The room was an extension outside the pub in the old stable area, comprising of 5 rooms. It was quiet and well contained with your own front door straight into the room. Very comfy bed, a fridge with freezer compartment and everything they said would be there. Staff were very welcoming and we had a couple of pints in the pub, which I would call a proper pub that sold drinks, not food. Every room had it's own small table and chairs outside and the morning sun shone on you as you sat there with a cup of tea.

There was nothing negative about it. I always try and sit on the fence, but this had no faults.

Very picturesque court yard set up with rooms along the side. We were lucky and there was no one using the outdoor facilities. Off street parking. Wetherspoons over the road good value for meals as none on site.

Extremely narrow entrance. No wifi in rooms only in the bar.

No breakfast available. Used pub (Wetherspoons) across the road. No food available at all in The Dolphin Hotel and choice in the vicinity was limited, or had to use Wetherspoons opposite.

Would be better if food were available in the Dolphin Hotel.

Fantastic location for our needs. Owner and staff are super friendly and the rooms are really nice with everything you could possibly need. Nothing is too much trouble for the owner. We will certainly stay here next time we're down for work.
