Staying at the Dormer House was exactly what we could hope for on a vacation. Nancy and the entire staff were incredibly hospitable and kind, the property was quaint and comfortable, and the breakfast was superior. Our stay was extremely relaxing and comfortable - I couldn't recommend it more!

Just had a wonderful stay in the Smith Cottage attached to the main house. The cottage was a full sized apartment with bedroom, living room, kitchen and bath. The house is beautifully kept with delicious breakfast served on the porch. Afternoon cookies and tea were a nice touch. It's a five minute walk to the beach and I appreciated the beach chairs and towels they supply. It's also a 5 minute walk to the Washington Street mall and downtown.

Great location, close to beach and Washington Mall area. It's an old house with lots of character, however narrow steps to room and difficult to get in and out of tub. There are no safety bars. Perfect for couples but can be difficult for older adults, Loved the breakfast and tea time with very tasty home cooked cookies.

Great location! The staff was great! My only “complaint “ was the lack of privacy due to the window ac unit. It was very hot so the unit needed to be running the entire time. There are no shades or blinds only drapes so they needed to stay open to not cover the unit. So no privacy and the room was bright as day around 5:00 AM. Other than that we absolutely loved it.

Nancy was a great welcome with afternoon tea and treats and the breakfast was delicious. The room was clean and bathtub wonderful. However some ceiling alarm beeped at 5am for awhile and eventually shut off and the bed mattress was not too comfortable.
