Dormy House

Had very recently a spa day, it was absolutely delicious. The treatment itself was amazing (got a facial) cant remember my therapist name but she was divine. The service, the ambience, atmosphere, installations you name it was just superb. Rushing to go back

Cosy luxury hotel stay with excellent spa facilities, fantastic service and great quality food. Shout-out to the team for posting our tooth brush back to us so promptly!

We stayed at Dormy House for five nights in Studio 42, and it was a wonderful experience overall. The Room: Studio 42 was spacious, beautifully designed, and full of thoughtful touches — from the full drum kit and vinyl player to the sound system in every room. It even had two toilets, which was surprisingly convenient. The bathroom featured a modern setup with both rain and handheld shower heads, excellent water pressure, and precise temperature control. Everything about the room felt carefully considered and of high quality. Complimentary snacks and drinks were provided, the room was spotless, and the cleaning staff were consistently warm and friendly. The Service: Service throughout our stay was fantastic. While the team seemed small — often just one or two receptionists — they were exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. They assisted with dinner reservations and even offered complimentary rides within the property. The Food: Breakfast was classic English fare, served in a lovely setting with attentive and cheerful staff. The Spa: Though on the smaller side, the spa is very well equipped — featuring a steam room, sauna, warm and tropical showers, and even a snow machine! It’s compact but thoughtfully designed and never felt overcrowded. The Grounds: Beautifully maintained, with complimentary electric vehicle parking available. Minor Notes: There’s no elevator, and we arrived with heavy suitcases that had to be carried up the stairs. There weren’t any male staff around at the time, so I felt a bit bad watching the female staff struggle to help us with the luggage — but they were gracious and insisted nonetheless.

My daughter and I enjoyed a very special Morning Meander spa experience. We were made to feel very welcome from the minute we came through the door and we enjoyed all of the spa facilities. Lunch was superb with coeliac needs fully catered for. The snow room was an absolute highlight and we would love to return.

As a return visitor to Dormy House, I wanted to first of all call out the amazing team, from reception to waiting staff to spa therapists, who are just consistently wonderful and helpful with everything. From the minute you walk in, the welcome is warm and the service thorough and thoughtful. Although the spa would benefit from a larger or second sauna replacing the underused 'snow shower', I think the facilities are great. Wet areas are nicely designed and clean, treatments are excellent and the spa cafe is a great hangout spot. I do feel the need to call out that I and others I spoke to felt having kids in the spa doesn't really fit the luxury positioning of Dormy House. We were particularly conscious of this due to the extended School Holiday spa access hours for kids which were obviously not welcomed: Although there were very few parents with kids in the pool area, this does truthfully change the tone from rest and relaxation to high energy chaos for all other guests without kids - the majority of customers for the hotel. With other offerings like The Fish on the estate with more of a family friendly positioning, we felt a little kids pool there and going adult-only at Dormy would be a big improvement! If we found an alternatively like Dormy with a great restaurant and spa offering but with a strict no kids policy, that might well make us move to book there instead to be honest... Finally, unfortunately we had bad sleep in the room we were given due to the exterior door it was next to not closing properly and banging all night. Luckily staff were amazing about this the next morning and upgraded us to a much better room the following night - and we are sure the issue has since been fixed.

What a wonderful relaxing stay at Dormy House hotel! The staff throughout are fabulous and nothing is too much trouble. A wonderful welcome from Amy on the front desk and then a blissful couple of hours spent in the spa. The food was delicious and there are so many beautiful areas to sit inside and outside and take in the atmosphere. Our room was a splendid room and it was comfortable and extremely well equipped. They have thought of everything. Lots of beautiful additional touches as well such as the complementary toiletries and a little sweet treat to celebrate our anniversary. It felt like a luxurious stay, without the pretentiousness of some hotels. You were encouraged to relax. One night was not enough! We will be back.

Me and my girlfriend stayed there recently for her 30th birthday, the staff were great and made our stay extra special. It was quiet but we both needed that! The food was amazing and there were lots of things for a gluten free/vegetarian person. The only thing we were a little disappointed with, was not being able to use the spa for longer than 11am the following morning.

We absolutely loved our stay at Dormy House. From the moment you walk in you feel at home and relaxed. The rooms and decor are beautiful with a modern country vibe and have everything you need. The food at both the shed and back garden was delicious! Especially the cream tea. The spa and pool has a really nice relaxed feel. We had a couple of spa treatments and all of the therapists were very professional. We definitely would like to come back again, it felt like a proper escape!
