Having booked before reading the reviews I was a little concerned about the availability of food. I duly wrote an E-mail to check but receiving no response assumed there was no problem. Arriving at what was undeniably a lovely old pub, we were told that the it was the chef's day off so no evening meal. The rooms are in a somewhat down at heel building opposite. Our room was very basic but seemed clean. The price was a good £ 40 more than it should have been. In the bathroom we noticed there was no soap. going back to the bar we were told that soap wasn't provided. That is a first for me. The previous evening we had asked for an early breakfast, 8.00am as we had to catch the Bantham ferry. We were assured the pub door would be open. Going down at 8 it was locked and remained so until we gave up and left at 8.30am despite the fact that a light was on upstairs. So no evening meal or breakfast despite the fact we'd paid for the latter. The impression I have is that they don't really want to accommodate people but just keep the pub side going. I would recommend that anyone considering the Dolphin assists them in that respect. It could be so much better and the accommodation that followed just accentuated how poor this was.
