Loved by Dolphins Hotel guests
"Whilst not in any way grand, it was the cleanest hotel room I have been in for a number of years."
"Really warm, friendly - I could ask the host for help - and yet respectful of privacy."
"Instead of a bedside table there was a bedside fridge which worked and was actually useful in my ground floor room."

Really good Hospitality and Prime Location
front parkingfirst-floor roomabundant optionscustomized breakfast
The hosts, Lena and Miles, ensured I had parking right in front. They promptly arranged a first-floor room, because I mentioned mobility concerns. The breakfast options were abundant. Miles prepared a customized breakfast according to my preference. I am grateful for their care.
The hotel lacked a lift. This posed a slight inconvenience, though it was manageable.
Location

The hotel benefits from a great location. It is a short ten-minute walk to the beach. The hotel is also conveniently only a five-minute walk to the city center shops.

My room included private bathroom facilities. The room featured tea-and-coffee-making equipment. A desk was provided in the room, that I needed to work. I am thankful for a refrigerator in the room.

The location was excellent. It was only a short walk to the town centre.
I found the room to be quite disappointing. The single towel provided was insufficient. The tea was not good. Either the milk was off or the water from the kettle tasted horrible.
