There is not a lot to worry about. He might need to upgrade the Wifi for the upstairs area but its not a deal breaker.

Stan is a brilliant host. He's very service orientated and his breakfast is amazing. There is so much food you will be full for a week when you're done in the morning. If you take the time to sit and yarn with him you will enjoy your time there, but he is not overbearing in any way. This place has a feeling of home, its clean and comfortable and he goes out of his way to accommodate you. Also if you come in late and don't fancy driving the extra 20 mins away to get dinner, there is a Chinese just 5 min walk that has some pretty impressive food.

Would change nothing

The location from the train station to The Dorset Arms Hotel is within walking distance. Stan and his little dog Georgie greeted us on arrival and was very friendly and helpful, even driving us to a local Italian restaurant for dinner. Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was great . Would definitely recommend The Dorset Arms hotel to friends and family.

There was nothing not to like

Beautiful property with true English charm and a homely feel, host is a genuinely lovely person who cannot do enough for you! We genuinely felt welcomed for our whole stay it was a true home from home. Breakfast was exceptional and the gorgeous little dog was a bonus. We had the wisteria room which overlooked the gardens and was self contained would definitely recommend this room if it’s free. We will definitely be back!

Nothing to dislike

Stan the owner is just fantastic. A more generous man you could not meet. He is engaging intelligent and interesting. My friend was flying into uk from Canada and had flights messed up . Stan offered to drive me the airport to collect him. He offered advice on where to go and what to see. How to get there and if necessary at no cost take us. I cannot praise this accommodation of Stan enough. I’ll be back thank you Stan . ( walking Hadrians wall )

Great host. Friendly, clean, and safe. Great cooked breakfast. My only slight gripe was that I found the bed too soft, but that might just be my preference! Would definitely stay again if I was in the area.

Nothing, everything was great.

The Dorset arms hotel was just what we needed after walking Hadrian's Wall path! :) The host, Stan, is super friendly, informative and helpful. He went out of his way to help us. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was modern and great.

Nothing!

Very easy to get to via car, lots of parking & cosy feel. Stan was so lovely recommending where to visit and offering to drop of if needed, and Georgia is gorgeous! All the staff were polite and accommodating, really lovely weekends stay, thank you.

There isn't much in Wallsend but that's nothing to do with the hotel. Bar would be cool but it's only a short bus ride to spoons, or a 15 minute walk.

Stan is an absolute legend. So friendly and knowledgeable. Really made me feel welcome right from the word go. Also the breakfast is outstanding. Really one of the best hotel breakfasts I've had, anywhere in the world. The bed was also ridiculously comfortable!
