“Fantastic and excellent value!”

Reviewed May 21, 2013 NEW

Really enjoyed staying here. Came up alongside a work trip with my boyfriend and the room is really comfortable, with a well-stocked and reasonably priced minibar. Breakfast was brilliant and I took advantage of the toasted sandwich offer in the evening, as we didn't go out for dinner. Great price and great hosts.

“Really excellent, must stop here!”

This is a fantastic b and b. Stylish, beautifully decorated, very welcoming. Our room was spotlessly clean, had a fridge with fresh milk and really reasonably priced wines etc, so welcome after a long days travel! The bed was so comfortable, a nice sofa in room and lovely bathroom. Breakfast was totally delicious, expecially toast and homemade marmalade, yummy! Only... More

“Really sets new standards”

Reviewed May 5, 2013

We've just finished a 14-night trip along the entire South coast and up the Bristol Channel coast to Minehead. This was the best place we stayed at. Julienne introduced herself by name and immediately made us feel welcome. Our room was immaculately clean. We had a fridge in the room with fresh milk - a nice touch. Complementary bottles of...

“Outstanding B&B”

Reviewed May 2, 2013

Stayed at the Dorchester for my birthday weekend away and it was fantastic. Julienne was very welcoming and friendly. Whole place was spotlessly clean, bed very comfy and spacious on sweet. Well stock mini bar and nice hospitality tray with fresh milk. Definitely all the little touches that makes the Dorchester better than any B&B we've stayed in before. Breakfast... More

Myself and my girlfriend stayed at the Dorchester Guest House last weekend (27/04/13) and what a great place to pick! Julienne that landlady was so lovely.

“Probally the best B&B I have stayed in”

Reviewed April 22, 2013

This isn't any old B&B ... this is Julienne's B&B. The room was first class, clean, fresh and the bed very comfortable, with a fridge and mini bar which you don't normally expect. The en-suite spacious, modern and clean. Far better than some 4 star hotels, certainly more superior than any traveling type of lodging The breakfast was of a... More

“Best place to stay in Ilfracombe!”

Reviewed April 21, 2013

Stayed here for only one night which wasn't long enough. Warm friendly welcoming establishment. Clean, modern and tastefully decorated rooms. Julienne was a great host and her breakfast was the best! Hope to visit again one day.

“Excellent !!”

Reviewed March 27, 2013

We stayed at the Dorchester Guest House for 4 nights from the 18th-22nd March and I can honestly say it is one of the nicest guest houses with the most welcoming hospitality from Julienne and Peter we have encountered throughout the UK yet. Set on the main road in to Ilfracombe, we found it very easily to find and parking... More

Reviewed February 28, 2013

Given I am blessed with many opportunities to travel and experience some of the finest hotels around the world, finding The Dorchester, is without any doubt was a pleasure. Firstly, this is no ordinary Guest House, more of a promising boutique hotel. Privately owned and cared for a warm welcome waits you and to be honest the cleanliness of the... More

“Value for money with some nice touches that make all the difference”

Reviewed February 17, 2013

We stayed here totally on the off chance. They had a cancellation earlier in the day which meant they could fit us in and at a competitive price. With this in mind the room was probably not the premier room of the establishment but was absolutely spotless and appointed with extras such as a fridge, sofa and fresh milk to... More
