The Dorrington

Hotel

Great venue, we celebrated our son in laws 30th birthday party upstairs in the club we also stayed, rooms are comfortable & clean. Jo the manager & the team was more than helpful & made sure everything was in order. Great prices breakfast was fantastic. Thank you for a great time.

Went in for a Sunday roast today and was not disappointed! Hadn’t been in for a while and the decor inside is just lovely. Got a really warm welcome and had a great selection of drinks. The food was awesome…. Lovely soft roast beef, crispy roast potatoes and lots of lovely veg and gravy. Even the yorkie was amazing and I’m a harsh judge to please! 😂 deffo pay this place a visit x.

We found The Dorrington by chance and loved it!
The rooms are so big. Beautifully decorated, clean and have everything you need.
We stayed in rooms 7 & 8 an extra large room with king size bed and extra large room with 2 singles with a shared bathroom, perfect for a family of 4
.
Each room has drawers, wardrobe, sofa and tv.
I love how where the bed is it has carpet so it’s soft when you get out of bed in the morning (great thought) then wooden floor where the sofa and TV area is. Off the hall is a fire exit door and also in the twin room is a fire exit door that takes you into a beautiful (I think — in my opinion) a Greek inspired courtyard. With a pergola and gazebo 2 benches that lights up at night! It’s so beautiful! The guys that work there and the locals, especially Geoff (cheers Geoff you’re a legend) made us feel welcome from the second we walked in.
The beer and Gin selection was fab — Happy days
Played pool, sang along to the music,
Chris, behind the bar was particularly entertaining, and so funny 😂
and we had the best nights sleep ever! Off we went to the holiday inn express in Colchester for a few nights — DO NOT STAY HERE Arrived late, had no choice but to stay
Checked out the next day Luckily for us, after a couple of emails, even though The Dorrington we’re experiencing a few minor hiccups of their own, John was so accommodating the Dorrington put us up for the rest of our stay!

Bad customer service letting people down at the last minute.

Great team and friendly service.

Lovely service and fantastic food and great price.
Will be going again…

Had a lovely lunch today, huge portions, good food and lovely staff, looking forward to trying the Sunday roasts x.

Yummy food fantastic service, great atmosphere, food was a really good price too.

Lovely hotel/bar. Very friendly helpful staff would totally recommend.

Had my 50th party at the DH and stayed in the rooms. Totally recomend this venue.

We stayed in a family room, lovely and spacious, very comfortable beds, great nights sleep
We all had a really good Breakfast!
Staff are all very welcoming
Would recommend without hesitation!

What a fantastic place to stay
staff are nice and friendly great breakfast.

Average at best on a very noisy main road so not a good night's sleep.

Stayed for one night last week in room 5. In general was nice. Cheap and cheerful with a nice cooked breakfast. Only problem was the shower rail and shower head were broken so made it hard to shower. Also needed a good clean around the sides of the cubicle. Shame about that but didnt spoil our stay. Everything else was fine. Nice staff!

Great friendly bar and hotel in Halsteae.

Do not stay here. Absolutely shocking service, rooms not maintained over a weeks visit. No hot water & breakfast is basic to say the least.

We stayed sat night seven of us Very nice place very friendly staff Very good breakfast Thank you Mr stephen Umney.

I held my partners 30th here at the weekend I cannot recommend this venue enough the bar staff jess and Michael are a real asset to this place u need medals, we also had a lot of friends stay at the venue and we did to and could not fault it thank u.

Do not recommend. Unclean and disorganised. Lost several of our party's room reservation so they were unable to attend the event. On the breakfast menu of 5 items there was only corn flakes and a full English, without bacon. Texted me and my friends to say we were being rude with our reviews. Don't stay here.

It is what £60 hotel should be definitely not the worst place I've ever stayed in that's for sure.

No food in the evening. Staff helpful to a point but room for improvement.

Had my birthday party here using the nightclub hire package. The bar staff provided were excellent especially Michael and we had a good night. However there were a couple of things which let us down. Firstly the room was left for us so filthy and whilst setting up my flip flop even came off as it was stuck to the floor. With hindsight we should have complained then and got the room cleaned but just did it ourselves. The second issue was that the package is advertised as including doorman and when shown around we were told this also however we didn't get one so anyone could walk in at anytime.

Really nice big rooms and good value and clean.

I had my wedding here, to start with there was a lack of communication but on the day they were amazing I couldn't have asked for anything more. They were always making sure we was happy and if there was a problem they dealt with it with in minutes. Upstairs was amazing clean and more than I expected, I couldn't be more happy with the Dorrington. The rooms were clean and tidy, the staff were friendly and professional at all times. The food they done for us was beyond what we could have asked for and there was more than enough to feed our guest and more. I would be more than happy to go back and do it all over again with them, they made my wedding perfect :)

Went here for wedding reception. Dark n dingy. The buffet was ok if you like using a fork to butter bread. The food would only feed a sparrow not 100 humans. The stairway was so dark you have to really watch you don't fall down and if you like sticking to a dirty sticky floor then this place is for you.

The hotel was good for the money and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Mm.

Value for money, basic room, very friendly staff, breakfast was lovely. You get what you pay for.

Cheap and cheerful. Car park was full when we arrived, but found that you could park on side streets for free. Room was in a chalet, reasonably clean. Nice for a budget. Breakfast was nice.

Noisy breakfast was small not hot.

Friendly staff. Modern clean rooms friendly service.

Great staff and great fun. Staff were helpful and experienced great service.

I stayed here overnight for work purposes and have to say I would return. Everything was lovely-the staff, the food and accommodation. Very good value for money :-).
