The restaurant wasn’t open for service in the evening. Our superior room was newly appointed, clean and comfortable with balcony view of the river and countryside. Large and clean bathroom. No complaints there. On the downside, there was only one person on reception, the WiFi didn’t work in the room and the cooked breakfast used poor quality sausages. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4552E67900C9A1CE5D59D5427BA4707D7C51B6BD1722106965189.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/57A714B877FE6A96FD5EF6EEF20CD110AD496F6A1722106964963.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6C960252EDD9C7CAAD893D1DED9BEFB813F8990D1722106963478.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3C83766BCEDA271878A4AA8A0B4FDC99FBCE51F41722106965308.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alison Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sam Aug 26, 2024 Liked: Room comfort #### Probably wouldn't stay again. They've put bathroom lights on sensors... Ours didn't work so was flickering a lot, my partner isn't good with that so we got moved to the ground floor, a smaller bed and a disabled room. The bathroom needs a deep clean, there is scum all around the splash boards. The bed is fairly comfortable. The decoration has gone for grey chic and clashes with country chicz I'm not sure they've decided on the theme yet. It's expensive for that it is and doesn't include breakfast.... We were woken up to multiple fire alarms - which didn't help after a late night wedding. The poor receptionist didn't know if he was coming or going - they need more staff!

Now no bar, no meals, breakfast is one of the worst. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lorraine Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Do not buy a premium room here!!! I actually wondered if I were high paying £170 for a room here when I remembered upon check in. Turned up to find no one on reception just a 'back in 5 minutes' sign. No one was back in five minutes so we checked ourselves in - they key was easily reached from the reception desk, so secure! Hotel only tried to take the payment just before check in not at the time of booking, which was annoying for cashflow planning. The room was horribly overpriced for the facilities - I couldn't even find a hairdryer, let alone a welcome pack, which would have been useful as no one was at check-in. I would expect more than a couple of packs of cheap biscuits; no water, welcome note, or fresh flowers, the bed was pretty uncomfortable, no air conditioning, just a cheap floor fan. Very disappointing breakfast area which can only be described as looking like a big working mans club. £10 extra for breakfast on a nearly £200 room is ridiculous. I barely ever leave reviews but I'm here to tell you; do not pay for premium rooms. This hotel does not feel premium and you'll leave regretting the cost. Especially true right now (Aug 24) as they're in the middle of building work and there is material stacked up all over the place. Staff were excellent (morning reception, dining room). ##### Lorraine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jamie Sep 27, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Terrible Booked the hotel online after seeing some lovely pictures we was meant to have a king exec suite with a balcony so the pictures showed at a cost of £185 we got a tiny room no view curtains as yellow as sponge Bob as they probably haven’t been washed in years dead flies on the window seal the bathroom door wouldn’t shut properly as it was rubbing the tiles in the bathroom was dirty and loose all in all terrible ##### Jamie Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Zara Aug 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Weekend stay to visit family. Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and had everything needed in room. Room next to road but no traffic so mainly quiet. Had to keep curtains shut due to people walking past. Brief noise in evening from people having been out and coming back and /or getting cars. Most rooms are away from the road though. ##### Zara Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### John Aug 22, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Aggressive staff Absolutely disgusting service, the staff swore at us and we left the hotel at 10:30pm. There is no restaurant facility and there is construction work whis is not advertised anywhere. The staff are rude and aggressive. Lisa should not be allowed to work in customer service. Ruined my anniversary and i wouldn't recommend anyone atay here. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JACK Aug 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful Location This is the 3rd time we've stayed at the Dolphin, twice at Wedding Receptions which were amazing and this time for an overnight meetup with friends. It is in the process of having extensive alterations but this hasn't in any way affected the smooth running, or cleanliness of this Hotel. Lovely location. Friendly staff. Would recommend it to anyone. ##### JACK Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharon Aug 2, 2021 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Great view Had a great stay. Room was basic but clean with a great view. Close to a town with great shops. Overall a good stay and would book again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5354087A68E8D5368CB68DDEC0F01440701F7F341627899721833.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sharon Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Peterborough by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Peterborough.h281577.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Peterborough.h2928593.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Novotel-Milton-Keynes.h892420.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Lumley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Le-Street-Hotels-Lumley-Castle-Hotel.h175571.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature London Gatwick Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Crawley-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-London-Gatwick-Hotel.h6579.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h520172.Hotel-Information)
