    John and Grandad were great hosts , anything you needed they were more than willing to help you with. I’ve been backpacking for years and a thought that “hostel” experience as I knew it was long gone until I stayed at Dolphins! I’d definitely go...

    Location was great, right in the middle of town. It was wonderful to have our own room to unwind. The kitchen was well equipped with everything I needed.
