 😊

    updated rooms
    comfortable stay

    It was just a decent option for a two-day stay in Dorset with good price value. The updated rooms made the stay comfortable. If you're planning to dine in, be prepared for limited wine options.

    limited play areas
    no children's activities

    The Dorset Inn was a perfect getaway for our family! The Family Suite was spacious and had a cozy sitting area where we could relax and spend quality time together. The staff was incredibly friendly and always went out of their way to help us. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety of options, which kept our kids happy each morning.

    There were no play areas for kids.

    large room
    family-friendly dining
    indoor play area

    Our family loved exploring the nearby state park, where we had a fantastic picnic by the lake and the kids enjoyed the playground. The large rooms easily accommodated our group, and the dining experience was a highlight with delicious meals that catered to everyone’s tastes.

    My kids wished for a dedicated play area indoors.

    unique breakfast
    attentive staff
    homely atmosphere
    road noise
    slow service
    cold food

    Loved the cozy vibe of the Dorset Inn. The breakfast options were fantastic with unique specials each day. Staff treated me like family, especially at the front desk. The room size was perfect for just the two of us, though we noticed some road noise from Route 30. The tavern dinners were delicious, and the bartender, Tom, was a pleasure to chat with. The setup felt very homey and welcoming, especially during the stormy weekend. One downside was our dining experience in the main dining room. Food arrived a bit cold and service lagged due to a large table nearby. Still, breakfast at the café made up for it. I’ll be back again without a doubt, but might request a room on the quieter side next time.

    historic charm
    gourmet dishes

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    The historic charm swept me off my feet, with beautiful decor that felt like stepping back in time. The dining experience was really good, featuring gourmet dishes like filet mignon that make your taste buds dance! Every breakfast was a good surprise with local ingredients, like the scrumptious blueberry pancakes I couldn't get enough of.

    friendly staff
    included breakfast
    cozy rooms
    small room

    Our group had an amazing time! We explored the beautiful local scenery and visited the playhouse, which was fantastic. The rooms were cozy, and the staff was super friendly. Breakfast was included and was a great way to start our day. Just a heads-up, the stairs can be steep, so keep that in mind for anyone who might have trouble with them.

    The only downside was that our room was a bit small, which made it a little cramped for hanging out together.
