Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Beautifully done up rooms with extraordinary decor (original woodcuts from a local artist, a merino wool blanket - that kind of thing which you don't expect in a hotel). Shower was excellent and the bathroom clean (though the tap was a bit loose). Room was generously sized. Breakfast absolutely fantastic on day one, day two a bit less so - but still excellent choice and very substantial. Garden outside great for mellow evenings. Good place from which to strike out to other places on the Suffolk coast. Check out the printing press that looks out onto the car park!
United KingdomThe waiting staff were brilliant and worked so hare to ensure we had everything we needed.
United KingdomThe Dolphin is a lovely old inn. It has a lovely garden to sit, read and relax. The staff are excellent and attentive. They make you feel comfortable and well looked after. The food is served promptly and is delicious.. I can definitely recommend the steak and chocolate mousse. The room was comfortable, and the Covid procedures good.

United KingdomRoom spotless, everything you could possibly need, staff very friendly. Lots of choice on the tea tray including decaf. Two dressing gowns, slippers and even an electric cool box in the room.
United KingdomGreat location, comfortable room and excellent breakfast.
United KingdomWe liked the large, comfortable bed, and the unusual and attractive breakfast menu, though portions were so big that just one corse would have been enough. We enjoyed our evening meal in the 'snug' area, appreciating the well-varied menu. All but one of the staff were friendly and helpful. Dave, the manager, dealt sympathetically with our problems, some of which suggested a staff member's inexperience or incompetence regarding billing.
