DEFINITELY STAY HERE if you’re visiting Looe. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived until the time that we left. Andrew and Stephanie were wonderful hosts.The property is located next to the river, 100 yards from the main thoroughfare that houses the shops, pubs and restaurants. The beach is only 500 yards away and the walk takes you through Looe’s many shops and bars. We stayed in a beautiful room overlooking the river; the room was clean and comfortable and included everything that we needed during our stay including a fridge. The bed was large and extremely comfortable. Breakfast was amazing with a number of options available including the full English, smoked salmon and kippers that were all presented beautifully and cooked perfectly. I would wholeheartedly recommend this property.

Owners very welcoming and genuine and their breakfasts are exceptional quality with locally sourced produce (bacon was 1/2 cm thick with virtually no fat-it was that good!) and variety of choice was excellent. Room and whole property was clean to a very high standard and the bed was REALLY comfortable (like Premier Inn comfortable) so I slept really well. Parking was included nearby with a permit and the whole town centre bustled with cobbled street corners with places to eat and drink plus the beach was a 5 min walk away. The only thing I'd add and this is no way a criticism would be the room was quite low ceilings due to being on upper floor and as I'm quite tall I had to duck a lot and the only other thing I'd have loved to have had in my room would be a bath. But other than that it really was a great stay and if you're visiting Looe, Cornwall I highly recommend it.

Had plenty of traditional English character & charm. The hosts (Stephanie & Andrew) were very friendly, welcoming & professional. The breakfasts were delicious & well presented with great choices. The bed & pillows were comfy with good quality linen & towels. Great view from our window. Great views from the property’s common areas (dining, balcony & terraces). Close to train & buses. Mini bar fridge & kettle with tea, coffee, sugar & fresh milk in room. Good quality refillable hand soap, lotion & bodywash supplied.

The parking is very tight with metal bollards to navigate on either side - would be great if they could get replaced with the smaller type ones in the middle that fold down using a key? The room & bathroom was very compact, however the space was utilised effectively. We were on the top floor - so lots of stairs - but the view made the effort worth while.

Excellent location - about a minute’s walk to the shops, bars and restaurants and about five minutes walk to the pretty beach. Free parking. Nice view. The property was very clean, very tidy and very well presented. The en-suite bedroom looked brand new! It was cosy and bright. There were lots of lovely, complimentary touches - eg shower cap, sewing kit, shoe mitt, make-up remover, a wrapped chocolate, water and milk. Hot drink facility in room, ironing board and iron. Also a hairdryer and fridge. The breakfast was delicious, with plenty to choose from - full English, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, toast, fresh juices, tea and coffee. The local produce was exceptional quality! Stephanie and Andrew were fabulous hosts!

Nothing not to like!

We stayed at Dolphin House for two nights in August 2024, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Located in East Looe, the B&B is ideally situated within easy walking distance of the town centre, making it the perfect base for exploring the area. One of the highlights of our stay was the lovely conservatory, where we could relax and watch the boats go by on the busy river estuary. It was a peaceful and scenic spot that really added to the charm of our stay. Andrew and Stephanie were perfect hosts, keeping in touch before our arrival and welcoming us with tea and coffee on the terrace, which was a lovely touch. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. The entire property was spotlessly clean, and the attention to detail was evident throughout. The choice and quality of breakfast were exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious options to start the day off right. We would not hesitate to stay at Dolphin House again if we ever visit Looe in the future. Highly recommended!

The breakfast(s) had a very good range of choice and everything was fresh and cooked to order. The location is absolutely fantastic and our room looked out directly onto the river/boats. The hosts, Andrew & Stephanie were so friendly and able to give good advice re local sites, restaurants etc.

Absolutely nothing to dislike but i would suggest that if anyone has issues with hill and stairs contact the hosts first to seek advice re room availability. I am 71yrs and my good wife not quite as old and we had no issues with being on the second floor but some, particularly of our age group, could easily struggle. I believe both hosts would give very good and honest advice .

The view from the room is great, overlooking the river. Everything was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. En-suite was super with nice hot water. Stephanie and Andrew are fabulous hosts offering local knowledge, wonderful breakfasts, beer runs and they always greet you with a smile. The outside seating ares are a lovely place to while away an hour or two with a drink accompanied by some cheese :-) It is one of the nicest places we have stayed and we would love to return.

Bit of a cliche but we really couldn't fault it.

Our room was so lovely and comfortable, huge soft bed and everything we could possibly need for our stay. The breakfast was delicious every morning and we were made to feel so welcome. Andrew and Stephanie are great hosts, helpful with recommendations for places to eat and visit and just generally friendly and welcoming (and Andrew’s lovely mum!) the location is fabulous too. I love Looe it’s my happy place and I would definitely visit the Dolphin again we had the best time.

Stephanie and Andrew were fantastic hosts. The guest house was absolutely lovely, no attention to detail has been missed. The bedroom, although a little on the small side was extremely comfortable, with lots of individual touches - a small fridge, excellent refreshments, lovely toiletries, and even a complimentary drink. The breakfast is cooked to order and there is a free, convenient parking space. I would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone.

There is nothing I can fault.
