Had a lovely welcome from the dolphin when I went last week, couldn’t do enough. For me and my room was amazing …….would highly recommend …. Yes Friday night I did hear the pub but Saturday night I didn’t but it really didn’t disturb me too much and if you book above a pub you would tend to expect some noise, I would and will be happy to recommend and go back there so thank you very much I didn’t eat there as my mum lives in the vicinity so can’t comment on anything other than the rooms There was plenty of parking spaces although the driveway is quite narrow

they are allowing underage people to drink yet claiming they don't, this is clear as mist the underage people are trouble makes but allowed to be in there because of relatives in the workplace

letting underage people drink every weekend who cause a lot of trouble, yet is ignored because family relatives are a part of the workplace.

Arrived at 1700. Pleased with the room. Looked clean and tidy. Had a quiet drink outside in the courtyard outside the room. On arriving back at 2200 the pub was very busy, expected. But!! Very noisy patrons decided to argue loudly, foul language from somone called Chloe to somone called Ben from 1200 until 0130!! Right outside our door. Her mother must be proud of her! and my 76 year old mother wasn't impressed. Then after the pub closed at 0200 three gents decided to have a drunken conversation until asked to leave at 0300. Side note, Decaf coffee and tea would be good in the rooms, along with in date milk and cups that don't leak!! This looks like a quiet pub with nice chalets to the rear during the day but at night morphs into a young person's drunken free for all. This is not a place for people of a certain age!! Very disappointed. Waste of £78!!
