Overall Ratings & Reviews The Dolphin

Really cosy, great atmosphere, nice staff

Lovely staff, easy parking and a nice size room with a lovely bathroom. Only downside was the bright lights outside the window which made it a little bit harder to sleep!!

Stayed there for the horse racing. Service excellent and parking very convenient.

We always have such a nice stay at the Dolphin. It’s relaxed there, but super clean and nice rooms with comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. The food is SO good too. Highly recommend!

Great stay and helpful staff

Polite and friendly . Good parking.

The hotel is actually a few cozy rooms above a pub. The rooms are spacious enough. I have also stayed at the Lodge in Newbury and the Dolphin was miles nicer. I was worried about noise facing the street, but it was very quiet. I never heard any noise from the pub. The staff were very nice and accommodating. This felt more like staying at a friend’s house. The staff are only there during limited hours, so if you are coming and going early and late you may find it inconvenient to get towels or other items refreshed. No after hours check in. You will have a key to access the building after hours.

Great friendly staff. Nice room. Very clean

Friendly greeting as always. Set really close to town Centre, a characterful lovely pub. No hassle sign in. Room clean and always some bottled water. Smallest grumble was the lack choice of Jam for breakfast Will definitely stay again

Very small room and super hot... Stairs only. Window looked out on other windows so have to be careful for privacy. Great staff and breakfast!

Nice and convenient for our needs visiting family. Good size room. Small bathroom. The only real downside is that they dont service the room when staying more than 1 night. Food in pub very good with nice helpful staff.

Room clean and Tidy. Bed comfortable - had a good nights sleep. Continental breakfast quite adequate. Bar staff very friendly. Will definitely stay again.

The Dolphin was excellent. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The continental breakfast just hit the spot. We would definitely visit again.

Room was good , slight issues , tv wasn’t tuned correctly , no guide , don’t think the tea/coffee tray was refilled , only 2 small milks and no tea spoons ! Worst thing toilet cistern handle not working , water continually run instead of refilling after flushing , niggly things really ! Would stay again !

Really relaxed stay - great pub with beer garden, food was delicious. Catered for vegans and made us feel very welcome. Room was everything we needed - would definitely stay again.

This is a lovely pub with refurbished bedrooms. It is located in the centre of town with great parking at rear. The staff were lovely. Breakfast is in the fish bowl! Lovely little room and there was plenty of continental food, no hot breakfast

This was a fantastic find. Great food, wonderful host, who welcomed your personally. Rooms very clean and fresh looking.

Charming, immaculate, very friendly. Great to have pub downstairs to eat. Delicious. Comfortable bed. A little noisy until midnight because of bar downstairs. Room 4 on a Saturday night. Free parking. Delicious breakfast.

Nice pub, service great food and good accommodation. The owners went out of their way to ensure all guests were properly dealt with when a hot water pipe burst in the night, necessitating alternative accommodation to be provided. They organised the booking, drove us there and refunded our costs…this wasn’t necessary, buy very much appreciated. Thank you for dealing with a bad situation in the best possible way!

Overall a nice place. Sadly because of covid the bar was shut. Bedroom was very good but could do with internal double glazing as we were woken early by the local traffic. The continental breakfast was a bit sparse but was of decent quality. In normal circumstances I would think that the experience would be better but you can't legislate for Illness
