“Food is fantastic but BEWARE of what room you are booked into.”

Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

I love Dorset, VT! Let's get that straight! The perfect town with plenty to do for all walks of life and of all ages. This has been my fourth visit in as many years, and I have grown to love everything Dorset has to offer. Of all my visits this has been the most disappointing. I hate to say it... More

“Great experience ! But a word of caution”

Reviewed 25 April 2013

This was our third or fourth stay at the Dorset and each time I pronounce it to be the real deal in an old fashioned Vermont Inn. We always go in the cold season to enjoy the log burning fireplaces throughout the public areas. They add to the warmth and charm that permeates the whole place. The food is also... More

“A Great Experience at the Dorset Inn”

Reviewed 23 April 2013

We had a great time last weekend at the Dorset Inn. It was our first visit to Vermont and the staff made us feel very comfortable. We will always cherish our first souvenir- a paper map of Vermont that was given to us for our day trip to Woodstock. Thank you for the great service and attentiveness you provided during... More

“Still the one!”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

We have been visiting the Inn since the early 80s, and it has changed ownership since then, but has not changed its wonderful warmth, hospitality, and grace. A historic building, oozing charm, with real fireplaces welcoming visitors to the cozy sitting rooms, and updated guest rooms with comfortable beds and lovely quirks. The dining is superb, complemented by a modest,... More

“Like being at home..... but on vacation!”

Reviewed 17 April 2013

Actually, it was 20+ years ago that I stayed here. BEFORE the Internet! Reminiscing my past, I am writing. I recall being treated like family, with staff insuring I had my meal before retiring to bed. Very quaint with history fully engulfing me. The restaurant was simply spectacular. I wish I can get back for another visit!

“One of the Best Inns in Vermont”

Reviewed 4 April 2013

A very clean and well maintained old Inn. Staff are professional, curteous and demonstrate interest in their jobs. Rooms are nicely decorated, clean, a little on the small side but that should be expected when selecting a historic building to stay in. Fireplaces in living room and in the dinning room were always burning which was very nice. Great scotch... More

“Best weekend”

My wife and I purchased a groupon for two nights at the Dorset Inn. We ended up going in January of 2013. The inn is gorgeous. It is obviously a very old inn but at the same time they have done a great job of renovating it but at the same time keepings its old charm. The room we had... More

We are so glad we could make up for your bad experience in Aruba, tho' I'm sure it was not beach weather when you were here! The Dorset inn is so cozy in the winter months with the fires burning...
