Well what a find this is. The place is immaculate and well maintained. It’s well organised and the staff are lovely too. I secured my parking space to the rear for £5, which had my name in the space on arrival. My room was clean, comfortable with plenty of amenities too. I had a peaceful comfortable sleep and a lovely breakfast to follow. Well done team, you nailed it.
what a lovely hotel, the welcoming staff, the cleanliness and delicious breakfast it's all just superb. If you're looking for a centrally located hotel I don't think you can do better. The room was really comfortable upto date and spotless. We will definitely return.
A warm friendly welcome from staff who were attentive from the minute we arrived. A beautifully decorated hotel entrance with Christmas tree tastefully lit & reception full of interesting artefacts and sofas to relax in. Beautiful room- well appointed. Will definitely recommend The Dolphin Hotel in Exmouth as a great place to visit again in any season. I imagine booking ahead is highly recommended as it’s a very nice place.
