The food was superb. The selection of ales was to my liking. The room was lovely and clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. The location was serene and picturesque. It was disappointingly not to have a shower in the room, we missed this facility greatly. We realised that the room was too small to accommodate a shower but had we had known that in advance in may have affected our decision to make a book. The outside seating and eating area seemed to be a haven for dog owners and their dogs. Although on the whole the owners were responsible people there were a few who ignored the rules and let their dogs roam free. Maybe a larger sign is needed and staff instructed to remind people.

We had a three night stay with friends and occupied all three available bedrooms. The rooms are comfortable and quiet. The Dolphin is superbly situated for exploring this part of the Suffolk cost, Aldeburgh being a short drive or reasonable walk away. Don’t expect any taxis though. The staff were well organised and pleasant and the bar service first rate. The food is of exceptionally high standard and reasonably priced. You will not need much for lunch after the breakfast! Very highly recommended.

Very very good. Pancakes excellent and made a change from cereals. Very good attentive staff. Room 3 has a shower over the deep bath. Difficult to get in and out if older. If a shower screen was fitted it would make showering easier and safe getting the floor wet. A hand rail would also be very helpful for older guests. A couple of armchairs would also be nice in the dining area to sit in after dinner. Ie make a small sitting area for hotel guests.
