Bathroom walls were full of mould. We were there 5 nights & the Black Dolphin didn’t come & give fresh towels or clean the room or take garbage once. The games room is from the 1970s. The spa was empty. The pool was just “ok”. Very dated & musty. Dishes had to be done in the bathroom sink beside toilet. Wifi was useless. Won’t return.

Unfortunately we stayed for 4 nights and not once in that time did anyone come service the room. Found ice cream wrapper on the floor when we arrived. Mold on the roof on the bathroom and paint peeling off. Back door didn’t close properly. Dirty cutlery. Fridge froze everything.
