Dolphin, Milwr, Holywell, CH8 7SJ, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
Ceri was very friendly and accommodating. Parking on site very helpful.

Nice comfortable room. Dog friendly. It"s in a peaceful location that is a great base to enjoy North Wales. Kerry and John are excellent hosts.

Everything went well from booking to departure I traveled with my brother for a break Wednesday to Wednesday, we found the meals great through the week and breakfast excellent , the Sunday carvery was great. Our hosts, and all of their staff went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable and safe the bear garden area was a good place to sit and chat with the locals, the car parking has large bays with plenty of space between cars. There was some locals which frequented the bar and restaurant, they were very nice people and made us feel very welcome to the area.

Very nice cooked breakfast, the room was comfortable and clean and the roast dinner was excellent. The staff are lovely and friendly and made us feel welcome straight away. We would definitely go back again in the future.
