We live locally and won't be going back. The glasses and cutlery were dirty and the waitress had a really unhelpful attitude. I took a dirty glass back and the white wine was poured into a new glass so the red wine sediment just ended up in the new glass. I could go on but would just suggest you give... More

Didnt stay at the Dolphin,just went in for food.Quality and quantity were excellent.I had the sizzling steak and it was beautiful.All other food I saw being served looked equally tasty.Well worth a visit.

We arrived after a long day walking from Portcurnho. On our way to the Dolphin we walked along the sea front of Penazance. The wind was blowing the sea in waves over the pavement and even the road. I'm coming to the point now. The room we had booked was a big double bedroom with a big en-suite bathroom, both... More

Stayed the one night in the Dolphin and received a warm relaxing welcome , very nice spacious room overlooking the harbour.

Good Food well cooked and presented. Good menu. Good Value. staff friendly ( Pets allowed, must be kept on a lead.). For holiday makers it is near the town centre of Penzance. Don't know what else to say to bring it up to the 200 character minimum required by trip advisor. We would go there again

Exactly the same nice welcome and the food lived up to it's billing. We had the slow cooked belly pork, off... More

We were lucky enough to stay in the family room at the Dolphin Tavern for a couple of nights, the rooms are large and modern they are furnished to the highest standard, with fantastic views of the boats in the harbour and the bed is one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in! The breakfast was fabulous and... More
