WiFi was good, room was modern enough and has windows that can open. Owen and Margaret are so welcoming and nothing beats waking up to a full English every morning. This type of hospitality is slowly fading so I’m really glad I got to spend time here with such great hosts. I will definitely be back.

Lovely spacious room, large terrace with fantastic views. Quiet. Comfy bed and pillows, easy to use walk-in shower. Reserved parking a few yards away. Great Cornish breakfast, friendly welcoming staff. The combination of hotel room, pub and restaurant works very well. Only a few miles from Newquay airport. We enjoyed our stay tremendously.

The hotel was located in the city centre, near the cathedral, famous Lemon Street, shops, and a bus station. The rooms were clean and there was a lovely garden behind the house. Apart from a shower gel and a shampoo we were also given a vanity kit, which was a huge plus. Right after our arrival, we were invited to a little dining room where we could get coffee, tea, or a hot chocolate, and a peace of a home-made cake. The continental breakfast, which was a pleasant and unexpected surprise, was delicious. The hotel belongs to an elderly couple, both of them were really lovely and helpful and created a uniquely pleasant atmosphere!

Everything. Staff were fantastic. Couldn’t do enough for us. Smiling and happy and they all seemed to enjoy working there. The location was excellent. Breakfast fab and we had a lovely lunch there too. The rooms are 5 star. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Elemis products in bathroom. Luxurious towels, dressing gown and sheets. They even had ear plugs should the seagulls get too noisy. Everything catered for. Fowey is a beautiful location too.

We felt very welcome! Everything was fine! We parked our car just 5 minutes away by foot at the Mount Wise Car park. A lot to see and do next to the guest house, but still quiet at night. We loved the English breakfast and the kindness of the hosts!

Excellent. Great location to explore Cornwall. We stayed for 3 nights, and visited Perranporth, St.Ives, Lizard point, the Minack theatre, Penzance and St.Michael’s mount. All within an hour without rushing. The hosts are fantastic, the room was very nice, clean and comfortable. Shared kitchen was no problem, with storage for each room. Plenty of tea, coffee, and all the condiments to use, as well as biscuits and fresh fruit to help yourself to. A thoroughly enjoyable stay. Will definitely be back.

Superb room, cosy and comfortable. Wonderful hosts. The lady hostess gave us a great introduction about the house and the room. And then she baked a cake for our afternoon tea! Homemade cake- what more to expect! She also helped us to book a taxi for the following morning as we dropped the car in Truro. 10 min easy walk to the city centre of Truro where one can find lots of places to eat. The Cathedral is worth a visit! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quaint town and in the Townhouse.

Dolphin Guest House is a true gem of a place: welcoming, comfortable, great location. Andrew and Stephanie are the perfect hosts and have created a cosy oasis right in the middle of bustling Looe. Exceptionally clean room and bathroom, wonderful room with fantastic facilities and an incredibly comfortable bed; amazing attention to detail, from the fresh milk in the fridge to free parking, fluffy towels and a proper hairdryer. Breakfast is cooked to order and delicious. Thanks for a brilliant couple of days.
