Evening meal was lovely with great service.

The history of the building, the modernised bedroom and bathroom, the atmosphere in the pub and dining areas all made this a memorable and comfortable visit.
Very conveniently positioned for train station and Scillonian. Quite a bit of traffic on road below, but it didn’t disturb us very much.

Very nice room - clean and large with a great view over the harbour. The staff were fantastic and very accommodating. We arrived at 8.30 pm during the Godowan Festival when the pub was very busy but they found us a table and kept the kitchen open late to feed us. Also provided us a great cooked breakfast before the normal time as we had an early ferry. Few hotels would have been so flexible, friendly and accommodating.

I stayed at The Dolphin prior to an early sailing the following morning to The Scillies. The hotel was literally at the end of the Quay, and the staff were welcoming and helpful throughout.
I stayed in Room 2, which was spotlessly clean and everything worked. However, the floor had a definite 'list' (no, I hadn't been overindulging!) which was quite disconcerting, especially in the bathroom. Not totally unexpected in old buildings, though.
Breakfast was plentiful and fresh, although I was disappointed, as a veggie who had made them aware of that on booking months before, that they had no veggie sausages for my veggie breakfast plate. However, they gave me field mushrooms on toast in compensation, which were delicious. Took me back to my childhood.

A one night stay after returning on the Scillonian Ferry. A warm welcome to a clean refurbished bedroom. Some modest tragic noise that disappeared overnight.
Decent food with rapid helpful service made this an ideal stop after a travelling day.

The best hotel I've stayed in for a long time. Service was great, the food in the restaurant was excellent and the room was perfect. They went a little further and reserved a table incase we wanted to eat in. I cannot fault it and they completely adhere to the Covid Rules ! Would totally recommend this hotel.

We were greeted by Rosie who was so helpful and friendly. She made us feel at home right from the start. Our room ''Tater-Du'' was delightful with a great view of the harbour and of St Michael's Mount. It was clean, warm and comfy with plenty of tea and coffee available. Everyone was full of smiles and warmth. The food was delicious and in good portions. Wanted to stay longer than the 2 nights......we were having such a great time with surprisingly fabulous sunny weather.

Amazingly spacious room, fabulous shower and tasty breakfast made the Dolphin a great choice for our recent birthday break. The whole room was sparklingly clean too and so comfortable. We would recommend !

Clean, well-presented room with ensuite bathroom including a bathtub. Stair access to room above the pub. Good breakfast. Perfectly situated for the Scillonian ferry to the Isles of Scilly, which is directly opposite. Would recommend for 2 people.

Stayed one night when visiting some friends. There are only three rooms so we weren't disturbed by others. The room was very comfortable and the en-suite was spacious and clean.We had a traditional English breakfast but there were other options available and the service was goodAs the Dolphin is by the main road and adjacent to the harbour it was a bit noisy in the morning. We were also woken early by a barking dog whose owner had stopped to chat to someone and was oblivious to the dog continually barking. That's not the fault of the Dolphin obviously but secondary double glazing might have helped.
