Wonderful two-night stay. Stephanie and Andrew greeted us warmly upon arrival. Room was charming, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The included breakfasts offered a choice of food, were delicious, and served in a classic dining room. We will definitely return here next time we visit Looe.

Fabulous Place to Stay.

We have just returned from a fabulous 3 night stay at Dolphin House. Stephanie and Andrew are fantastic hosts, nothing is too much trouble. The house is beautiful and spotlessly clean with comfy beds and quality bedding. Andrew's breakfasts are cooked to perfection. We enjoyed it so much we have booked in again next year.

We were offered a lovely cup of tea on arrival which we drank in the conservatory overlooking the river. Here Stephanie, very helpfully, informed us of lots of good things in the area worth a visit. The guest house is lovely and beautifully maintained and the breakfasts were superb, well worth TWO GOLD STARS. Xx We will definitely love to stay again when we are in the area. Xx Should add it had its own designated parking, and the guest house is brilliantly situated for the town and travel links.

Amazing two night stay

We had a lovely two night stay at the Dolphin. Stephanie and Andrew were perfect hosts and made us feel at home. They gave us lots of advice about the area. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Lots of choice at breakfast which was delicious. Convenient free parking and a brilliant location for Looe centre and beach. We would definitely recommend.
