We recently attended a wedding on the island and stayed in the dolphin for 2 nights. I have recently been convinced that Irish hospitality was dead and buried untill we arrived here. From the moment we got into Pat's bus on the pier to the moment he dropped us back again this was a fantastically relaxed place to stay. I... More

We were told about this Hotel by the people in Roscommon the Gleeson's family! They were right it is a beautiful Island and the owners of the dolphin were very kind and friendly! the food was top notch and Pat and Kathy were very welcoming! Would highly recommend this as a lovely weekend or romantic getaway! a lovely walk around... More

Hotel staff were helpful and very friendly. Room was well appointed, underfloor heating made it very cosy. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent. Fantastic seafood, beautiful views. Will definately be back.

Loved the couple of days on Bofin. The hotel is ideal. Paddy picks you up from the boat and is very helpful. The rooms are lovely and all that we needed. The dinner was first rate. Breakfast was nice with plenty on offer. The island is breathtaking but has to be seen with a bike. You could walk it but... More

This is a totally unique hotel experience set on a beautiful island the owner pat embodies the true "céad míle fáilte". The location of the hotel is perfect, it has a beautiful menu and is immaculately clean. What really sets this hotel apart from all others is the genuine irish hospitality and friendliness of its host pat.

While it might not look like the most upmarket hotel in the world the Dolphin really is worth a visit. It's a bit of a gem on the beautiful island. Pat the owner is friendly and easy going so it's impossible not to like him! The rooms are lovely and spacious, the staff are helpful and the food(both bar and... More

This was a lovely hotel. The best thing about this hotel is it has just 11 rooms so has a lovely feel at home feel to it. The rooms are large and have loads of natural light. It really made such a difference compared to your typical dreary hotel room. Everything i liked about the hotel. The food was the... More

The co-owner Paddy was incredibly cheery and friendly from the minute he picked us up to the minute we left. Unfortunately he was the highlight of the stay! The room was a reasonable size but very noisy - we could hear every movement from the rooms either side and the bar above. The food was very average for the price... More

We had lunch the day we arrived at Day's hotel. Took forever to arrive, to feed 3 young kids and 3 hungry adults. And the kids food arrive after the adults..... And at that, the food was very average, to poor. Nasty seafood chowder in a watery broth, rather than the expected creamy wholesome soup you expect. Dolphin hotel on... More
