No Sleep

Inn is Set in the middle of nowhere (thousands of acres of woods nearby), but Half the rooms are literally 15ft from the highway. We left after first night with no sleep and NO refund on remaining night. Room had no thermostat to set a temperature for heat, so you are either too hot or too cold. Cheap $5 foam pillows, and cheap uncomfortable mattresses. Rooms are small. Website has very limited information on the rooms. You basically have the comfort of motel 6 at $500/night. Dont ever stay here, since management only cares about TAKING YOUR MONEY. (I am a guest and frequent traveler at over 200 nights per year at hotels). We left to stay in Manchester and had a wonderful stay at Hampton Inn for less $, and amazing guest experience.

If you are not a local DO NOT GO THERE

We had a reservation for four we were 10 minutes late call Dan to let them know Sat down and a foretop that was basically obstructing the entrance to the dining room Asked for another table received some attitude and she said they could probably accommodate us within 20 minutes. There was a table that was open in the restaurant which we asked if we could sit at the comment was no that’s reserved. When is the bar we’re about to get a drink waiting 20 minutes to sit down nurse another table and we asked if we could sit there no that’s reserved. Bottom line is if you’re not from there you ain’t getting in there!

Hi Mark, I apologize that you were not happy with the four top table we sat you at to begin with. It is not often that we have specific tables requested in the main dining room, however the tavern is typically booked a few days in advanced. The night of your reservation the first table you asked to move to was specifically requested for a birthday reservation, and the tavern was booked solid. I apologize that we were unable to move you right away, however we were just waiting for two tables who had paid to leave. Within minutes of you going to the bar, both those tables became available. When I had went to let you know the table was getting cleaned & reset for your party, the hostess had to inform me that you unfortunately left the restaurant already. We are very fortunate to be as busy as we are, and we do our best to accommodate all requests. Best, Brianna Restaurant Manager The Dorset Inn

Superb!

Many inns can match the charm, serenity, history, and physical accoutrements of the Dorset Inn...but their friendliness is exemplary! The staff was universally and sincerely pleasant, helpful and engaging...and could not have been more eager to make our stay memorable. It was truly a distinction, and one which is based on two decades having been in the hospitality business. The culinary staff is the under-recognized attribute, and the meals were exemplary. Kudos to all the Dorset Inn team. Brenda

Our first getaway after having been fully vaccinated to lovely Vermont.

Lovely old inn, in a charming Vermont village with the main street lined with beautiful, antique houses. The inn is lovely and the area is beautiful, close to Manchester, VT. We had our first indoor dining in over a year in the inn's tavern on St. Patrick's Day which was excellent. The Dorset Inn staff was very kind and helpful. Reality was how all of us have been affected by the pandemic, and beginning to move forward to recovery hopefully.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful stay at the Dorset Inn. The room was updated, beautiful and clean. Dinner was excellent in the pub by the fireplace. Each staff member was very friendly and willing to help. Breakfast was included in the rate, but was served at the Dorset Bakery a short walk away. It was also a very charming place with great food and we very much enjoyed chatting with the ladies working there. We can't wait to go back!!
