My partner and I stayed at Dorchester House over Easter Weekend. Breakfast was fantastic, rooms were great and Ann and Dennis were lovely welcoming hosts. All in all we will definitely be back, cannot recommend it highly enough!

At breakfast there was a range of cereal, fruit and yoghurt ; a cooked breakfast and a range of homemade jams and teas. We have... More

We stayed for two nights at this B&B while touring the lake district. The location was very convenient to town. The room was clean and comfortable, but decor was a little dated. Great breakfast, friendly hosts and good value.

My 2 friends and I were booked at this perfect little B&B during a 3-day bus tour around the Lake District. We were given the family room which was comfortable with a bed for each of us. For breakfast, I had the delicious Full English Breakfast which was made even more delicious with Annie's own homemade jam! Annie and Dennis... More

This time it was with my partner and my brother and his wife. Anne and Dennis are very welcoming and the breakfasts... More

We booked into this lovely B&B with friends who had stayed here previously. Anne and Dennis made us all feel very welcome. The bedrooms were recently decorated, very tasteful and spotlessly clean! Breakfast is the best quality we've ever had in a guesthouse. Fresh fruit, well cooked breakfast and even homemade jam! We were all well set-up for a day's... More

We stayed at the Dorchester House for the New Year weekend where we were warmly welcomed by Anne and Dennis. Our room was clean, very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent, serving local produce with a personal touch. Ideal central location with easy, flat, short walk to shops/bars. Lovely house, lovely hosts, hope to be back soon.

Booked at the last minute, this B&B turned out to be a little gem. Warm, spotlessly clean, welcoming, with lovely hosts Anne and Dennis who looked after so well while still offering that freedom that if seldom seem when staying in a small B&B. Not so small really, the Dorchester is a beautiful house retaining its old style charm and... More

The second time we've stayed here this year, Ann & Dennis again were very welcoming and friendly, very clean rooms all with tea & coffee making facilities and good breakfast, very close to town centre, would recommend.
