Great little stay!

We had booked a hotel room for two adults two children at the Dorrington. When we arrived we were told we had been upgraded and we had a two bedroom cottage for the same price! This was two minutes down the road and a lovely clean two bedroomed house! We were so pleased with it and would have loved to stay longer!

Wouldn’t go back

It was not ideal having to take all the kids into a bar to get booked in. The room itself was filthy, no table lamps and a green light was on in the room the whole night. It smelt like sewage in the bathroom and the heating didn’t work. No beds were made up for 2 of the guests and the pull out beds were broken. The light shades were broken it wasn’t great. The floors was sticky with stained carpet.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
The staff were lovely and helpful. The bed was clean and comfortable. The only issue was the guy in the room next door to us was blaring his TV at 230am and then gave me a mouthful when I asked him to turn it down. Luckily a member of staff was nearby and dealt with him. The bathroom was a little delapidated and needed a better clean

The Dorrington has seen better days, but if you need a place to stay over night it’s prrfect. Cost is good. Decent breakfast in the morning. Friendly helpful staff, I got exactly what I paid for and am very happy with that

Never again!

Where to begin! Nightclub playing music till 0200, girls screaming/squealing, doors banging and male voices heard till 0300. Breakfast, what a joke! Breakfast was included in the booking, had booked breakfast for 0845, no access to the dining area as the place where it 'should' have been served was locked up. Banged on the door at 0830, went back and packed our bag, placed in the car, went back to bang on the doors, front and back! No answer, no life! Miserable end to a nice previous evening. Unless you are deaf and not hungry in the morning, don't book a room!

A lot to desire.

Boy racers ragging their cars outside, loud banging door on entry, and every evening a struggle for parking space. Spiders in the bathroom, and dirty silicone sealant with mould on it in the shower.
