The Dolphin Inn Thorpeness

Review by hotel critic

Dolphin Inn is an excellent choice for families seeking a peaceful coastal retreat. During our family vacation, the proximity to various activities made our stay especially enjoyable. Just a short stroll from the hotel leads to the picturesque Meare, where my daughter delighted in kayaking. We also explored the charming House in the Clouds, which sparked her imagination. The hotel's amenities catered perfectly to our needs. Our room was pleasantly maintained, providing a comfortable base after our day's adventures. The well-equipped fridge was particularly useful for storing snacks for our excursions. Each morning began with a thoughtfully prepared breakfast that showcased local ingredients, a delightful start that even my discerning palate appreciated. Dinner at the pub restaurant offered enjoyable meals that brought us together at the end of the day. The staff was welcoming and eager to assist, ensuring that our experience felt warm and inclusive. Dolphin Inn succeeded in combining comfort, family-friendly activities, and wonderful hospitality, making it a vacation spot worthy of consideration.
