We were greated as soon as we arrived by a very friendly and helpful member of staff who then showed us to our room. The room was clean and spacious with a very nice bed.

Lovely family room with adjoining bunk room for the kids. Amazingly clean & comfortable. One of the best “pub” stays we’ve had. Would 100% book again if re-visiting the area.

8/10 Very good

We had a nice stay at The Dolphin breakfast and evening meal very good. We were in a “ deluxe “ room, and yes the bed was lovely and comfortable and the room pleasant, however the bathroom was very small with nowhere to put anything except the floor and not even a hook on the door. The biggest problem was the sink, which was a tiny hand wash one.

Looking on the web page the Frontage looks great not so from the rear. Inside is well laid out plenty of seating areas. Cosy means small They run a reduced menu on Sundays which for me was limited. The Staff are helpful and quick to help if you have any issues.

Hotel was situated in a quant village. Staff friendly and helpful. The room was small, everything we needed for 2 nights. Not a good view from the room window. Parking is a bit hit and miss, we had to park in the large car park separate from the hotel which we had to pay for. We had a meal in the pub which was delicious.

Staff were very friendly & helpful on arrival and the on site parking was convenient. Room was nice but very small which wasn’t comfortable in the heatwave.
