Dotty's Den Reviews

Lovely place, we loved it its been done to a high standard with lots of thought, charm and character. It is very clean and comfortable, the owners were quick to respond with any questions. Its right near the shops, train station and lovely walks. We would love to go back again.
Sharon

Absolutely stunning if I could give more stars I would pictures do not do it justice! We had an issue on a Sunday and got a quick response and quick resolution very friendly honestly could not fault the place Ill definitely stay again
Daniel
Had a fantastic stay at Dottys Den! Beautifully furnished with a level of detail and unique character not seen elsewhere. The location was perfect, with the town centre and beach within a stones throw away. Parking was no problem, we used an online parking app at the local Tesco which was cheap and only a 5 minute walk from the property. There was also parking right outside with a max stay of an hour which was useful for heavier luggage. Overall we had a brilliant time in Bridlington with its fantastic beaches, atmosphere and close proximity to the stunning cliff tops of Bempton and Flamborough Head we couldnt ask for much more! If you are staying in the area I would highly recommend Dottys Den as the place to stay.
Deborah
Nice quirky place to stay.
Sandra
Quirky and welcoming! Was absolutely stunning inside and spotlessly clean. Dont let the shabby alley entrance fool you.
Wow!!! We were transported into a most fabulous fairy tale style accommodation from the high street.The owner was a lovely guy who told us about the history of this fascinating hidey hole.We would thoroughly recommend Dottys Den to everyone we know.Ten out of ten for every aspect of a great holiday.This is a unique and gorgeous place.The stresses of every day life are put to bed here.The quiet tranquility is just what we needed.
This is a lovely apartment which is full of character, thoughtful design, and some really impressive touches. Great central location though parking is a issue, as with no designated parking space or permit to park near by the long stay car park is, a fair distance away and quite a added expense. The property is incredibly clean and cosy, and the log burner is a great feature. There was a few minor issues, we couldn't get the halogen hob to work, so was without this facility all weekend. Still think there is a few initial teething problems as you can tell, this is a recent convertion to make the guest stay more comfortable. There's no drinking glasses or wine glasses in the property. Unfortunately no salt or pepper pots. Needs bedside table or tables in the bedroom. And unfortunately there is a issue with pigeons, making noise all through the night, close to the bedroom windows. Overall the standard, cleanliness and features are very good. Just needs a little more attention to the finishing touches, to make the visitor stay more complete. This is just our honest appraisal.
The photos of Dottys Den are the very reason we booked our 2831Dec stay, but they really dont do this fantastic place justice, when you turn the last of 3 keys to gain entry, you could be forgiven for believing you have just fell down the rabbit hole, its that flippin magical ! I kid you not. We thoroughly enjoy our all too short stay .. and to add icing to the cake the natives of Bridlington were very warm & friendly plus the
