There are quite a few maintenance issues we spotted that I thought I should pass on: Lamps in front double bedroom are very dodgy! They cut out and Make strange sparking noises. My son opened the back of the TV remote control in the TV room as it wasnât working and found it had the wrong batteries and were filled with foil?!? There was a lengthy power cut whilst we were there and there were only a few mostly melted candles and the torches not working to light us - luckily the lovely staff at the Dolphin kindly lent us some candles. Ensuite sink broken, the plug once it is in cannot be taken out, the mechanism to lift the plug isnât working. The silver bin which used to be in the kitchen for recycling was in the garden and full of bottles when we arrived. We took our bottles to the bottle bank round the back of the Dolphin and put our recycling in the correct bins, but it meant there was no recycling bin in the kitchen and we had to use carrier bags.

The house is tastefully decorated, nicely furnished with extremely comfy beds and cosy sofas. Loads of space for 10. The kitchen is superbly well equipped and we enjoyed cooking on the aga! The only problem we had related to the ensuite shower which wasn't suitable for our older guests who found they had to walk downstairs to use a stand-up shower. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We stayed with elderly parents who struggled with the stairs, maybe the steepness of them should be mentioned in the listing. Not a complaint as they managed but they did struggle. However, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the position of the house, the amenities and the weather were perfect
