As I type this we are staying at this guest house. It's AWFUL. The staff (owners?) seem vey nice but if i were them I would be too embarrased to show my face!!!! Awful place. I have never seen such a dirty carpet as the one in this bedroom. It's nasty. The only reason we didnt immediately go somewhere else... More

Hallway dark, dingy and dusty. Taken to room at top of house, carpets all the way up the stairs dirty and dusty. Entered the... More

Horrifically uncomfortable bed with lumpy mattress and thin pillows. We barely slept. Very overheated and if we opened the window we had the noise of the... More

I was there for a lads weekend so I wasn't too fussed about spending lots of money on plush accomodation. I booked two rooms on line, but unfortunately my friend cancelled so I cancelled his room a couple... More

On arrival, we were greeted well and politely shown to our rooms. That was about the only nice part. On entering the hotel we were hit by how hot it was. The radiator was on full blast despite the warm temperatures outside. Our room was at the top of the house and was very hot. However, that was only a... More

I thought i had to write as Dorset Villa seems to be getting a rather unfair amount of bad reviews. Yes it's true- there isn't always someone to meet you on reception but we easily found our room and our parking space which we had reserved in advance (i highly recommend doing this- it costs only £7.50 per day which...
