Keep away!
I would not recommend a stay at the Dolphin Inn at all. The overall experience was terrible. The room was small and inadequately lit. The sheets and pillow cases, although obviously clean, were placed on old and very badly stained pillows and mattress. The shower holder was broken and as a result the shower head was difficult to direct. The towels and bathroom mat were ancient and threadbare. There was no cooked breakfast, as had been advertised, and what we were given had to be eaten sat on the side of the bed. We had hoped to have a meal in the evening but was presented with a very small menu (as the chef was only part time) and the appearance of the room did not fill us with much confidence. Had a great meal elsewhere! I have learned my lesson- look at the most recent reviews - not general reviews and average ratings. -The place has obviously been good in the past but has not been cared for recently. As a place for a drink it is probably ok, but for somewhere to stay, keep away!

The staff were super friendly and welcoming. We arrived quite late, having walked all day, and the kitchen was closed but they had menus of the local take away in the pub and they ordered for us and laid out a table for us in the pub to eat. They also had an outdoor area where we enjoyed breakfast in the sunshine the following morning.

Hard bed, broken shower head height adjuster, breakfast left outside room. No table in room to use for breakfast. Had to sit on bed for breakfast. Room not serviced overnight so had to ask for new toilet roll. A 2 inchx2 inch block of eco soap was the only item to use in the wash basin and shower. Only two sockets in the room so had to play plug roulette with TV, hair dryer, kettle and chargers. Ate in the pub one night. Choice of fish, scampi and squid each with chips and peas. Nothing else. No dessert or coffee offered . At £115 per night I could have stayed in Plymouth in a chain hotel with better service and facilities for less and travelled to the memorial service I was in the area to attend. Price gouging based on scarcity of hotels in immediate area. Only bright spot was the quality of the breakfast though greatly lacking in quantity. 1 croissant, 1 muffin per person though plenty of cereal. Have been staying in hotels of all standards all over the world since being a child 70 years ago and was a professional conference organiser so well used to dealing with and staying in hotels. If this stay had been on the 4 in a Bed TV show where BandB owners visit and rate each others hotels, I would have deducted £30 a night. Next time I visit the area I’ll look for an Air Band B where eating breakfast can be on a chair at a table and I won’t end up with indegestion.
No table in room so, at the owner’s suggestion had to use a chair and sit on the bed to eat.
Broken shower head height adjuster. Only one height available
The table outside the doors to the bedrooms with breakfast options. Quality was good but limited to one croissant, one muffin each and cereal
What was left of the only item to wash with in the wash basin and shower after two people had used it for two days.

The property was very safe and secure. The staff were friendly and helpful. Enjoyed a decent meal in the pub. Very busy when we first arrived but we happened to hit Friday nights busy period. Room was comfortable as expected and amenities satisfactory. Very good breakfast in the morning. Would highly recommend.

Nice very old pub with comfortable rooms. A little difficult to find. Great for walkers. The owner and chef is leaving and we wish him and his family the very best of luck in his new business. I'm sure it will be a great success.
