Amenities & Entertainment
The Dolphin Hotel has two distinct bar areas: a lively main bar showing BT Sports and Sky Sports for most sporting events and a relaxed dining bar. The courtyard, lounge-diner, and decking areas provide outdoor seating for guests. Live music and live sport events are held regularly, with weekend entertainment scheduled.
Dining
Breakfast is included in the room rate and offers English or Continental options with locally sourced sausages and bacon from the butcher across the High Street. A Sunday carvery is available between 12:00 and 14:30, and evening meals are served Monday to Saturday. Guests can request personalized dietary preferences, and the hotel caters for events with a buffet that includes vegan options.
Rooms
The hotel offers 14 en-suite rooms including family rooms with interconnecting spaces and twin or double configurations. Each room has a TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and some rooms are equipped with a fan. Rooms above the outside seating area may experience noise on weekend evenings, but the area quietens after midnight.
