    Genuine local charm, Idyllic coastal views, Interactive hospitality

    The ferry noise was unbearable at times!!! The decor in common areas could seriously use an update!!! Hot water availability should be more consistent throughout the day!!!

    quality food
    comfortable room
    outdoor seating
    average chips

    We had a fantastic time enjoying the amazing quality food and comfortable, well-equipped room during our stay. The hotel offers a lovely outdoor seating area and a cozy lounge where you can unwind. The only downside was the chips served with dinner. everything else was top-notch! 🍽️

    delicious squid
    gorgeous steak sizzler
    tasteful decor

    I had such a great time! The squid was the best I've ever had, and the steak sizzler was absolutely gorgeous. Plus, the decor was spot-on with the ship theme.

    Fantastic pub vibe near the sea!

    This place is a gem! Super chill, great for families, and my kiddo loved it. The beer selection was awesome, and the fish trio was a must-try! So close to the beach, we had fun exploring before lunch. Just wished the service could've been a tad quicker during peak hours.

    Amazing stay with seaside views

    We had a fab time! Our room was super clean and spacious, with a killer view of the harbor. Loved having binoculars ready to spot dolphins! Breakfast was on point, especially the Eggs Benedict. The vibe in the bar is cool too, perfect for grabbing a drink. Just wish parking was a bit easier to find.

    incredible food
    attentive staff

    Perfect for a couple's getaway

    The food was incredible, especially the Pavlova, I swear it’s the best I’ve ever had. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed, even during dinner rush.

    It was a bit on the pricey side, but really, for the quality you get, it’s acceptable.

    great central spot for exploring parks and local sights

    I had a wonderful one-night stay where I enjoyed a lovely morning stroll through Penlee Park's beautiful scenery, which is just a short walk from the hotel, and it was perfect for exploring the nearby St Mary the Virgin Church, which added so much charm to my visit.

    ferry noise

    I enjoyed my stay at The Dolphin Tavern. The comfortable room offered a lovely view of the quay. Breakfast had exceptional options, especially the local seafood. Though the noise from the ferry was intrusive early in the morning, the welcoming atmosphere made up for it.

    parking limitations
    early noise

    Stayed one night in a lovely room with a great view. Staff helped carry our luggage. Had a beautiful breakfast. Parking can be tricky, especially in peak times. Perfect location for catching the ferry to the Isles of Scilly. Heard some noise early in the morning from the ferry operations.
