My husband and I stayed at the Dormer House for our first anniversary and we enjoyed every moment of our stay. I have severe dietary restrictions and Nancy and Nancy accommodated and offered assistance to be sure I was taken care of. Our room was clean, homey, and exactly as described. The location is the perfect distance from shopping, beach, and restaurants. We cannot wait to be back!

The property is an old Victorian house but well maintained and managed. The dining area and reception room feels homey. Initially, we were puzzled with the entrance of our room. It was outside of the main building. We have to go around the property twice before we saw the stairs to our room. Overall, we are happy with our stay.

Lack of accessibility is challenging

The location was great and free parking.delicious breakfast and friendly service.my only complaint is the accessibility to the room.the stairs were very narrow and steep.we knew that there wasn’t an elevator but my partner has a bad knee and we could barely make it up to our room.would definitely not book the Diana room again.they should let people know of this situation .

My wife and I enjoyed our relaxing weekend at the Dormer House. The bed and breakfast was everything we hoped for and more. Woke up every morning to a delicious breakfast served by hospitable hosts. Could not beat the location, short walk to the beach, shopping, restaurants, historic district, etc. Room was clean and cozy.
