Spent a couple of nights here recently for a wedding happening nearby. Staff were welcoming and friendly, the Inn itself is clean and well appointed, the rooms were lovely, light and airy and the food was excellent. Overall a very very pleasant stay in a lovely little Inn. More

We'd been to The Dolphin four years ago and my husband wanted to go back for his birthday. It was just as good as we remembered. We stayed for four nights. Staff were excellent - nothing was too much trouble. Food superb so we overate at dinner, but was able to order a simple croissant in the morning instead of... More

We stayed B&B at the Dolphin Inn over the Easter holiday and could not fault it. The landlord, David was welcoming and the room was very pleasant - warm, clean, a good size and had all the expected facilities. It is well located to access the Meare, the Golf Club and the beach. The cooked breakfasts were of excellent quality... More

My husband and I decided to eat out for a change - upon arriving we were warmly greeted and shown to our table. The menu was ample and we were recommended to have the pate, which I was certainly not disappointed Having the skate as my main course was certainly a good choice and is was no trouble for the...

We stayed here by complete chance. I needed somewhere to stay that night and did a quick google search in the general area for B&B's or hotels. Many places came up but most were full or seemed too pricey - we just needed a place to crash for one night. I contacted the Dolphin Inn and they had a room... More

We booked at the last minute as we fancied an extra night in Suffolk (we had a voucher to stay elsewhere the following night). Delighted with our decision as it was extremely warm and welcoming from start to finish. We had an excellent dinner and our room (3) was large and comfortable. Just one problem-the loo was reluctant to flush!-... More

We were staying elsewhere in Thorpeness for the weekend and chose to eat at The Dolphin on Saturday evening. The Inn is a very pleasant and comfortable venue similar in many ways to several others along the coast here that cater to the corduroy and Boden clad professional middle class weekenders who flock to Aldeburgh, Thorpeness, Walberswick and Southwold throughout...

When you vist a seaside pub for lunch on a Thursday in early February and there is hardly a (indoor) seat available, it's obvious the owners are doing doing most things right. The welcome & service were very good, the facilities were spotlessly clean, the blazing fire was just what was needed to warm away the chills of a bracing... More
