Wonderful

Great location, Lovely bar and restaurant areas. Friendly staff. Great price.
Only negative was the room and bathroom could do with an upgrade to match the quality of the rest of the hotel
The room was beautifully decorated, with lots of space, comfortable bed, big bathroom and spotlessly clean. Small touches like the DAB radio made it feel very homely. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The bar and restaurant were a good place to rest after a day of hiking.
A wonderful gem of a place to stay. The Dolphin exceeded all my expectations and was a delight in every way. I have loved this short break by the sea. The warm welcome by staff at The Dolphin stays with me & made this break extra special.
