This place suits me perfectly with free wi-fi, electric kettle, and luggage storage. The staff were kind to my old parents during our first stay, and I remember how welcoming they were. I'm coming back for a xmas.

While the location had potential, I was simply shocked by the bed barely fit for purpose, feeling like I could fall out with every turn. breakfast was awkwardly down a flight of stairs. One would expect more consideration , perhaps a complimentary gesture for the inconvenience. I almost gave a good review, but just couldn't.

Bournemouth vibes 🏖️

From the warm welcome from Lena & Miles to the lekker brekkie served fresh each morning, it felt like home! Even got pain meds for my earache—so sweet! And that lovely chat with Miles made us feel like chommies. Totally made the trip special!

Only hiccup was the room next to the entrance was a bit noisy, but it didn't ruin the vibe at all.

The owners were very welcoming, making us feel

right at home during our stay. The family room was spacious and modern, perfect for our group. We enjoyed the great location, close to the beach and town centre. Breakfast was filling. Just a minor note, wish there were more storage options.

The room felt comfy overall, with decent cleanliness that didn’t distract from the experience. The breakfast served in the morning gets solid marks for being hearty and filling.

The ground floor front room near the entrance was a major drawback. every arrival and departure echoed through the room late into the night. the rattling bedroom door during wind added an unnecessary layer of discomfort.

The bed was comfortable, but parking was a nightmare. Owners were very welcoming and made our stay enjoyable.

the en-suite shower was spotless and very comfortable. room lacked water pressure a bit.

Exceptional breakfast cooked to order.

The bed in my single room was barely fit for purpose. it was far too small and felt like a constant risk of falling out with every turn. the bathroom shelf placement above the sink made it impossible to wash my face comfortably, which is something I expect to do without hassle. I also experienced noise disturbances from the adjacent room late into the night, affecting my ability to sleep.

We had a fantastic time here, especially with the awesome BBQ facilities and the lovely garden area for relaxing after a day out. The family room was a hit with our daughter, who loved having her own TV, but we did wish there were a few more channels available for downtime. it was a great stay. we’ll definitely return for some more family fun! 😊

this place is great! very friendly hotel owner let us check in early, which was awesome. the room was tidy and comfy, loved the fridge! location is super central, close to all the restos and a short walk to the beach. it’s quiet at night too, which was nice for sleeping.

the wi-fi signal was a bit weak sometimes and parking's pretty tight if ur not early.

The Dolphins is a cozy hotel with a superb family room equipped with bunk beds that made my kids squeal with delight! Breakfast was an absolute highlight, especially the generous full English that set us up for our beachside adventures. The location is fantastic—just a hop away from the beach and town, making it oh-so-convenient!

Tight parking.

Free parking and excellent wi-fi, but the electric kettle was tricky to figure out.
