The Dolphin Inn features a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Thorpeness. With free WiFi, this 4-star inn offers room service. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.8 km from Aldeburgh Beach.

The location is excellent, right in the middle of the holiday village of Thorpeness which is quaint, busy in the day and quiet at night. The restaurant is busy , though and worth booking. The rooms are lovely, very individual, well thought out and exceptionally clean, warm and welcoming. Tea and coffee facilities were good quality. The staff are truly lovely, friendly but not over friendly and the food was excellent. Their breakfast choices are wonderfully eclectic and locally sourced. We love this place and return regularly.

Chef Stuart made us a breakfast of which legends are born of, exceptional doesn't cover it. Phil the barman helped us with numbers for local take aways that delivered, the locals in the bar were full of chat and very friendly, making us feel right at home. The room was warm and very comfortable, and quiet, giving us a restful night. If I was in the area I would stay again.

    Warm welcome. Friendly helpful staff. Good food. A truly capacious and well-appointed room, with the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in. It was nice to have a lounge area where I could sit and read a paper after breakfast or a book after dinner. The real fire was a real bonus.

    Dinner menu was rather limited,and we waited rather a long time for our dishes to be served. Breakfast was cooked to order and was very good, but limited to one cup of coffee

    We loved the setting of the hotel. It had a cozy atmosphere and the staff were all very friendly and efficient. The rooms were spacious and well furnished. The dinner and breakfast were exceptionally good. Although we don't play golf this was an excellent hotel to use as a base for a stay in the Aldeburgh area.

    This is a fabulous Inn in an interesting village by the sea. The room was very comfortable with a great view of the historic almshouses. The food and drink served was fantastic and the service was exceptional.

    Bedroom lovely, probably the most comfortable king size bed we have ever slept on ! We were treated like honoured guests and the staff were quite exceptional, polite, attentive and helpful, a real credit to the Inn. Without a doubt we would return.
